The Doors
The story is about two men who live in their generation , and one day they just take a walk as usual and go back home. However, when they open the door, they see the decoration is different from their owns . They change to each other’s.
The better way to read this book is turning both side of the pages at the same time. I created the symmetry illustrations so that the readers can compare the different life of two characters.

Hand-made Book 手工書
This vision is one of the projects what I have made for master degree in Kingston University. The whole part of it is hand-made and print by HP printer. I really like the texture of cover. I forgot the name of this cover paper. I found it near the painting tool shop in Kingston town in London.
這個版本是在我就讀倫敦金斯頓大學期間的一個專案。整本都是我自己手工製作，由於我是用電腦繪圖，上面插圖的印刷我就只是用一般的HP列表機。我蠻喜歡封面的紙的材質，但我忘記這個紙的名字，我是在學校附近小鎮的美術社找到的，我記得是個義大利的名字。
Publishing Book 印刷本
This vision is the one which self-publishing by crowdfunding in Taiwan in 2014. I change the texture of cover to canvas because the original one is too hard to keep it. And there is an ISBN now. “The Doors " becomes a real book.
這個版本在2014年，在台灣藉由群眾募資的方式自費出版成書。為了讓封面更容易保存，因此材質上改成畫布而不是使用原本的材質。然後兩扇門有ISBN了，他現在是一本真的書。
