"Point" in geometry only indicates that the position does not have area and direction. In the plane composition, as one of the modeling elements, "points" play an important role that cannot be ignored. Although "dots" have been widely used in the decorative patterns on the surface of handmade products in ancient times. However, to this day, contemporary designers still use multiple variations and permutations of "dot" to reproduce the amazing artistic charm of "dot".

　　In the art of book binding in Japan, the composition methods used for cover decoration can be described as various styles and genres. But one of the most zeitgeist manifestations is the use of "dots". Looking at the expression of "dots" in Japanese book binding art in the past ten years, four types can be roughly summarized:

　　 One, strong adjustments and uniformity to form the beauty of order

　　 The beauty of order is also the beauty of rhythm. It is contained in the strict mode of the same size, equal interval, horizontal and vertical. It is easy to fall into stagnation if it is neat and uniform. However, a last fight will also produce excellent works with great individuality. The decorative effect of the cover of "The Constitution of Japan" is simple and eye-catching. It adopts the method of arranging the horizontal and vertical points at equal intervals. When applied to the decoration of the cover of the book, it unifies the mentality of order and parallelism that people expect. At the same time, the white "dot" printed in red also cleverly reveals the source of this idea. When the designer felt that this "dot" arrangement method was very appropriate for the decoration of this book, he reproduced this decorative theme in the design of the front and rear ring linings. The wonderful thing is not a simple repetition, but a negative version with a cover decoration. This repetitive change of one positive and one negative produces rhythm and rhythm, which brings a clear impression to readers.

　　 2. Use natural scattered points in the composition to create changeable visual effects

　　 If neat and uniform is like percussion with a strong sense of rhythm, then the scatter composition is a beautiful melody of silk and bamboo music. The scattered points are lively and changeable, scattered but not chaotic, and change in an orderly manner. The designer needs to be bleak and unremarkable.

　　 3. Adopt a combination similar to grouping, revealing the style of the times

The shape of 　　"dot" is not limited to a round shape, but can also be square, triangular, rectangular, irregular, and so on. But the size of its area must of course be limited to the range that must be the visual effect of "points". In an evenly spaced network, the dots of a certain unit or a certain group of units are transformed into one or several of the above-mentioned other various shapes. This technique is called similar grouping combination. The characteristic of similar grouping is that there is change in the unity.

　　Four. The debit is round and cleverly used Japanese kanji to form an expression of the idea

　　 Generally speaking, square characters including Japanese kanji are visually arranged as "dots", so Japanese kanji can also be used as decorative "materials" for "dots". The application of the law of plane composition should be organic, and you can't let the fixed formulas tie yourself up. The combination of the "dot" formed by the square characters and the geometric "dot" also has new ideas.
