The Design

About Buddha Said Serie de ilustraciones

Buddha Said es una serie de ilustraciones basada en los frescos de Dunhuang. Para la serie se seleccionaron y redibujaron cinco relatos clásicos presentes en los frescos. Los personajes de cada historia se depuran y se combinan con los escenarios en un estilo gráfico moderno. Los colores extraídos de los murales de Dunhuang confieren a las imágenes una atmósfera grandiosa y misteriosa. Las ilustraciones se realizaron con software de diseño vectorial y se imprimieron en alta resolución a 800 por 800 milímetros. El objetivo es unir la tradición con el diseño contemporáneo y dar a conocer estas historias murales a un público más amplio.

Design Challenge: The difficulty lies in accurately grasping the characteristics of Dunhuang frescoes, combining modern aesthetics with traditional frescoes, and combining computer technology with traditional crafts to shape modern aesthetic feeling.
Research: This design selects the five most classic stories in Dunhuang frescoes for illustration design. First, the characters in the story are refined and skillfully combined.
