About Happiness Mooncake Pakete

Happiness mooncake paketeak opari-sorta multzoa da, egitura eta grafiko desberdinak dituzten bost kutxek osatutakoa. Inbetween Creative diseinu taldeak bertako jendeak udazkeneko erdialdeko jaialdia nola ospatzen duen irudikatu zuen, estilo txinatarraren ilustrazioa erabilita. Ilustrazioak bertako eraikinak eta udazken erdialdeko jarduerak erakusten ditu, esaterako, dragoi itsasontzien lasterketa, bateria jotzen. Opari paketeen diseinu honek ez du elikagai edukiontzi gisa jarduten, baizik eta oroigarri bat ere bada Shien hiriko kultura sustatzeko.

It is important to take all the facts into consideration while designing. The design team eventually came up five different packages to fit different need and budgets.
