Recollection

Recollection is a final special issue featuring the achievements of Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program conducted by the Institute of History and Philology of Academia Sinica, Taiwan since 1998 to 2012. Consisting of a book along with a jacket poster and a manga booklet, the publication features inspiring stories and in-depth reports about history, culture, technology, education and economics. The imagery of embossed annual ring on both front and back cover not only symbolizes the accomplished achievements in the past ten more years, but responds to the title that every project and research in the book are memorable milestones of the whole program. Except for the book's Traditional Chinese content, the jacket poster concisely shows the program's achievements in English. To visually enhance the diversity of the research projects, tracing paper was used as printing material to give the poster various looks when placed on different background. The design strategy was, by making use of tactility, to give the intangible knowledge a tangible form that marries the accumulated intelligence with the beauty of print media.
