Project 2: The Story of Plants and Humans

In terms of typesetting, I used the shape, growth trend and outline of plants to typeset the text again. I think this is an interesting way to read. Readers can intuitively feel the shapes and characteristics of plants they have not seen before, so this is a very interesting way for readers to get close to nature.

In terms of text content, I wrote my own story about my life in Beijing and plants. Maybe many readers have not visited Beijing in the future, but they can get a basic understanding of Beijing's plants through my books. I think this is a very good way to spread plant species, and it is also the process by which readers understand plants and nature. It is very meaningful and memorable to spread a variety of plants in one place to places where there is no such plant through a book. I will bring readers into my story, and inspire the readers' stories about themselves and the plants around them.

In terms of packaging and binding methods, I made a book box that can be opened, with a few pieces of bark pasted on the outside. When readers touch the book box, they can feel that nature is inside the book box. This is also a way for readers to get close to nature.

In addition, I also made plant paper to preserve the original taste and touch of plants to the greatest extent. Readers can intuitively touch real plants by touching and smelling plant paper. This will ease people's work pressure, relieve eye fatigue and gain a sense of innocence.
