Description(English)	My edition of the bilingual "the Elements of Euclid" includes 35 geometric definitions, each with a graphic explanation using the form of Chinese typography. The left-hand side is where these graphics are placed, and the right-hand side is about the definition text. There are also folded pages included for extended definitions. The Japanese stab binding style is applied to create a vintage quality that refers back to the period of Euclid. The cover stock and text stock used is eggshell paper, which has a rough and pleasing texture.
Description(Native)	我所制作的双语《几何原本》在运用了中文字形的设计理念上讲解了35个基础几何原理。翻开书本，左页上的彩图便是这些字形。字形的设计理念是基于基础的几何图形，圆、方块，以及三角。我以夸张的形式突出了体现相对应几何原理的中文字体笔画，以达到直观解释原理的效果。右页上则是标注了对应的原理解释。除了基础的文章外，我也以中文成语的形式概括了每个几何原理并将其排列在右页上。对于那些因为长度而无法在页面上完全展示的解释图形，我延长了页面大小，并增加了可以折叠的部分。被折叠的部分上印刷着与左页上一样的纯色色块。在装订方面，我为了增加书本视觉上的年代质感，使用了日式装祯。相对应的，封面以及内页的纸质均使用了粗糙表面仿古纸，以此达到复古的效果。
