运用八色印刷技术和四种荧光油墨,书本将霓虹招牌的鲜艳光芒活现眼前。 霓虹灯作为香港的视觉标志,1950至1970年代间霓虹灯牌背后的精湛工艺,均在书中详尽记录。 书本更特意配备小型紫外光电筒在黑暗中使用,模拟晚间霓虹灯的耀目效果。 书本分为两个部分:一部分探讨香港霓虹灯的丰富历史以及当时繁荣的餐饮业; 另一部分则记录了218个细致的霓虹灯牌手稿。经过精心校准的荧光油墨,尽可能接近原本霓虹设计的效果,避免色彩失真。

DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024 – Grand Award


By using eight-colour printing, including four fluorescent inks, the publication brings the vibrant glow of Hong Kong’s iconic neon signs to life. It allows readers to explore the intricate craftsmanship behind the city’s neon signs from the 1950s to the 1970s. The experience is further enhanced by a mini UV torch, which, when used in a dark environment, simulates the radiant effect of neon light at night. This interplay of light and colour transports the reader, blurring the line between page and reality. The book is divided into two parts: one delves into the rich history of Hong Kong’s neon lights and the city’s thriving restaurant scene, while the other documents 218 detailed neon signage manuscripts. Fluorescent inks, carefully calibrated to avoid colour distortion, ensure the closest possible representation of the original neon designs.
