About Dragon Alley Disinn tal-Identità tal-Marka

Dragon Alley huwa disinn tal-identità tal-marka maħluq għal restorant tal-hot pot u kamra tat-tè maġenbu. L-identità hija mibnija fuq l-idea tad-dualiżmu meħud mill-mitoloġija Ċiniża. L-identità tar-restorant tesprimi r-rilaxx permezz ta' motiv ta' qsim tar-ragħad, sfond iswed tal-linka u forom tal-ittri qawwija. L-identità tal-kamra tat-tè tesprimi t-trażżin permezz ta' motiv ta' sħaba mifruqa, tonalità naturali tal-karta u forom aktar ħelwin. Aċċenti tad-deheb gradwali jgħaqqdu ż-żewġ identitajiet flimkien. L-applikazzjonijiet jinkludu kards tan-negozju, menus, posters, ippakkjar u fuħħar tal-mejda.

Production Technology: In terms of design, the software we mainly use are Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effect and Cinema 4D.

Further more, in the later material production, it uses stamping technology, gravure printing technology, spot color printing and so on, in order to present the brand vision perfectly. In addition, there needs to be special requirements for its printing materials.
Design Challenge: During the project. We have studied the various historical periods of China from ancient times to modern times. How to convert Chinese mythological information into usable font design, Graphic design and pattern design are the most important issues.

At the same time, how to balance the contradictory and fusion relationship between Dragon Alley and Dragon Alley Inner is also our main task.
Finally, how to integrate the concept of dragon throughout the brand design is also a problem we need to solve.
Research: First of all, for a new brand, we need to let it have a complete brand story and a deep brand spirit. For business purposes, we need to make consumers recognize the brand, and based on brand value, we need our designers to create meaningful brand content. We have created a complete mythological worldview for Dragon Alley and Dragon Alley Inner, so that the brand has complete story content and visual symbols from beginning to end.

Relying on this complete set of brand visual system and story system, the brand can have a unified way of communication in terms of visual perception, operation and marketing.
Inspiration: We received the project that needed to make the brand design of Dragon Alley Hot Pot and Dragon Alley Inner Tea Room for our client. Dragon Alley has main feature of lively hot pot restaurant, and on the contrary, Dragon Alley Inner corresponds to people's leisure tea time after meals. Chinese living alleys have two special attributes of street life. Based on the spatial differences between the two, the project design seeks to create a sense of contradiction and integration of balance, namely dualism. Emotionally, Dragon Alley represents release, while Dragon Alley Inner immersed in restraint.
Project Duration: The project began in 2019 in Milan, the overall visual design at the end of May 2020, and the project eventually landed in Chengdu China.
Operation Flow: The project aims to make a different experience in the Dragon Alley Restaurant by unique brand visual design.
