"Arrow, aesthetics and future"
As a designer, arrows are frequently used in my designs. So in this project, I traced the origins of arrows, from ancient arrowheads evolving into modern directional signs, carrying both modern and ancient symbolic meanings. From both a design and scientific perspective, for example, using the simplification process of Swiss design and considering the aesthetic and future trends based on the directionality of time and physics, as exemplified by Stephen Hawking's quote.
My design concept involves using a triangle as both the arrow's point and as a cover and back, pointing in two directions. Viewers can choose to start from the end, moving from modern to the past, or follow the sequence of cover-modern-past-future as a continuous loop. Each page represents a section dedicated to a specific topic, with the ancient arrowheads serving as guidelines in the middle spreads. Finally, I provide a summary and analyze the research findings at the end. I also experimented with different media, presenting the project in the form of a newspaper, poster, and website.
