The Design

About Buddha Said Série de Ilustrações

Buda Disse é uma série de ilustrações baseada nos afrescos de Dunhuang. Cinco histórias clássicas dos afrescos foram selecionadas e redesenhadas para a série. As personagens de cada história são depuradas e combinadas com os cenários num estilo gráfico moderno. As cores extraídas dos murais de Dunhuang conferem às imagens uma atmosfera grandiosa e misteriosa. As ilustrações foram criadas com software de design vetorial e impressas em alta resolução no formato de 800 por 800 milímetros. O objetivo é unir a tradição ao design moderno e tornar estas histórias murais conhecidas por um público mais amplo.

Design Challenge: The difficulty lies in accurately grasping the characteristics of Dunhuang frescoes, combining modern aesthetics with traditional frescoes, and combining computer technology with traditional crafts to shape modern aesthetic feeling.
Research: This design selects the five most classic stories in Dunhuang frescoes for illustration design. First, the characters in the story are refined and skillfully combined. Then, the colors matched with the charm of Dunhuang are used to highlight the magnificent and mysterious atmosphere of the whole illustration.
