Seven Days and Nights Love is Daylight: A Novel Approach to Book Design

Zhiyou Tian's Award-Winning Design Merges Art, Philosophy, and Innovation

Seven Days and Nights Love is Daylight, a unique book design by Zhiyou Tian, offers a fresh perspective on the integration of art, philosophy, and modern design. Inspired by Mucha’s artistic tone, this design stands out for its vivid vitality, aesthetic interlocking, and intricate details that provide a rich and varied reading experience.

Zhiyou Tian, the lead designer, drew inspiration from the mystery and sacredness of love, time, and the celestial bodies. The design logic and style are unique, reflecting the book's content philosophy. The design is a graphic novel of international business and romance, presenting a new art classic with a gorgeous style and dense philosophical thoughts. The plot tumbles into the picture, creating a visual impact and sensory temperature for the readers.

The design's unique properties lie in its careful refinement of core characters, scenes, dramatic conflicts, and images. Each illustration is designed with rhythm from still frame to microscopic color, providing a visual feast for the readers. The fluorescent acrylic book box matches well with the fluorescent colors inside the book, creating a harmonious aesthetic.

The book uses seven types of paper, each corresponding to the scene of the seven days, echoing the book's title. The change of paper brings subtle differences in touch and light and shade, making the reading rhythm well-arranged. The 360-degree graduation design of the pages forms a beautiful arc book trace, adding to the book's uniqueness.

The design process was not without challenges. Ensuring a high degree of unity of the book margins while considering the different characteristics of the paper's double-sided subtle changes was a significant hurdle. However, these challenges were overcome, resulting in a book design that is not only visually appealing but also tactilely distinctive.

Seven Days and Nights Love is Daylight is not just a book; it's a novel of multinational business elite spheres with a plot that tumbles into the pictures and color relaxation. This design has been recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, earning the Silver A' Print and Published Media Design Award in 2022. This award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
