簡介_ 水不在深，有龍則靈。龍游清溪，不沾污泥。節操清峻，不為物役。
創作概念_
「水不在深，有龍則靈。」——出自唐朝詩人劉禹錫的《陋室銘》，意思是水並不在於深淺，只要有蛟龍潛藏便顯出神靈，以此借喻為甘於淡泊、不為物役的高尚情操。
這小小的豆本共有9層色紙（42張），由淺綠漸變成寶藍、及至深綠，每層皆鐳射切割了龍身體的不同部位，層層重疊，建構成立體的小蛟龍。龍如得水，能興雲作雨，一飛衝天！

【PMQ設計講座】書的設計語言
關於閱讀，我們不免會想到文字內容，但書本總是以各種「語言」與讀者溝通，內文以外，還有封面、字體、排版、裝訂、材質、印刷及加工等，對話在翻頁前已經開始。所有細節的總和，就是一場完整的閱讀體驗。是次講座邀請到陳曦成（曦成）及麥綮桁（Mak）兩名書籍設計師就「書的設計語言」進行分享及對談：
曦成將從「書的身體」，如結構、材質及排版等說起；Mak則會談及文字設計、排版、文庫本及活字印刷，以及其書籍與字型創作經歷。既然主題是紙本書，當然必須捧在手上，感受閱讀的質感。兩位設計師將帶同個人收藏出席分享，我們誠意邀請所有參與者也帶上你們喜歡的書籍設計到場一起交流，期待看到各式各樣、充滿驚喜的作品。

Design Talk – The Way a Book Speaks
When we talk about reading, we will inevitably think of the text. In fact, books communicate with readers in different “languages”, be it cover, type, layout, binding, materials, printing… The dialogue begins before we open the book.
Every detail counts towards a holistic reading experience. In this talk, two book designers Chan Heishing and Mak Kai-hang will share insights on “The Way a Book Speaks”:
Hei Shing will talk about “the body of the book” in terms of structure, materials and layout; Mak will speak about typography, layout, bunkobon (pocket-sized paperbacks in Japan), letterpress printing, and also his works.
As we are talking about paper books, of course we have to hold them in our hands to feel them. The two designers will bring their collection of books to the event. We hope you will join us and bring along yours so that we can enjoy a variety of book designs from each other.
