About Journey To Lijiang Sèrie d'Il·lustracions

Viatge a Lijiang és una sèrie d'il·lustracions sobre la ciutat de Lijiang, a la Xina. Les il·lustracions utilitzen la imatge d'un gat de teula, conegut com a Wa Mao, com a element visual principal. Wa Mao és un símbol cultural local i actua com a guia pels paisatges naturals i les tradicions ètniques de Lijiang. Els símbols culturals tradicionals s'abstreuen i es redibuixen amb un estil visual modern. La sèrie s'ha creat amb programari de disseny vectorial i s'ha produït amb tecnologia d'impressió d'alt nivell. L'objectiu és donar suport a la conscienciació i la protecció de la cultura local.
