About Cosmos Datong Fødevareemballagedesign
Cosmos Datong er et emballagedesign til et lokalt bagværksbrand fra den gamle by Datong i Shanxi, Kina. Fire sæt tematiske illustrationer viser byens historiske træk i forskellige perioder. Illustrationerne kombinerer lokal folkestil med den orientalske æstetik fra den nye kinesiske stil og anvender den traditionelle farvepalet fra Shanxis skyggeteater. Yderæsken er fremstillet af pap med en glat UV-belægning, varmpræget tekst og udstansede kanter. Gaveæsken rummer tre mindre æsker og er tiltænkt festlige lejligheder.
