The Design

About New Fashion of Chinese Elements Plakat

Nova moda kitajskih elementov je serija plakatov, ki temelji na tradicionalnih kitajskih umetnostih in obrti. Zasnova črpa vzorce iz oblačil, svile in keramike, jih nato razstavi in preoblikuje v sodobno grafiko. Tradicionalni vzorci nosijo pomenske vsebine sreče in izražajo želje po boljšem življenju. Za ponovno upodobitev motivov za sodobne gledalce so uporabljena digitalna oblikovalska orodja. Vsak plakat meri 700 krat 1000 milimetrov. Cilj je ohraniti vidnost kulturne dediščine in vnesti tradicionalne obrtniške vzorce v sodobno življenje.
