UPSIDE-DOWN PERSPECTIVE
From content to form and back
 
Through a collaboration of A14/Daniela Lorenzi and Cristina Balbiano d'Aramengo, the theme of this new series of workshops proposes bookbinding and original print making techniques as instruments for graphic design project planning and production.
Intentionality, technique, form, content, and language are all elements which equally contribute to the successful design, planning, and creation of a book or a folder.
The workshops provide an opportunity to closely look at the world of small publishing houses and limited edition artists books, and draw inspiration from artists and graphic designers projects, as well as from significant experiences in bookbinding.
 
THE PROGRAM #05
The colour and its perception

Primary / Secondary
Transparency / Overlay
Juxtaposition / Contrasting
Subjectivity / Interference
Saturation / Veiling

From the purely biological point of view, the colour is generated in the eye and thus constitutes a sensory impression.
We will talk then of chromatic impression.
Colour as a sensation, the interpretation of which varies from individual to individual. Perception that changes according to the mood.
Through a palette of primary and secondary colours we will see what happens directly engraving some synthetic or metallic matrices, then applying a series of variations and possibilities during the printing process.
We will then make the binding, using a structure that lends itself to testing and comparison of variations, and we will be able to put together the polychrome printing with chine-collé inserts (adding particular coloured papers while printing) with interventions with thin shaped metal sheets and various materials rolled with ink, and possibly playing with transparencies.
