About Intangible Heritage Illustratiounsserie

Intangible Heritage ass eng Serie vun dräi Illustratiounen iwwer dat immateriellt Kulturierwe vu China. D'Illustratioune presentéieren d'Pipa-Konscht, de Longquen-Seladon an de Zigong-Lanternefest. All Bild ass mat Vektor-Design-Software gezeechent, sou datt fein Detailer och bei grousse Dréckformater schaarf bleiwen. Déi gedréckte Blieder moossen 800 op 800 Millimeter. Traditionell Sujete ginn an eng modern visuell Sprooch iwwersat fir online, an de Printmedien, a Bicher an a Fotoalben ze benotzen. D'Zil ass, der Ëffentlechkeet ze hëllefen, dës Traditiounen kennenzeléieren.
