The design is unique
The binding design of "Paper Tiger Calendar" also reveals the spirit of pursuing the ultimate ingenuity.
In order to better present the works of artist Lu Dadong, the whole book adopts four-color fine printing, and avoids destroying the integrity of the work due to the layout design, and in order to maximize the enlargement of the work, the 14cm × 16cm folio are selected when designing the folio size.
Moreover, this kind of square folio is not large, small and cute, look at the comparison between "paper tiger" and Apple mobile phone. Look at the proportion of the editor's sister putting into the small bag... Very lightweight aren't they?
In order to protect these exquisite inner pages, when binding, we specially used hardcover, although this will greatly increase the cost, but as a responsible publishing house, our principle has always been "where you should not save money, you can not cut the door"!
As a calendar, The Paper Tiger Calendar hasn't forgotten its job – it's easy for readers to read on the table. In order to achieve this function, we have selected a bare-spine lock line that can be read flat at 180 degrees, so that more than 700 pages in 365 days can be turned smoothly and comfortably, and have a beautiful curve like an organ from the side.
With a nice inner page and binding, the cover naturally can't pull the crotch. The designer racked his brains, and after countless days and nights, he finally created this cover, which was jokingly called "colorful red".
The cover chose red as the main color, which is in line with everyone's expectations for the New Year, and the background imitates the appearance of the calendar tearing off.
The three words "paper tiger" were deliberately modified by Lu Dadong in combination with the cover effect, and the final draft was created. After the designer got these three words, he conceived of multiple versions, and finally determined the two shades of white and gold, which are now the signature version and the regular version.
The gold letter is the signature version
The white text is the normal version
