本書為中國山水畫畫傢李研山的研究專著，文字圖片量大，對於圖文搭配展示的研究高，更需要突齣展現畫傢個人風格特點：即精湛的臨古水平、對於古代經典作品的繼承、及齣眾的用色。

This research monograph on Li Yanshan, a traditional landscape painter, features a large amount of text and images; much efforts are put into the layout and design of the monograph to highlight artist’s distinctive personal styles from different periods, including his way of emulating ancient artists, appropriation of earlier masterpieces, and excellent use of colors.

設計的靈感來源自宋版書《錦綉萬花榖》，並參考瞭諸多古代名傢眉批旁注的古籍善本。為瞭方便讀者查閱，本書將支撐正文的不同文字材料環繞在正文四周排列；力求消解學術著作長文帶來的乏味，本書在斷章上更具有節奏感；分辨率不一、取徑多元的圖片經過設計，呈現在與之搭配的頁麵上。最後，本書加入瞭中國傳統冊頁的元素——引首，並結閤類正方形開本，試圖讓讀者攤開書籍翻閱、調轉書籍時獲得冊頁的把玩感，從而享有良好的閱讀體驗。

The inspiration of the design draws from the Song-dynasty book entitled the Beautiful Flower Valley, and makes references to the commentary sections of various books from the Song down to Qing dynasty written by many literati. To make it reader- friendly, this book arranges the supporting textual evidence around the main text, to make academic book more enjoyable to read. Furthermore, the book is deliberately broken into chapters in a rhythmic way. Images with different resolution in different sizes are reserved for different parts of page. Finally, this book adds an element derived from the traditional Chinese album – colophon 引首; combined with the designed folio, the book is intended to entice readers, making reading a fun play.
