About Niulanshan Primary Function: Edari Alkoholikoen Botilentzako Ontziratzea

Niulanshan Idi Urterako kaleratutako edari alkoholiko txinatar baten marka baten edizio mugatuko ontziratze-diseinua da. Botila beiraz eginda dago eta kutxa egurrez. Diseinuak errealismoa saihesten du eta forma moderno eta abstraktu bat erabiltzen du. Botilaren gorputzean ebakitako marra zuzen batek idi baten gorputz gogorra eta izaera amore ematen ez duena iradokitzen ditu. Marka-ikurrak Niu karaktere kaligrafikoa besterik ez du gordetzen, idia esan nahi duena. Azken pintzelkada luzatu egiten da Niu amaieraraino esaldi txinatarra iradokitzeko, helburuak lortzeko nahia adieraziz. Asmoa kontsumitzaile gazteak erakartzea da.

Chinese have lots of love for Zodiac. NiuLanShan is one of China's leading liquor brands. As its name suggests, the Year of the Ox 2021 is a special year for NiuLanShan. Focused on escaping from old-fashioned realism, the design is more modern and abstract. The sliced straight line of the body conveys a tough carcass and the uncompromising spirit of an Ox.

Design Challenge
In mid 2020, Niulanshan has begun planning the launch of Year of the Ox limited edition, not only the Ox Year carries weight to the brand, but also with NIU meaning "Ox", the brand is originated from a golden bull that brings welfare in ancient stories. Niulanshan hopes to ditch realism used in past Zodiac limited editions, aiming to attract young consumers with a contemporary abstract design.
Research
Using 12 as a cycle, each lunar year is represented by an animal, and 2021 is the year of the ox. The 12 zodiac signs and the 24 solar terms constituted an important tool for ancient Chinese to calculate time, predict the weather, and harvest mulberry. Chinese has much love and imagination for the zodiac, and Chinese liquor brands launch limited editions targeting different zodiacs yearly.
Inspiration
We focused on escaping from old-fashioned realism, using a more modern abstract design. The blade-sliced straight line of the bottle body conveys the tough carcass and the uncompromising character of an Ox.
