2. Editorial Design: Spectrum of Words

Spectrum of Words is a personal self-introduction poster designed in the form of information design. It is an editorial piece that illustrates the designer’s experience in reading, and how word in literature colors a person’s life.

The self-introduction is demonstrated in a square graph. The x-axis defines the rhythm of words while the y-axis defines the flux of time. Thus the two-dimensional space establishes a growing spectrum composed of words. Horizontally, the successive words, sentences or text blocks in the graph form curve lines that expresses the reader’s emotional wave when reading. Vertically, the 6 text spectrums and their corresponding curve lines represent 6individual reading experiences, which gradually transform from basic word to novels. As the years progress, the texts spectrums become more colorful while the overlapping and intertwining of texts become more vivacious. Also, different font-faces are used in order to express the different atmospheres of reading.
