📁Project Planning and Design Motivation
The overall visualization concept for the binding project began with the motivation to create a design product closely connected to my daily lives. I started systematically photographing observations related to signs, colors, and signifiers in the ordinary places I visit regularly. These weren’t glamorous locations like department stores or white cube spaces, but rather everyday environments—subway stations, stationery stores, university, and city streets—where everyday visual communication takes place.
