About Arts Fund ビジュアルアイデンティティ

Arts Fundは、キャラクターデザイン分野の人材育成プログラムのために制作されたビジュアルアイデンティティシステムである。デザインは「CUZ」の文字と中国伝統演劇（京劇などの戯曲）のモチーフを組み合わせている。中国的な要素をラテン文字と併置することで、東洋と西洋の文化交流を表現している。全体の骨格はスイス・インターナショナルスタイルに則りつつ、CUZのレターフォームによってその秩序を破り、機能的でありながらポストモダン的な造形を生み出している。本システムはポスター、フライヤー、招待状、バナーへと展開されている。その目的は、中国の戯曲文化をより若い世代の観客と分かち合うことにある。

Unique Properties: This project is a visual system for the Communication University of Zhejiang for the China Arts Foundation's Character Design Talent Training Programme, combining CUZ with the traditional motifs of Chinese opera and combining Chinese elements with Latin letters to express the cultural exchange between East and West. The overall visual framework is built around a Swiss internationalist style, which is broken up by CUZ, making the design both functional and post-modern in its visual form.
Dimensions & Packaging: The common specifications of posters are A1, A2, A3, etc. The size depends on the need, and can be made of paper, plastic, airbrush and other materials. Flyers are smaller in size, usually A4 or smaller, and are usually made of paper, which can be printed, photographed, airbrushed and other treatments.

Production Technology: The overall visual framework is built around a Swiss internationalist style through typography that is both functional and post-modern in form. The user can clearly identify the message of the poster from the text and experience the opera from the text and the operatic images.
