The Design
About Plants Trade Konsepboek En Plakkaat
PLANTS TRADE is 'n reeks van 'n innoverende en artistieke vorm van botaniese eksemplare wat ontwikkel is om 'n beter verhouding tussen mens en natuur te bou, eerder as opvoedkundige materiaal. Die Plants Trade Concept Book is voorberei om u te help om hierdie kreatiewe produk te verstaan. Die boek, wat in presies dieselfde grootte as die produk ontwerp is, bevat nie net natuurfoto's nie, maar unieke grafieke wat deur die natuur se wysheid geïnspireer is. Meer interessant is dat die grafika noukeurig deur die boekdruk gedruk is, sodat elke prentjie in kleur of tekstuur verskil, net soos natuurlike plante.

- Design Challenge

- Inspiration
- Plants Trade is a series of an innovative and artistic form of botanical specimens, not like the conventional ones that are merely used as educational material. The product was born to build a better relationship between humans and nature. The Concept Book was made to help people understand this creative product.
