The Design
About Henan Illustration Serija ilustracija
Henan ilustracija je serija od pet ilustracija zasnovana na tradicionalnim novogodišnjim slikama izrađenim tehnikom drvoreza iz grada Zhuxian u provinciji Henan, Kina. Serija na nov način tumači klasične figure sa ovih grafika, koristeći ravan, rukom crtan stil prilagođen mlađoj publici. Linije likova nacrtane su na tablet uređaju uz pomoć grafičke table, dok su ivice i boje dovršeni u softveru za obradu slika. Intenzivno zasićeni žuti i plavi tonovi stvaraju kontrast, a svaka figura nosi drugačiji izraz lica. Cilj je oživljavanje interesovanja javnosti za ovu narodnu umetnost koja polako iščezava.
