伍佰、陳昇御用唱片設計師Akibo，出道30年作品全記錄 五月天、伍佰、蕭青陽、聶永真 感動推薦 影片：http://goo.gl/GakiSh 《AKIBO RECORDS》這本書，是以「視覺演唱會」的角度攤開在讀者面前。 演唱會的開端，我們見到的是30年來Akibo一張張的精采創作，在流行音樂蓬勃發展的年代，Akibo與音樂創作人激盪出火花，包裝了時代的聲音，在視覺上綻放了特屬Akibo的氣味。 緊接而來，是Akibo與作者張晴文一起創作的文字，忠實地反應Akibo對於設計的理念、與音樂創作者的合作，以及對於設計的各種想法。 而最高潮，則是那些Akibo從來沒公開的設計手稿，我們彷彿見到了創造的痕跡，在宛若「演唱會幕後」的探索下，看到解構Akibo創作的可能。 關於設計，Akibo曾經這麼說： 「每次做作品集或者挑展覽作品的時候，也是面對自己作品最殘酷的時候。總會覺得：當初為什麼會覺得這件很好呢？反過來說，如果某件作品一直被留下來，就是連音樂的元素也抽掉了，還是一個好的設計。就像很多唱片我兒子根本聽也沒聽過，但光看封面設計，還是會覺得這張唱片很酷。」 本書收錄的作品，正是承襲上述的精神。不單是好設計，更不會因潮流退去而褪色，永遠閃耀著意義。 經典唱片設計...
