WarmUp First

WarmUP First是京都小型艺术空间WarmUp热身的开幕主题。首展由设计师王远率先为空间预热，借由WarmUp First主题系列创作打通空间的筋络，开启京都热身计划。WarmUp First系列海报尝试在图形和字体设计方向上展开一次新的实践。通过笔画的粗细变化让字体自然舒展和拉伸，版面空间的不断错位强化画面的节奏和律动，图文共同呈现出一个关于身体与空间关系的构图实验。
WarmUP First* is the opening theme of the small art space WarmUp in Kyoto. The inaugural exhibition was launched by designer Wang Yuan, who initiated the space through the WarmUP First thematic series, activating its structure and setting the Kyoto Warm-Up Plan in motion. The WarmUP First poster series represents a new exploration in both graphic and typographic design. Variations in stroke thickness allow the letterforms to expand and stretch naturally, while the continuous displacement of layout elements reinforces rhythm and movement within the composition. Together, image and text form an experimental study on the relationship between body and space.
