Final Major Project _ Blessings: Anatomy Of Writing
Concept: Making ordinary unknown_RE-LEARN BLESSINGS
During my research about Chinese blessings, I found I still have to learn a lot about those blessings especially in symbols and also writing methods.This is a re-learn process for the author, and the author's job will be introducing these symbols to local people.
This concept also inspired by Kenya Hara's book designing design, chapter one: Re-Design.
'Re-design refers to a redoing of the design of ordinary objects. You could see familiar things as if it were our call it an experiment, an attempt to look at the very first encounter with them. Re-design is a means by which to correct and renew our feelings about the essence of design, hidden within the fascinating environment of an object that is so overly familiar to us that we can no longer see it. Producing something new from scratch Is creative, but making the known unknown is also an act of creation. Maybe the latter is more useful in nailing down just what design is.'
Body OF work: Anatomy of writing
Hanzi is a more complicate writing system than the Latin. And the complexity even worse in hand script. Generally speaking, Chinese people do Hanzi to make every character is the same because writing Hanzi is a process of seeking change. But as the New Year's greetings ligature, written on the wall, they stay in the grey area between signwriting and traditional calligraphy. I think it should have something that lets everyone understand its laws and structure. In such an era of factories and assembly lines, many seemingly random things can be assembled by assembly lines. I think these blessing ligature have this potential for this as well.
