把名字留在海报上

For a fictional community exhibition, freelance designer Luis creates a poster using photographs of an abandoned garden. The images were taken by several neighbours during months of clearing paths and planting flowers. Luis arranges them beautifully, adds a title, and places his own name in a small line at the bottom as the designer.

在一场虚构的社区展览中，自由设计师路易斯用一处荒废花园的照片制作海报。照片由几位邻居在数月清理小路、种花的过程中拍摄。他把图片编排得很漂亮，加上标题，并在底部用一行小字署上自己的设计师姓名。

At the planning meeting, Jo asks where the photographers' names will appear. Luis explains that there is not enough space to list everyone without making the poster crowded. His concern is reasonable, but the room becomes quiet. The poster tells a collective story while making only one person's contribution easy to identify.

筹备会上，乔问摄影者的名字会放在哪里。路易斯解释，若列出每个人，海报会显得拥挤，空间不够。他的顾虑有道理，房间却安静下来。海报讲的是集体的故事，但只有一个人的贡献容易被辨认。

A neighbour who took none of the photographs then mentions the people who carried soil, translated invitations, or made tea during cold mornings. Should they be named too? What begins as a question about photo credits becomes a wider discussion of which kinds of work become visible when a project is presented to an audience.

一位没有拍过照片的邻居接着提到搬土、翻译邀请函，以及寒冷清晨为大家泡茶的人。他们也该署名吗？原本关于摄影署名的问题，变成了更广泛的讨论：项目面向观众展示时，哪些劳动会被看见？

Luis initially hears the questions as criticism of his design. After listening, he realises that nobody is denying the time he spent on it. The problem is not that his name appears, but that the existing layout suggests a much narrower account of how the exhibition came into being. He asks the group to help rewrite the credit line.

路易斯起初觉得这些问题是在批评他的设计。听过之后，他意识到没有人否认他的投入。问题并非他的名字出现了，而是现有版式暗示了一个过于狭窄的展览形成过程。他请大家一起重写署名说明。

They choose a short collective credit on the poster, followed by a clear link to a full contributor page. Individual photographs in the exhibition carry the photographers' names where permission has been given. The contributor page describes different roles and lets participants correct omissions. It is not a perfect measure of effort, but it is easier to question and improve.

他们决定在海报上写简短的集体署名，并附上通向完整贡献者页面的清晰链接。展览中的单张照片，在获得同意后标注摄影者姓名。贡献者页面说明不同角色，并允许参与者补正遗漏。它无法完美衡量付出，但更便于提出问题和改进。

Luis keeps a copy of both versions in his portfolio. The first shows his visual choices; the second reminds him that design also distributes attention. A clean layout can clarify a message, yet it can also hide the relationships that made the message possible. That, he decides, is part of the design problem too.

路易斯把两个版本都留在作品集中。第一版展示视觉选择，第二版提醒他：设计也在分配注意力。简洁的版式能让信息更清楚，也可能隐藏使信息得以形成的人际协作。他认为，这同样属于设计需要解决的问题。

The issue is not that the name appears, but that other roles are invisible.

问题不是这个名字出现了，而是其他角色看不见。

The page looks simple, yet it contains several layers of information.

页面看起来简单，却包含好几层信息。
