About Joyful Garden Tour Arrangementets merkevaredesign

Joyful Garden Tour er en merkevaredesign for et arrangement, skapt for en kinesisk nyttårsfest i hagen ved Sommerpalasset og Det gamle sommerpalasset i Beijing. Kjente bygninger fra begge hagene ble studert og forenklet til klare grafiske ikoner. Ikonene er kombinert med drakemotivet fra det kinesiske dyrekretstegnet for 2024. Blå og rosa farger uttrykker ny vitalitet hentet fra en lang historie. Plakater, brosjyrer og kort er trykt på perlepapir med preging og sølvstansing. Emblemet benytter tradisjonelt kinesisk sølvemaljehåndverk.
