The Design

About China In The Classics Propagační grafický design

Čína v klasice je propagační grafický design vytvořený pro televizní pořad o starověkých čínských klasických dílech. Hlavním motivem designu jsou knihy. Design odkazuje na starověké knihy Východu i Západu, včetně čínských bambusových destiček, knih vázaných nití, pergamenových svitků a knih s pevnou vazbou. Tyto formy jsou dekonstruovány a znovu uspořádány do jednoduchých vizuálních symbolů. Názvy deseti klasických děl jsou zkombinovány s čínskou kaligrafií. Dárková krabička je vyrobena ze speciálního papíru s výraznou texturou. Design pomáhá lidem z různých kulturních prostředí porozumět čínským knihám a příběhům.

It comes from the empathy of specific things and the complete artistic presentation, that is, the deconstruction and reorganization of familiar things. Humans are visual animals, and different colors and lines have different emotions and expressions. The pictures refer to a large number of ancient books from the East and the West, such as Chinese bamboo slips, thread-bound books, Western parchment scrolls, hardcover books, etc. It is so re-organized into easy-to-understand visual symbols. Viewers can easily feel the historical emotions from the graphics and explore the story behind the graphics.
