Clement Vincent | Higher Colleges of Technology (original) (raw)
I am a graphic designer, researcher and teacher with a transcontinental perspective. My research and pedagogical focus is on visual communication, with particular interest in image making, typography, and layout structures for multiple scripts publications.
In my design work, I often explore the integration of text in various contexts and situations, such as the urban environment, the page, and the image.

This article focuses on a specific printing technique that uses wooden movable-type for the editions of genealogies. It is a detailed description of the various steps involved in the printing process: type carving, layout / composition of pages, and printing as seen practiced in Dongyuancun, a village in Rui'an township in Zhejiang province, mainland China. Additionally, the examination of past genealogies kept at the Gushan and Zhejiang libraries in Hangzhou shed light on the artistic and typographic value of these editions. However, the making of a genealogy book, its format, paper, layout, and kind of characters used, cannot be fully understood without an appreciation of the cultural, social, historical, and religious traditions associated with it.
