Print Design :: Soh Jin Ping

Being an absolute print geek, it’s difficult to hold back my glee when I stumbled upon Soh Jin Ping. This Singapore based designer is has a wealth of stunning and inspirational work under his belt.

I’m particularly taken with his Poetics of Harmony project, where he has carefully handcrafted and assembled a minimal ink book. 


The stitch bound book follows a harmonious story - each beautiful page revealed precedes one that compliments it perfectly.



Another project entitled Nyctophobia combines the normal reading system for visually-abled with braille. 

The book, featuring a poem by Bill Watterson, aims to allow visually-abled readers to learn Braille by introducing blanks in between stanzas within the poem, which serves as a coded message for readers to decode. 


Black ink is intentionally used to print on the black pages to visually capture the fears lurking in the dark, as experienced by the protagonist in the poem.

All in all, Soh Jin Ping is a designer you should check out as there is sure to be one of his previous projects that captures your imagination.
