tayako Independent Publication Thread on Paper Vol.6 // Black Cocoon x White Butterfly // Page: 28 pages Page Size: 160 mm x 280 mm Paper: Art Paper Printing: 4-color black and white printing Binding: Thread-sewn binding Language: Traditional Chinese Source: Printed in Taiwan Design / Illustration: tayako Publisher: tayako // Conception // Anticipating the beauty of breaking free from the cocoon. This is a collection of black and white illustrations and poetry, created in a pen and ink style. The work utilizes the elements of dots, lines, and planes from graphic design, along with composition, to bring this project to life. A custom typeface was designed for the publication. While I considered using a handwritten typeface, the meticulously structured dot and line design better conveys the intended feeling of this volume. The entire book is composed of independent chapters, with a few recurring characters acting as the soul of the work. In addition to illustrations, you'll find short poems I've written, a candid look into the studio's "useless" endeavors, and a concluding mini-comic. https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1373608108-1948831378.jpg https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1375508580-751592522.jpg https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1375077539-3492084773.jpg https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1375875347-3327057387.jpg https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1394350134-1971168101.jpg https://pic.pimg.tw/tayako/1386849912-579113501.jpg
