About Chadao Књига

Материјали омота и боје тврдог повеза се користе за креирање јасног начина да се представе типичне боје Пу'ер чаја. Дизајн и изглед фонта су исправно остављени празни, а укупни изглед је пун промена. Савремени језик дизајна се користи да објасни шарм кинеског Пу'ер чаја, а дизајн поглавља је једноставан и јасан. Слике и садржај су добро усклађени и занимљиви. Графика и текст су хармонично и правилно представљени.
