The "point" in the geometry only indicates that the location does not have area and direction. In the plane structure, "point" as one of the modeling elements has an important role that cannot be ignored. Although in the ancient times of human hand-made surface decoration pattern, "point" has been widely used. Today, however, contemporary designers still use a variety of variations and permutations of "points" to reproduce the stunning artistic charm of "points."
In Japan's book binding art, the means used for cover decoration can be described as different styles and genres. However, one of the most zeitgeist forms of expression is the use of "points." Looking at the expressions of “points†in the art of book binding in Japan in the past ten years, it can be generally summed up in four types:
First, strong adjustments are made in order to form order and order. The beauty is also a kind of rhythm beauty. It is implied in strict patterns of the same size, equal intervals, and horizontal and vertical. Uniform and easy to fall into the plate lag. However, in the back-to-back battle, excellent personalities will also be produced. The cover decoration of the Constitution of Japan is simple and eye-catching. It is an equally spaced arrangement of vertical and horizontal points. Applying to the decoration of the cover of a book of the Book of Code is to unify the mentality of order that people expect. At the same time, the "red spots" printed in white also subtly reveal the source of this idea. When the designer feels that the "dot" equidistant alignment method is very appropriate for the decoration of the book, it reproduces the decorative theme in the design of the front and rear rings. Miao is not a simple repetition, but uses a cover-up version of the cover. This repetition of positive and negative changes produces rhythm and rhythm, giving the reader a clear impression.
Second, the use of natural scattered composition, resulting in a variety of visual effects If it is neat and uniform rhythm like a strong percussion, then the composition of scattered points is the music and beautiful music and music. Scattered dots are lively and varied, scattered and unorganized, and orderly. Designers need to be miserable, but not sober.
Third, the use of a similar group of combinations, revealing the style of the era "point" is not limited to a round shape, it can be square, triangular, rectangular and irregular shapes and so on. However, the size of its area, of course, must be limited to the range of visual effects that must be "points." On a network of equal intervals, one or more of the above-mentioned various other shapes may be transformed by converting the dots of one or a certain group of units. This type of technique is called a similar grouping combination. The characteristic of a similar grouping combination is that there are changes in the unity.
Fourth, the borrower uses the Japanese characters to form the concept of expression. In general, the square characters including the Japanese characters are visually arranged in "points". Therefore, the Japanese characters can also be used as the decoration of the "points." "Materials" to use. The use of the law of plane formation should be organic, and it must not be allowed to bind itself. The "point" formed by the square words is used in conjunction with the "points" of the geometric shapes. It also has new meanings.
