About Aesthetics and Chinese Characters

Aesthetics and Chinese is a series of posters based on the design of Chinese characters. The structure of each character is built from its radical strokes, which are presented in rotating and gradual arrangements. The series turns written text into visual symbols and uses font design as a contemporary form of expression. Posters, invitation cards and a book were printed to highlight the character forms. The posters measure 70 by 100 centimetres. The work presents Chinese language and characters as a lasting cultural asset of Oriental culture.

Operation Flow: The design of the structure of the Chinese character font using the strokes of the font line requires a lot of time and testing.
Research: Chinese and Chinese characters are important assets for the long-term and continuous development of oriental culture. The work takes Chinese character design as the main design core, and reproduces this cross-border oriental style design energy in contemporary art and literature trends, and actively displays Chinese and Chinese character books. The art and culture are rich in design capacity.
Inspiration: 2019 Creative Poster Design Exhibition: A Crossover between Aesthetics and Chinese Characters” will employ “the beauty of Chinese language and characters” as the design elements to transform texts into visual symbols; “innovation” as the central idea, and font design as a brand new embodiment approach, through the design of posters, to probe the future possibilities which are in line with the beauty of "crossover", "aesthetics" and "Chinese characters”.
