About Money Talks Munus Principale: Series Illustrationum

Textus Libri: Pecunia Loquitur est series illustrationum quae corruptionem intra ordinem magistratuum notat. Series centena spectra depingit ad cupiditatem occultam, regulas tacitas, et gloriae divitiarumque studium repraesentandum. Imagines obscurae et taetrae contra imaginem publicam positivam magistratuum ponuntur. Quaeque impressio 297 per 420 millimetra metitur et per Adobe Photoshop et Illustrator effecta est. Illustrationes gubernium honestum, diligentiam, et iustitiam postulant, dum spectatoribus experientiam artisticam praebent.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The officialdom is a pool of deep water, dirty, chaotic and muddy, just like hundreds of ghosts that haunt at night. They are being an official, not seeking benefits for the people, but pursuing fame and fortune. This is a bad social atmosphere. There are unspoken rules everywhere. The ugly state of pursuit of these rights is the source of depraved social psychology. Therefore, the design team think that it is the best to use hundreds of ghosts to embody these twisted and terrifying situation.

Design Challenge: The most significant challenge was to express our perspectives via visual communication method in illustrations. Therefore, the design team spent a great deal of time studying and finding the way to balance the aesthetic, expression and visual elements at the same time.
Research: Money Talks is a condemnation of modern officialdom and social corruption. The series of works are hideous, showing the darkness behind the positive image of officialdom via images of hundreds of ghosts. The design team wanted to tell the officials that they should make every effort to govern, act honestly, be diligent for the people, and uphold justice. The design team hope that people get spiritual encouragement, ideological enlightenment and even spurs on words and deeds while providing people with artistic enjoyment, . This is the desire for honest and justice for modern officialdom in this series.
Inspiration: The design concept of Money Talks is derived from some things that people have experienced and seen before and more and more movies and TV series adapted from real events. Based on these and collected data, the design team sort out the general direction through investigation and propose myself. Finally, after discussing and revising with team members, formally confirm the visual sense of officialdom. The Money Talks is just like the name, it is to surface the ugliness and darkness in the officialdom.
Project Duration: This project was created and completed between January and June 2020 in Ningbo, China.
Operation Flow: This series received a number of positive opinions and were highly acclaimed on many fields. Moreover, numerous people had been touched and they had thought these works will not be forgotten ever.
