Colour and Halftone
A book Colour and Halftone is focusing on the theme of the copy. A concept is looking at a specific aspect of the color printed images where we can easily see in our daily life. This book presents a high quality of the scanned images that are extremely zoomed in. The image displays halftone dots in CMYK color accordingly. Through a book Colour and Halftone, the readers can have an act of observing the specific appearance of images that are already printed. A choice of the original image (original printed media) was beauty magazine 'Glamour beauty book AW19' and 'Monthly Fashion November.' Beauty magazines have chosen as original media to deviate from our viewpoint, which is looking at the general appearance of a particular thing. When people read beauty magazine, reader focus on the general representation other than the detailed, real aspect of something, including a person and external appearance. In Colour and Halftone, readers can focus on the detailed appearance of certain things by zooming in the images from beauty magazines intentionally. Therefore, the significant concept of Colour and Halftone is to deliver a new experience of looking at a more detailed view by using the theme 'copy' and media of printed books. Make readers experience unique action by looking at halftone dots of the image that can be seen with a high-quality scanned image that fulfills the purpose of the experimental and theme of the copy.
