Frandisco Studio↗️ is an art and design collective operated
collaboratively by its members. We are committed to creative exchange and the
ignition of inspiration, encouraging members to form project teams freely,
collaborate on creations, and collectively transform abstract ideas into
tangible works. FolDer Magazine is an art and design experimental publication
project born within Frandisco Studio. Our inaugural issue revolves around the
theme of visual poetry, aiming to disrupt the traditional textual form of
poetry through visual experimentation, and explore the essence of poetic
meaning through a visual approach.
‘Rebellion’ has been a crucial theme throughout modern design and art history. Artists and designers were constantly subverting the ideas of their predecessors from humanism to modernism.
Visual poetry, also known as concrete poetry, is a form of poetry where words and visual elements take the lead. Its most distinctive feature lies in its departure from traditional poetic formatting. Prior to the mid-20th century, poetry was considered a specific art form consisting solely of written words. However, visual poetry introduces playful typography and imagery, liberating poetry from the constraints of conventional textual arrangement.
This prompts us to consider the possibility of poetry transcending singular forms and even breaking free from the confines of two-dimensional space, allowing for various expressions of ideas, poetic sensibility, and aesthetic appeal. Inspired by visual poetry, we embarked on our own visual experiments, exploring the following questions: How can we transform the text of common paper products into graphical content? How can we present a harmonious integration of words, imagery, and visuals inspired by classical poetry? Can poetry be written using pictograms and symbols? Can those fleeting and beautiful moments of poetic inspiration in life be captured and conveyed through words and illustrations?
Through self-conducted workshops and ongoing exchanges, we have developed our own artistic and design works through the collision of creativity. The result is FolDer Magazine, a collection showcasing these unique creations and demonstrating the potential richness of visual poetry in a contemporary context.

Frandisco工作室↗️是一个由成员们共同运营的艺术与设计团体。我们致力于创意交流和灵感激发，鼓励成员们自由组成项目小组，合作创作，将抽象的创意共同转化为有形的作品。FolDer杂志就是在Frandisco
Studio中孕育而生的艺术与设计实验刊物项目，我们的创刊号以视觉诗为主题展开，在视觉实验中尝试打破诗的传统文字形式，以视觉的方式探索诗意的真谛。
在近代的设计史与艺术史中，“反叛”是一个至关重要的主题。从人文精神到现代主义，艺术家与设计师们通过不断颠覆前人的理念将诗的概念重新定义。
视觉诗，也被称为具像诗，其最显著的特点是与传统诗歌不同的版式编排。在二十世纪中期之前，诗被认为是一种仅包含文字的特定文学形式。而视觉诗将趣味性的排版和图像引入到诗中，使诗能够摆脱传统文字排印的限制。
这让我们开始思考或许诗也可以超越单一的形式，甚至摆脱二维空间的限制，以各种方式表达理念、诗意和情趣。因此，我们以视觉诗为灵感，从以下几个问题出发开始了各自的视觉实验：如何将常见纸制品的文字转化为图形化的内容？如何呈现古诗中文字、意象与画面的统一？诗是否可以用象形文字和符号写成？生活中那些短暂而美妙的诗意瞬间，是否能被词句和绘画所捕捉和传达？
在自办的工作坊和持续的交流中，我们在创意碰撞中发展自己的艺术或设计作品。最终产出的FolDer杂志集结了这些独特的创作，展示了视觉诗在当代背景下可能的丰富内涵。
