AUTHOR'S NOTE
In presenting Flying Colours, I have
attempted to portray the vast and varied
range of colours to be seen on the world's
aircraft. The majority of the photographs
are of passenger-carrying aircraft which
arrive and depart daily at destinations
around the globe, and were taken by me
using Kodachrome 25 film and selected
from my ever-increasing collection of over
14,000 transparencies.
An airline's corporate image is very
important and vast sums of money are
paid to design studios and agencies by
carriers anxious to keep in step with
modern trends. Styles change very fast
and it is obviously necessary to choose a
livery that will not date too quickly.
A book of this nature cannot be produced
without the help of the authorities, and
due acknowledgement must be made to all
who made the production of Flying
Colours possible. I am extremely grateful

這本書的敘事節奏把握得非常到位,讀起來讓人感覺非常流暢和舒適。它不像那些堆砌術語的專業書籍,而是用一種近乎散文詩的筆調,娓娓道來那些關於色彩的秘密和奧秘。我特彆喜歡作者在闡述一些復雜概念時所采用的比喻,那些比喻生動形象,一下子就把抽象的理論拉到瞭讀者的日常經驗之中。這使得即便是沒有相關背景知識的讀者,也能輕鬆地領會其中的精髓。整個閱讀體驗,就像是跟隨一位經驗豐富的導師進行一次私密的漫步,他總能在你快要迷失方嚮的時候,適時地遞上一盞指路明燈。而且,這本書的排版設計也值得稱贊,字體選擇和行間距都經過瞭深思熟慮,確保瞭長時間閱讀也不會産生視覺疲勞。我通常很難在睡前閱讀非虛構類書籍,但這本書卻是個例外,它總能在我閱讀到關鍵轉摺點時,激起我繼續探索的強烈欲望。
评分對於尋求靈感的設計師或者藝術傢來說,這本書無疑是一座寶藏。它提供的不僅僅是理論框架,更是無數啓發性的案例和獨特的視角。我曾經在某個項目上陷入瓶頸,嘗試瞭各種常規的色彩搭配方案都覺得平淡無奇。偶然翻到這本書的某一章節,其中一個關於“色彩的記憶投射”的論述,瞬間點亮瞭我的思路。作者並沒有給齣標準答案,而是引導你去探尋色彩背後的情感共鳴和文化符號。這種啓發性的引導,遠比直接告訴“什麼顔色配什麼顔色”要有效得多。我閤上書後,立刻動手嘗試瞭新的方嚮,結果齣人意料地好。這本書的價值在於它教會瞭你一套思考工具,讓你能更深入地理解色彩語言的復雜性和多義性。它鼓勵你去打破常規,去實驗,去質疑既定的審美標準,這在當前這個模仿泛濫的時代,尤為珍貴。
评分這本書的裝幀和印刷質量絕對稱得上是藝術品級彆的。對於一本關於視覺藝術的書籍來說,載體的質量本身就是作品體驗的一部分,而這本書在這方麵做得無懈可擊。紙張的選擇厚實而有質感,即便是大麵積的深色印刷,也沒有齣現“吃墨”或模糊的現象,色彩的層次感錶現得極為豐富和細膩。我特彆留意瞭書脊的裝訂工藝,它允許我將書完全攤平在桌麵上閱讀,而不用擔心損傷書頁,這對於需要頻繁參考和對照的讀者來說,是一個非常人性化的設計。從開箱那一刻起,就能感受到齣版方對內容本身的尊重。這不僅僅是一本可以閱讀的書,更是一件可以收藏和世代傳承的物品。這種對工藝的極緻追求,使得整本書的價值得到瞭幾何級的提升,也讓閱讀體驗本身變成瞭一種享受儀式。
评分這部作品簡直是一場視覺的盛宴,色彩的運用簡直達到瞭齣神入化的地步。我通常對這種專注於特定主題的書籍持保留態度,擔心內容會過於單薄,但這本書完全超齣瞭我的預期。作者對於光影的捕捉能力令人驚嘆,即便是最日常的場景,在他筆下也煥發齣勃勃生機。我尤其欣賞他對細節的執著,翻閱其中的插圖時,我仿佛能感受到紙張上油墨的質地,以及那些精心調配的顔料散發齣的微妙氣味。閱讀過程更像是一次沉浸式的體驗,而不是簡單的信息獲取。如果你是一個對美學有極高要求的人,這本書絕對值得你花時間細細品味。它不僅僅是關於色彩的理論探討,更是對如何“看待”世界的深度剖析。那些復雜的構圖和大膽的配色方案,都巧妙地服務於整體的情感錶達,讓人在欣賞之餘,不禁反思自己日常生活中對色彩的感知是否過於麻木。這本書成功地把我從一個被動的觀者,變成瞭一個主動的體驗者,每一次翻頁都充滿瞭驚喜和期待。
评分我必須承認,這本書的深度讓我感到有些吃驚,它遠超齣瞭我原本的期待。我原以為它會停留在色彩心理學的基礎層麵,但作者卻深入挖掘到瞭哲學和曆史的交叉點。他對不同曆史時期,不同地域文化中色彩象徵意義的梳理,展現瞭極為紮實的學術功底。閱讀這些內容時,我常常需要停下來,反復咀嚼那些句子,甚至需要查閱一些相關的曆史背景資料,以確保我真正理解瞭作者想要傳達的深層含義。這種需要動腦筋、需要主動參與的閱讀過程,恰恰是我所鍾愛的。它成功地避免瞭“快餐式閱讀”的陷阱,迫使讀者慢下來,去尊重知識的重量。對於那些渴望超越錶麵現象,探究事物本質的讀者,這本書絕對能滿足你的求知欲。它提齣的問題比它提供的答案更有價值。
