Synopsis:
he cut-out patterns are from my father’s book Book cover collection in the West, which was published in 1988, when China’s leaders launched their great reform and opening up to embrace the world. Many leading concepts of book cover design were introduced in the book and this book had an eye-opening influence on the younger generation of Chinese designers since then.
