And so we say to all who’ll listen: Look up, marvel at the ephemeral beauty, and always remember to live life with your head in the clouds!
Cloud Appreciation Society Manifesto


Inspired by the Cloud Appreciation Society Manifesto, this self-published newsprint explores the theme of clouds through a collection of curated texts and visual interpretations. The selected texts reflect the transient and poetic qualities of clouds, while the accompanying imagery adds a personal visual narrative.

The project includes the full design process, from conceptualizing a title and theme to developing a cohesive visual and editorial structure. Both traditional and experimental editorial design techniques were used, balancing grid systems, typography, and visual hierarchies with creative approaches.

The final publication reflects the interest in independent publishing and editorial design, inviting readers to explore the beauty and impermanence of clouds from the artistic perspective.
受《赏云社宣言》的启发,这份自出版的报纸通过精选的文本和视觉解读探索了云的主题。精选的文本反映了云的短暂和诗意,随附的图像则增添了个人的视觉叙事。

该项目包括完整的设计过程,从概念化标题和主题到开发连贯的视觉和编辑结构。使用了传统和实验性的编辑设计技术,平衡了网格系统、排版和视觉层次结构,与创造性方法。

最终出版物反映了对独立出版和编辑设计的兴趣,邀请读者从艺术角度探索云的美丽和无常。

Description
This project uses chromatography to explore the fleeting nature of clouds and the fluidity of emotions they evoke. By carefully applying ink to chromatography paper, the experiment creates delicate color separations that resemble the layered textures and movement of clouds. Each result captures a unique "state" of the cloud, reflecting different moods and atmospheric conditions. This process highlights the intersection of science and art, inviting viewers to observe how color and form can evoke memories and sensations, much like looking at clouds drifting across the sky.
该项目使用 ‘色谱法探索云的瞬息万变及其所唤起的情绪的流动性。通过仔细地将墨水涂在色谱纸上,实验产生了微妙的分色,类似于云的分层纹理和运动。每个结果都捕捉到了云的独特“状态”,反映了不同的情绪和大气条件。这个过程突出了科学与艺术的交汇,邀请观众观察颜色和形状如何唤起记忆和感觉,就像看着云飘过天空一样。

Description
Extending the project’s concept, a set of unique bookmarks was designed, allowing audiences to carry a piece of this visual journey with them. These bookmarks, inspired by the chromatography prints, serve as small, tactile reminders of the project’s themes, merging art and functionality in a simple, charming form.
为了扩展该项目的概念,我们设计了一套独特的书签,让观众可以随身携带这段视觉之旅。这些书签的灵感来自色谱印刷品,是该项目主题的小型触觉提醒,以简单而迷人的形式融合了艺术和功能。

Description
QR codes used as a bridge between sound and peoms, enabling access to a pre-set audio player upon scanning. The audio primarily features human voices reciting poetry, with natural background sound effects changing in response to key words mentioned in the poems, such as the transition from the sound of wind to the sound of rain.
二维码的使用作为声音和诗歌之间的桥梁,扫描二维码即可访问预设的音频播放器。音频主要以人声朗诵诗歌为主,自然背景音效会根据诗歌中提到的关键词而变化,例如从风声到雨声的过渡。
