About Intangible Heritage Serija ilustracij

Nesnovna dediščina je serija treh ilustracij o nesnovni kulturni dediščini Kitajske. Ilustracije predstavljajo umetnost igranja na pipo, seladon iz Longquana in festival lampijonov v Zigongu. Vsaka podoba je narisana z vektorsko oblikovalsko programsko opremo, zato fini detajli ostanejo ostri tudi pri velikih tiskanih formatih. Natisnjeni listi merijo 800 krat 800 milimetrov. Tradicionalne teme so prevedene v sodoben vizualni jezik za uporabo na spletu, v tiskanih medijih, knjigah in fotoalbumih. Namen je pomagati javnosti spoznati te tradicije.
