The Design

About Event Visual Identity

An exhibition that takes up a popular character called Sanzo Hoshi from a completely different perspective. Therefore, designers tried a new approach to visual design. It has a three-dimensional composition with a depth that makes the painting hollow with the silhouette of a person.While appealing that Xuanzui and Sanzo Hoshi are the same people, designers made a strategy to have the silhouette remember the iconic image.
