About Chinese Mooncake 선물 상자 패키지

중국 월병(Chinese Mooncake)은 중추절에 나누는 월병을 위해 디자인된 선물 상자입니다. 외함은 중국 전통 찬합의 형태를 따랐습니다. 자수 기법을 연상시키는 일러스트레이션은 목조 건축과 무희들을 포함한 당나라 연회의 모습을 조감도 형식으로 담아냈습니다. 일러스트레이션의 각 부분은 다이커팅으로 분리한 뒤 다시 결합하여, 패키지에 깊이감과 층위감을 부여합니다. 내함에는 예상우의무(霓裳羽衣舞)의 춤사위를 표현하고, 자색과 죽청색 등 중국 전통 색채를 조화롭게 적용했습니다.

Production Technology: The gift box is based on an aerial layout and embroidery drawing that represents a Tang Dynasty banquet. Each part of the illustration is separated by die-cutting, and the final packaging is more layered.
Design Challenge: The difficulty of this design is that there are few records about the neon clothes and feather dance, and it is more difficult to restore the architecture, costumes, makeup, musical instruments, and dance poses. Even so, we checked many documents, which greatly restored the scene at that time.
Research: The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival celebrated in China. It gained widespread popularity in the Tang Dynasty and became a nationwide holiday. According to legend, the Tang Emperor Xuan Zong dreamt he had traveled to the Palace of the Moon, where he saw celestial women, clothed in feathers and rosy clouds dancing in the sky. After the Emperor awoke, his favourite concubine Yang Guifei, renowned as one of the four most beautiful women in Chinese history, choreographed and performed the famous dance, 'Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat,'according to the Emperor's recollection.
Inspiration: In order to reproduce the magnificent scenery of the Tang Dynasty palace, this design was created after consultig many historical documents, viewing images of murals at Dunhuang, and visiting ancient buildings from the Tang Dynasty to use these aspects as the basis for creating a design to restore the Tang Dynasty's historical prosperity.
Project Duration: The project started in Tianjin in July 2020, completed in Tianjin in August 2020, and exhibited in Tianjin in September 2020.
Operation Flow: The outer box as a whole is a traditional Chinese food box style, using a three-dimensional paper sculpture to separate the characters and scenes through die cutting, and then collage them into a complete illustration, which increases the sense of hierarchy and space of the packaging. The inner box combines the opening with the packaging illustration. The entire tongue part adopts the style of traditional Chinese typography, forming a natural division. When the consumer opens the box, a complete illustration pops up in front of them.
