【 Description|作品介紹 】
"Radiant Eateries: Hong Kong Restaurant Neon Sign Drawings" is a book about Hong Kong's neon signage. We hope to bring readers an experience related to neon signs through the book design.
All the handwritten manuscripts in this book use eight-color printing (including fluorescent pink, fluorescent green, fluorescent yellow and fluorescent orange), bringing out the true visual effect of the signage artworks. Readers can use the UV torch provided with the book and shine it on the fluorescent ink-printed neon handwriting in a dark environment to simulate the glowing effect of neon lights at night. As fluorescent ink is added to the manuscript lines, if the ink amount is not accurately controlled, it will cause color differences from the original manuscript. Therefore, we have conducted numerous tests before formal printing to determine the best ratio of different inks in each manuscript and the effect of the ink printed on the book paper.
《燈虹酒綠——香港餐飲霓虹燈招牌手稿》是一本關於香港霓虹招牌的著作,我們希望於書籍設計上帶給讀者與霓虹招牌相關的體驗。此書一共分兩部分,第一部分講述香港霓虹燈歷史與香港餐飲歷史,第二部分記錄了218張餐飲業霓虹招牌手稿。
本書全部手稿均用上八色印刷(加入了螢光粉紅、螢光綠、螢光黃及螢光橙色),活現出招牌手稿的真實視覺效果。讀者只要利用本書附送的小電筒、於昏暗的環境下照射於印上了螢光油墨的霓紅手稿,便能模擬出霓虹光管於晚上發光的效果。由於手稿線條中加入了螢光油墨,若墨量拿捏得不準確,便會造成與原稿的色差,因此我們於正式印刷前亦經過多番測試,確定每張手稿、每條線條中不同油墨的最佳比例、以及油墨印於書紙上的效果。
