| Review |
The is an exhausive research on Sun Yat-sen
Parks globally. Since it is a historical reseach,
many deteriated photos requires retouching, so
as to show the content clearly. Meetings with the
editor are held to ensure the information is
organized in a proper order for layout designs.
Because it is a scholarly findings and time limit,
the accuracy of the information is more
important than fancy layouts. Therefore, a simple
layout inside is suggested and more effort will
be invested in the cover and chapter pages.
"Leaf" is chosen as the main theme of the whole
book to link up the concept of park. For the
cover, While light green leaf represents the
"leisure space", the golden iconic leaf and
photos of parks embedded in leafs represent the
human effort on nature - parks are "man-made
natural environment". For the chapter page,
different kinds of leafs comes up different
species of trees. Some species can only be
found in our country but some can only be found
outside the country. To convey the meaning of
Sun Yat-sen Parks outside our country, foreign
species of tree are used to become background
image of the chapter page.
