Romance Framed in Time
Editorial | Event Branding
A tribute to Formosa
Romance Framed in Time (RFT) is a book that explores Taiwanese film, culture, and history—celebrating the island’s enduring commitment to portraying romance in all its forms. From joy to pain, beauty to struggle, RFT captures the emotional and nostalgic essence of Taiwan, offering a heartfelt tribute to the complexities of a place we call home.
To evoke nostalgia, the typography is thoughtfully designed to resemble the flow of poems and handwritten letters. Photography is laid out in sequences reminiscent of photo strips, emphasizing memory, time, and emotion. The project also includes supporting media such as wristbands, promotional posters, video posters, and a coffee table book.
