The Design

About New Fashion of Chinese Elements Плакат

Нова мода на китайските елементи е серия от плакати, базирани на традиционните китайски изкуства и занаяти. Дизайнът извлича орнаменти от облекло, коприна и керамика, след което ги деконструира и трансформира в съвременна графика. Традиционните мотиви носят благопожелателни значения и изразяват стремеж към по-добър живот. За пресъздаването на мотивите за съвременния зрител са използвани дигитални инструменти за дизайн. Всеки плакат е с размери 700 на 1000 милиметра. Целта е да се запази видимостта на културното наследство и традиционните занаятчийски орнаменти да бъдат внесени в съвременния живот.

Participants include designers and cultural experts. The results show that the combination of traditional and modern elements can not only preserve cultural heritage, but also enhance the market appeal of products.
