Nua Calendars: A Unique Pocket-Sized Edition Book Design

Nua Calendars, a pocket-sized edition book design, celebrates the centennial anniversary of Nanjing University of the Arts (NUA) by showcasing historical documents, works by teachers and students, and presenting different perspectives reflecting the school's unique position and contributions to the history of modern and contemporary art education in China.

By adopting a different approach from conventional literature collections, the "Nua Calendars" has been transformed into a pocket-sized edition. It utilizes off-white artistic paper and adopts the format of an old-fashioned calendar, presenting a unique texture reminiscent of that era. The intention is to accompany readers in their journey through past artistic eras. The book incorporates black and white historical photographs, yellowed documentary materials, and vibrant artistic works, providing readers with a sense of historical immersion and enriching their exposure to art.

This book is different from conventional literature collections as it incorporates the functionality of a calendar rather than simply showcasing documentary images. Its layout design not only takes inspiration from the style of old-fashioned calendars but also carefully aligns the historical significance of the images with the current date on the calendar. This allows readers, while flipping through the calendar, to gain insights into what significant events or completed works occurred on that specific day in history.
