History of Kite
With the visual design of the book “History of Kite”, written by Xu Yiyi in 1992, the creative Bingyan Xue, born in Nanjing in 1983, takes an in-depth look at an old Chinese tradition: on wafer-thin pages and with a filigree layout, he conveys the story of the paper kite. Nothing is left to chance, historical illustrations are skilfully placed and loving details such as the jagged edges of fold-out elements or the typographical book cutting testify to Xue’s feel for the analogue medium.

History of Kite
The “History of Kite” is a lovingly remastered edition of a work by Xu Yiyi. In the typography, the Old Song font merges with modern design elements, while emoticons like kites float freely in the air. Newly added illustration pages are printed on rice paper, and hidden kite legends can be found in the intermediate pages.
