About Trip of Tea Ilustrace

Trip of Tea je dvojice ilustrací vytvořených pro čínskou čajovou společnost. Obě díla jsou inspirována dvěma historickými trasami přepravy čaje – Čajovou cestou deseti tisíc mil a Námořní hedvábnou stezkou. Kůň převzatý z loga klienta se na každé trase objevuje jako posel. Podoba každého koně a vzor na jeho sedle se mění tak, aby odrážely charakteristické rysy cílového města či regionu. Součástí jsou také scény pití čaje z různých zemí. Ilustrace jsou ručně kresleny na tabletu a rozvíjejí se jako svitek složený z navazujících dílů, který se hodí pro plakáty, pohlednice a další využití.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties
These two works are illustration designs created for the famous Chinese tea company "Bama Tea". We combined the most conspicuous horse element in the client's company logo and applied it to the illustration, using it as the main body and the theme of "Revisiting the Road to Tea", with the horse element running through it. It is worth noting that different images of horses and saddles vary, combining different characteristics of tourist destinations and drawing in depth different countries and regions. The entire picture is unfolded in a tiled form to facilitate subsequent graphic promotion and use.
Dimensions & Packaging
The size displayed as a separate illustration work is 3.84m*0.76m using giclee technology. Commercial applications vary in size depending on the type.

Production Technology
The illustrations are created on photoshop using a hand-drawn tablet. This long reel accommodates most size applications. These three parts can be used alone or in conjunction with other derivatives for subsequent commercial applications, such as postcards, posters and other creative works.
Design Challenge
The difficulty in creating this illustration lies in the combination of tea cultures from different countries. It is necessary to avoid cluttering the picture and maintain a unified style without losing its characteristics.
Research
Reference is made to the tea culture of different countries and regions in history, and the entrepreneurial background of the client company is integrated with it. A large number of tea drinking scenes from different countries are integrated into the illustrations to show the tea culture of different countries, and are connected by horses in different postures. The illustrations are colorful and harmonious.
Inspiration
The two illustrations are inspired by the two tea transportation routes in Chinese history, namely the "Ten Thousand Miles Tea Road" and the "Maritime Silk Road", using horses as messengers throughout the route of the Ten Thousand Miles Tea Road.
Project Duration
The project started in Beijing in August 2022 and was completed in Beijing in December 2022
