DESIGN NAME: 24 Solar Terms
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Font Application Image Design
INSPIRATION: The Huaxia forefathers of China invented the calendar thousands of years ago. They divided the year into 24 solar terms, which guided early farmers on how to work the field. Using the idea of cyclic time flow, font design breaks down the strokes in radicals through an expression of lines. Spatial expressions of the empty and the solid are then put on display. A specific shade of green was chosen to symbolize the vigor of the land.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Chinese farmer's almanac recorded climate patterns based on seasonal changes. Every rotation, turn and placement from the lines and structures of Chinese characters symbolizes the change between "action" and "stillness" under the laws of the world. The crafting of dot, line and plane patterns based on solar terms is an interpretation from the sentimental pens of font creators.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The composition of Chinese characters is the radicals composed of strokes, and then the combination of radicals and radicals is the combination. This is the basic appearance of Chinese characters. Creative fonts should also pay attention to and solve the structure, proportion, rhythm, rhythm, etc. of good characters. The problem is that the written and designed glyphs are compact, beautiful, well-balanced, and uniform in style.
CHALLENGE: When using the font architecture for disassembly design, I was worried that it would affect the structure of the font itself and the viewer's recognition of the font. It is a challenge in the design process.
