[en] DELIGHTFULLY TACTILE: PRODUCTION OF PRESENCE AND AFFECTION IN BOOK DESIGN / [pt] DELIGHTFULLY TACTILE: PRODUÇÃO DE PRESENÇA E AFETO NO DESIGN DE LIVROS

LARISSA ANDRIOLI GUEDES 29 March 2017 (has links)
[pt] Delightfully tactile: produção de presença e afetos no design de livros pretende discutir a materialidade do livro através do design gráfico, partindo, para isso, de duas diferentes possibilidades de observação do objeto: o design emocional de Donald Norman (complementado pela teoria dos afetos de Antonio Damasio) e a produção de presença de Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. Para entender como as duas se relacionam entre si e como se podem aplicar ao livro, utilizo-me da descrição de quatro livros que compõem o corpus da presente pesquisa: Bartleby, o escrivão, de Herman Melville e Avenida Niévski, de Nikolai Gógol, ambos publicados pela Cosac Naify; Composition No. 1, de Marc Saporta e Tree of codes, de Jonathan Safran Foer, lançados pela Visual Editions. As duas editoras que publicaram estas obras fazem parte de um setor no design editorial que, como defendo em minha argumentação, trabalha para uma retomada da presença como referência do ser humano através da criação de projetos gráficos que tencionam mobilizar o afeto de seus leitores através da materialidade táctil. A partir do contraste entre dois livros tradicionais e as já citadas obras, esta dissertação se propõe a entender de que forma a configuração física do livro influencia a nossa percepção da arte. / [en] Delightfully tactile: production of presence and affection in book design aims to discuss the materiality of the book through graphic design by using two different ways of seeing an object: the emotional design by Donald Norman (along with the affect theory by Antonio Damasio) and the production of presence by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. As a meaning of understanding the connection between them and how they can apply to the study of books, I describe four books that are part of the corpus of this research: Bartleby, o escrivão, by Herman Melville, and Avenida Niévski, by Nikolai Gógol, both published by Cosac Naify; Composition No. 1, by Marc Saporta and Tree of codes, by Jonathan Safran Foer, published by Visual Editions. These two publishers are part of a segment of the publishing design that as I argument works to reclaim the presence as a reference to the human being through the creation of graphic projects which try to affect the reader by using the tactile materiality. From the contrast between two traditionally designed books and the previously mentioned works, this dissertation tries to extract a comprehension of how the physical configurations of a book can change our perception of art.

[en] INTERACTIVE E-BOOKS: A LINK BETWEEN THEORY, EXPERIMENTATION AND DESIGN / [pt] LIVRO DIGITAL INTERATIVO: UMA ARTICULAÇÃO ENTRE TEORIA, EXPERIMENTAÇÃO E DESIGN

LEONARDO FERREIRA MARTINS 29 May 2017 (has links)
[pt] Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo entender tanto as práticas de leitura em dispositivos eletrônicos quanto os lugares do design na produção editorial de livros digitais. Partindo da premissa de Roger Chartier (1998) de que os suportes de leitura participam profundamente na construção de significados dos textos, procurou-se verificar as percepções dos leitores frente aos dispositivos de leitura eletrônica, mais especificamente com livros digitais interativos. Diferentemente dos livros digitais lidos em Kindle, Kobo e em outros dispositivos similares, os interativos são lidos em tablets com recursos multimídia mais avançados. Afastando-se ou não da forma do livro tradicional, a qual os primeiros livros digitais procuram simular, os livros digitais interativos abrem um novo campo para estudo, tanto da recepção quanto de sua produção. Nesse cenário, empreendemos uma pesquisa exploratória que utilizou duas técnicas principais: a pesquisa bibliográfica e o grupo focal. A literatura nos campos da história do livro, da leitura e da interação entre o livro e o suporte nos forneceram bases para se analisar as práticas de leitura, os conceitos do objeto-livro e as tecnologias. Seguindo a perspectiva dialógica de Bakhtin (2003), segundo a qual cada enunciado é um elo na corrente complexamente organizada de outros enunciados, entendemos ser frutífero articular esses dois conhecimentos: as vivências e opiniões de leitores, extraídas nos grupos focais, e as teorias e conceitos encontrados no estado da arte da pesquisa acadêmica. Ao fim, concluímos que o livro digital interativo ainda busca sua linguagem própria, num movimento constante de aproximação ou afastamento com o livro impresso. Ainda, que designer de livros digitais interativos tem papel fundamental nesse caminho da descoberta de uma linguagem, por meio de sua atuação como mediador da leitura: ele deve trabalhar não só com tecnologias e conhecimentos práticos, mas também com seu olhar voltado ao afeto e às emoções que os livros, enquanto objetos de leitura, digitais ou não, provocam nas pessoas. / [en] This research aimed to study both the reading practices in electronic devices and the design roles in the e-book production. Based on Roger Chartier s (1998) premise that the meaning of a text is deeply affected by the media in which the texts are read, we engage an analysis of readers perceptions regarding e-readers, more specifically using interactive e-books. Unlike e-books read on Kindle, Kobo and similar devices, the interactive ones are read in tablets capable of rendering more advanced multimedia resources. Whether emulating aspects of the traditional book or not, interactive e-books opens a new field for study, both of reception and production. In this scenario, we undertook an exploratory research that used two main techniques: the bibliographical research and the focal group. The literature in the fields of book history, reading, and the interaction between the reader and media has provided us a foundation to analyze reading practices, the concepts of the book as an object, and technologies. Following Bakhtin s (2003) dialogical perspective, to whom any utterance is a link in a very complexly organized chain of other utterances, we understand that it is fruitful to articulate these two knowledges: the experiences and opinions of readers drawn from focus groups, and the theories and concepts found in state-of-the-art in the academic literature. Finally, we propose that interactive e-books still seeks its own language, in a constant movement of approach or distance towards the printed book. Moreover, the interactive e-book designer plays a fundamental role in building a language, through his agency as mediator of reading: he must deal not only with technologies and practical knowledge, but also focused on affection and the emotions that books, while objects of reading, whether digital or not, causes in people.

Design do livro-objeto infantil / The design of book-object for children

Elizabeth Romani 31 March 2011 (has links)
Esta pesquisa analisa o design do livro-objeto infantil e seus instrumentos lúdicos, categoria relacionada às produções recentes, e associada aos crescentes investimentos do setor editorial, principalmente, infantil, a partir de 1950. O livro-objeto é, aqui, compreendido como um produto de expressão artística passível de reprodução cuja narrativa é explorada por meio da manipulação. A relação do projeto gráfico com a estrutura lúdica tem como objetivo entender o processo de produção do livro-objeto. Os estudos de caso investigam essa relação nas obras de Pacovská e Munari, autores consagrados pelo uso da linguagem experimental. O estudo do livro-objeto ainda carece de bibliografia específica, por isso a construção teórica parte da junção de autores de áreas de conhecimento distintas. Esta dissertação está estruturada em quatro capítulos, abordando os temas de forma semelhante às encontradas em Perrot e Linden. O trabalho prático investiga possibilidades de projeto, ligando a teoria à produção. / This work aims to analyse both the design of book-object for children and its respective ludic instrument. This type of book has being recently published, and there is an increasing interest by the editorial sector, mainly after the 50\'s. The book-object is understood as a product of artistic expression and susceptible of to be reproduced. The narrative results from the interaction between the book and who is handling it. The relationship of graphic design with the ludic structure has the objective to understand the production process of the book-object. Books written by the famous authors Pacovská and Munari were chosen for the development of the case studies. These authors are quite well-known by their experimental books. This monograph contains four chapters, describing themes which are similar structured to the books written by Perrot and Linden. There is also included in this work a chapter about graphic experiments which search new possibilities for designing books.

O livro de literatura: entre o design visível e o invisível / The literature book: between the visible and invisible design

Iara Pierro de Camargo 11 March 2016 (has links)
Os livros destinados à leitura contínua, como romances, apresentam, em sua maioria, leiautes simples. São livros funcionais, destinados basicamente à leitura e que raramente chamam atenção para seu design. Obras simples como essas poderiam, em uma primeira análise, ser concebidas como \"invisíveis\", de acordo com os conceitos apresentados no ensaio The Crystal Goblet or Printing Should be Invisible, de Beatrice Warde, de 1930. O ideal da invisibilidade se refere ao design transparente, que não oculta o conteúdo (texto) e é baseado em etiquetas de composição que asseguram sua qualidade. Em oposição a essa abordagem \"invisível\", observa-se, tanto hoje como desde o início da produção de livros impressos, livros de literatura com uma abordagem \"visível\", isto é, que apresentam vinhetas, capitulares, ornamentações, ilustrações e até experimentos tipográficos. Esta tese, a partir de exemplos encontrados em bibliotecas especializadas em edições raras, contempla estas duas abordagens em cinco séculos do livro impresso. A pesquisa privilegia o estudo de dois momentos históricos em que essas duas abordagens são evidentes: as primeiras décadas do século XX, em que ao mesmo tempo em que se defendia o livro \"invisível\" eram produzidos diversos livros especiais e ilustrados na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, e o segundo momento, o atual, em que se observa que a maioria das obras são simples e produzidas a partir de templates e em que, como alternativa \"visível\", temos o surgimento de editoras como Cosac Naify (Brasil), Visual Editions (Inglaterra), Almadía (México) e Libros del Zorro Rojo (Argentina e Espanha), que trazem elementos visuais para seus livros. A presente pesquisa busca investigar a \"invisibilidade\" e a \"visibilidade\" no design do livro impresso de literatura (prosa), de forma a promover o debate sobre estas duas categorias e testar a hipótese de que a visibilidade dos livros contemporâneos é resultado de uma integração entre projeto gráfico e texto literário, cujo resultado são livros que apresentam tanto uma função estética quanto semântica, além da funcional, que é a da leitura. / Books intended for continuous reading as novels present mainly simple layouts. They are functional but aimed basically to reading and rarely drawing attention to its design. Simple projects like these, in a first analysis could be conceived as \"invisible\", accordingly to the concepts presented in Beatrice Warde\'s essay \"The Crystal Goblet\" or \"Printing Should Be Invisible\" from 1930. The idea of invisibility refers to the transparent design that doesn\'t hide the content (text) and it is based in composition labels that ensure quality. In opposition to this \"invisible\" approach, we see, nowadays and also in the beginning of the production of print books, literature books with a \"visible\" approach, that is, that present vignettes, capitulars, ornamentations, illustrations and also typographic experiments. This thesis, starting from examples found in specialized libraries, discuss these two approaches in five centuries of print books. The research privileges the study of two historical moments, in which these approaches are evident: The first decades of the 20th century, in which at the same time the \"invisible\" book was defended and there was also a production of many special and illustrated books in Europe and United States. The second moment, nowadays, in which we see most part of the works produced starting from templates and in which, as a \"visible\" alternative, we see the appearance of publishing houses like Cosac Naify (Brazil), Visual Editions (England), Almadía (Mexico) and Libros del Zorro Rojo (Argentina and Spain), which bring visual elements to their books. This research focuses on how to investigate the \"invisibility\" and the \"visibility\" at the design of press book literature (prose) as a way to promote the debate of these two categories and test the hypothesis that visibility in contemporary books is the result of an integration between graphic project and the literary text, what results in books that present an aesthetics function and also a semantical one, beyond the functional reading.

A study in design of covers for self help books concerning depression / En designstudie i formgivning av omslag för självhjälpsböcker om depression

Bossuyt, Liv, Wolter, Märta January 2016 (has links)
Studiens syfte var att utforska hur bokomslag för självhjälpsböcker inom kategorin depression bör formges för att passa den specificerade målgruppens perspektiv och ämnets karaktär. Syftet besvarades med hjälp av fyra frågeställningar. Inledningsvis undersöktes teori och målgruppens preferenser i en förstudie. Därefter följde ett designarbete där författarna formgav fyra bokomslag utifrån förstudien: Bokomslag 1 (Bubblor) som fokuserar på ett abstrakt, personligt, modernt och dynamiskt uttryckssätt, Bokomslag 2 (Vattenfärg) vars gröna vattenfärgsmotiv går från mörkt till ljust för att symbolisera livets olika nyanser och skeden, Bokomslag 3 (Paper Art 1) vars motiv symboliserar att ta sig igenom det mörka för att komma fram till ljuset, samt Bokomslag 4 (Paper Art 2) som med sitt motiv väcker associationer till hav och fokuserar på att skapa en harmonisk och hoppfull känsla. Avslutningsvis utvärderades omslagen av målgruppen, där Bokomslag 2 och 4 fick bäst respons och ansågs mest lyckade. Den avslutande frågeställningen var övergripande och syftade till att hitta aspekter som kan vara viktiga att ta i beaktande vid formgivning av bokomslag inom kategorin. I studien kunde ett antal mönster utrönas i vad målgruppen värdesätter. Följande riktlinjer skapades därefter, som rekommendationer vid formgivningen: det är svårt men viktigt att skapa en balans mellan positivt och dystert i omslagets stämning; abstrakta motiv med en lämplig symbolisk koppling till ämnet är att föredra; det är positivt om bokomslaget sticker ut från mängden; målgruppen uppskattar omslag som känns estetiskt tilltalande, moderna och färgrika; linjära teckensnitt är att föredra då de upplevs moderna och tydliga; omslaget bör inte avslöja bokens innehåll och ämne för tydligt.

Pen and Printing-Block: William Morris and the Resurrection of Medieval Paratextuality

Tittle, Miles C. January 2012 (has links)
My dissertation, Pen and Printing-Block: William Morris and the Resurrection of Medieval Paratextuality, considers William Morris’s influence on the rise of paratextual awareness, his negotiation strategies for Victorian England’s social identity, and his rhetorical construction of an idealized past through textual artifacts. The effect of Morris’s growing social awareness on his transition from illumination to print is reframed by considering his calligraphy as paratextual experiments, based on medieval examples, in combining graphic and discursive meanings with rhetorical and social dimensions. The varied and less ambitious agendas of those printers who followed Morris’s Kelmscott Press, however, limited Morris’s legacy in the book arts. The full significance of his illuminations’ meaningful interplay between text and image, and the social intent of these innovations applications in print, has received little critical attention. The opening chapter frames Morris’s visual work in light of his philosophies and introduces the major concerns of material art, the role of history, the limits of language, and the question of meaningful labour. The second chapter surveys select predecessors of Morris’s developing conception of the Gothic, the significance of architecture as its defining form, and the irreplaceability of the physical past. The third chapter considers the role of the illuminated manuscript in Pre-Raphaelite art, tracing Morris’s calligraphic experiments chronologically while identifying medieval inspirations and examining his artistic development. These experiments led to his final collaborative manuscript, the illuminated Æneid which is the fourth chapter’s focus. The sophistication of its paratextual elements is discussed in light of its unique physicality and limitations. The fifth chapter asserts the Kelmscott Press’s role in balancing craftsmanship and aesthetic paratextual strategies with reproducible models. The Kelmscott Chaucer is the culmination of these strategies, and it is compared to the visual rhetoric of its predecessors. The final chapter compares the philosophies and calligraphic elements of major private presses that followed Kelmscott’s legacy. This evolution of aesthetic, social, and practical considerations is also identified in the work of selected Canadian printers, and a final note considers the implications of the rise of immaterial digital text (radiant textuality) for the continuation of material paratextuality’s role in the future.

Ink / Ink

Vomelová, Lenka Unknown Date (has links)
-ink- ink is a small independent publishing house, that is aiming to publish student-written literature with graphic design and illustrations made by young designers and artists. Main goal of the publishing house is to support, execute and spread projects of young, not yet estabilished authors and artists and thus develop the contemporary art scene. The visual identity of the publishing house is left open, it is going to be created in time by the books that are going to be published by ink. The logo is often used as a background to posters, or a stamp over photographs. I'm letting the content to speak for it's brand, not the logo. I created business cards, bookmarks, a stamp, wrapping papers that are used for parcels as well as a background for posters, and stickers. Novel Devil Novel Devil is a first book published by ink. Author of the book is Jan Smutný, recent graduate of Faculty of Fine arts in Brno. Illustration and the overall design of the book are made by me. The design is inspired by gothic books written in textura or bastarda and illustrated with woodcuts. My aim was to create a book clearly referencing this visuality, but not a „retro“ or a historicist book. I tried to create a classical book with a modern twist. That's why I chose new, modern typefaces Enigma and Lapture and the illustrations are just vector lines. Because of the theme I work only with black and and background white colour. The book was published in 200 copies.

[en] POCKET BOOKS: DESIGN PROJECT AS READING MEDIATING AGENT / [pt] LIVROS DE BOLSO: PROJETO DE DESIGN COMO AGENTE MEDIADOR DA LEITURA

SIBELLE CARVALHO DE MEDEIROS 04 April 2016 (has links)
[pt] A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo entender as visões projetuais que acompa-nham os livros de bolso pertencentes ao gênero de literatura infanto-juvenil no cenário nacional. Interessa-nos contribuir com a compreensão acerca de quais são as visões projetuais aplicadas aos livros de bolso e de como o design participa da mediação da leitura de um público inscrito na contemporaneidade. Temos por pressuposto que o design é agente mediador da leitura e que, consequentemente, o projeto gráfico característico das edições de bolso participa de forma ativa na construção de hábitos de leitura e na conversão de significados para o leitor. Como recorte de pesquisa, elegemos livros de bolso presentes no 16 Feira Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil, ocorrida entre 28 de maio e 8 de junho de 2014 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Na pesquisa de campo, entramos em contato com as diferentes maneiras como os leitores se relacionam com essas edições. A partir do levantamento dos livros de bolso de literatura infanto-juvenil, realizamos a análise gráfica do design de nove deles, editados pela L&PM, BestBolso e Zahar, o que nos permitiu enxergar as visões projetuais dessas edições. Constatamos que nos livros de bolso publicados por essas editoras, é predominante a manutenção de parâmetros relacionados às caracte-rísticas históricas e formais deste objeto. Por fim, destacamos a importância do papel mediador do design na aproximação e formação de novos leitores e apontamos as potencialidades ainda não exploradas pelos projetos gráficos dos livros de bolso nacionais de literatura infanto-juvenil. / [en] The present research aims to understand the project visions that accompany pocket books that belong to the gender of children and adolescent literature in the national scene. It interests us to contribute to the understanding of which are the project visions applied to pocket books and how Design participates in the mediation of reading of the contemporary public. We assume that Design is the mediator of reading and, consequently, that the graphic project of pocket editions participates actively in the reading habits and the creation of meaning for the reader. We have selected as a research focus the pocket books that were found in the 16th National Book Fair of Children and Adolescents, which occurred between May 28th and June 8th, 2014 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In the field research, we have encountered the different ways in which readers relate to these editions. From the survey of children and adolescent books, we have made a graphic analysis of the design of nine of them, which were edited by L&PM, BestBolso and Zahar and allowed us to see the project visions of these editions. We have concluded that in the pocket books published by these publishing houses the maintenance of the parameters related to the historical and formal characteristics of this object is predominant. Finally, we highlight the importance of mediating role of Design on the approach and formation of new readers, pointing out the potentialities yet not explored by the graphic projects of national pocket books of children and adolescent literature.

Deconstructing Thought Forms : Ett bokformgivningsprojekt om ett färg- och formsystem över hur tankar och känslor ser ut

Nycander, Olga January 2021 (has links)
Ett bokformgivningsprojekt som visar färg- och formteorierna i boken Thought Forms (1905) som ett tidigt konst- och designteoretiskt verk. Boken Thought Forms (1905) av Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater är en teosofisk bok som presenterar ”tankeformer” som visar hur tankar och känslor ser ut för den klärvoajanta. Boken tros ha inspirerat abstrakta konstnärer som till exempel Vasilij Kandinski och Hilma af Klint som båda var medlemmar i det teosofiska samfundet. Genom en serie på tre böcker presenterar jag färg- och formsystemen i Thought Forms som ett tidigt konst- och designteoretisk verk. Projektet är lika delar en undersökning av känslor och andliga idéers påverkan på formgivning som ett ut utforskande av bokformens påverkan på läsningen av ett innehåll. Projektet består av tre handgjorda böcker som presenterar bilderna, förgläran och formerna ur Thought Forms: Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Figures Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Colours  Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Shapes / A book design project that shows the theories of color and form in the book Thought Forms from 1905 as an early of art- and design theoretical work. The book Thought Forms by Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater is a theosophical book that shows "thought forms". Colourful shapes formed by thoughts and feelings, only visible for the clairvoyant. The book is believed to have inspired abstract artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint, who were both members of the Theosophical Society. Through a series of three books, I present the color and shape systems from Thought Forms as an early art and design theoretical work. This project is both an investigation of the influence of emotions and spiritual ideas on design as an exploration of the book designs effect on how we receive a content.    The result is a series of three books: Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Figures  Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Colors Deconstructing Thought Forms: The Shapes
