《道德經》是道家學派最具權威的經典著作，本研究透過不同版本的道德經比較分析，重新設計以圖錄與經文互為對應的圖錄文集，本專題將道德經的內容挑選分類為三篇:論道篇、修道篇、治世篇，將歷史流傳久遠的成語與經文哲裡對應，把哲學圖像化。並以經摺書的方式呈現，將摺頁完全拉開可成為相互連結的插畫。裝幀運用傳統中國錦盒的設計，視覺主要以中國傳統書法，行草來呈現出道的抽象概念，以簡化符號象徵道中的寓意，小山訴說世界的空間，流水象徵的是柔和，而圓點則是時間，所有的人事物相處之道總是需要時間的磨合才能得到老子所想訴說的道。
老子說-Laozi Said
該設計將《道德經》的內容分為三章：“論道，修道，治世”，將古老的哲學思想轉化為說明性材料。以可折疊的經書形式出版和展示，可以折疊成一體，就像一系列涵蓋了生活大智慧的哲學思想一樣。
This design classifies the content of the Tao Te Ching into three chapters: About Tao, Practice Tao and Governance, turning age-old philosophical thoughts into illustrative materials.They are published and presented in the form of foldable sheets, which can be fully unfolded into a large piece, like a series of philosophical thoughts covering the great wisdom of life.

在手冊的封面上，以中國書法（草書）表現了道的抽象概念，道的道德用簡化的符號表示：山是老子的世界，流水是柔軟的象徵，點是世界萬物的時間。與所有人和事物相處的方式，需要時間才能得到老子提倡的道。
On the cover of the booklet, the abstract concept of Tao is presented by Chinese calligraphy - running-cursive script, with the moral of Tao represented by simplified symbols: The hill is the world of Laozi, the flowing water is the symbol of softness, and the dot is the time of all things in the world. The way of getting along with all people and things needs time to get the Tao that Laozi was advocating.

《道德經》是道家最權威的著作。在台灣出版業中，有關使用圖像/文字解釋《道德經》的書籍並不常見。關於《道德經》的大多數出版物都是深奧的，對普通學生而言幾乎沒有興趣。通過比較分析，我們製作了包含圖像和文字的經書，以引起普通讀者的興趣。
The Tao Te Ching is the most authoritative text of Taoism. In the publishing industry of Taiwan, books about the Tao Te Ching interpreted using images/text are not common. Most of the publications on the Tao Te Ching are esoteric, which are mostly of no interest to the general students. Through the comparative analyses, we produce booklets containing images and text to pique the interest of general readers.

錦盒的視覺主要以中國傳統書法來呈現出老子的韻味
圖錄經文
我們以經摺頁的方式呈現，主要是可以將繪本拉開為一幅長篇畫作，收起時可以當作一般的書籍去閱讀欣賞，藉此做到一書兩用的概念，使用經摺頁的方式是希望能夠表現出中式風格以及古代奏摺的感覺，奏摺也有代表著古代呈給皇上的重要書籍。
上圖為我們的經摺圖錄分頁方式
經文的頁面配合主視覺的符號意象延伸設計，配合老子的精神以減法的概念 不加太多繁華裝飾，以藏青色的底加上灰白色的字讓背面更加有經書質感。
圖錄學習卡
卡盒為抽拉式的包裝外盒
老子騎青牛出函谷關，是道教文化中一個著名的意象，因此我們將老子與青牛的插圖與卡盒連結。牛自古以來都是人民耕地的幫手，親近人類和土地，且性情隨和溫順，擁有「厚德載物」的象徵。故將青牛象徵著自然與循環之道。

學習卡是將圖錄內容卡片化，讓他成為一個可以方便攜帶，同時兼具學習與欣賞畫作的功能，並不會因縮小影響了原有的效果。
每篇故事圖像是相互連結的，但可以清楚的分開不會因此搞混。
