The Design

About Niulanshan Primary Function: Pambalot ng Bote ng Alak

Ang Niulanshan ay isang limited edition na disenyo ng pambalot para sa isang Chinese liquor brand, inilabas para sa Taon ng Kalabaw. Ang bote ay gawa sa salamin at ang kahon ay gawa sa kahoy. Iniiwasan ng disenyo ang realismo at gumagamit ng moderno at abstract na anyo. Ang isang parang-nahiwa-ng-talim na tuwid na linya sa katawan ng bote ay nagpapahiwatig ng matipuno at hindi-sumusukong katangian ng kalabaw. Sa brand mark ay pinananatili lamang ang kaligrapikong karakter na Niu, na nangangahulugang kalabaw. Ang huling hagod ay pinahaba upang ipahiwatig ang Chinese na pariralang Niu hanggang sa huli, isang hangaring maabot ang mga layunin. Ang layunin ay makaakit ng mga batang mamimili.

Design Challenge
In mid 2020, Niulanshan has begun planning the launch of Year of the Ox limited edition, not only the Ox Year carries weight to the brand, but also with NIU meaning "Ox", the brand is originated from a golden bull that brings welfare in ancient stories. Niulanshan hopes to ditch realism used in past Zodiac limited editions, aiming to attract young consumers with a contemporary abstract design.
Research
Using 12 as a cycle, each lunar year is represented by an animal, and 2021 is the year of the ox. The 12 zodiac signs and the 24 solar terms constituted an important tool for ancient Chinese to calculate time, predict the weather, and harvest mulberry. Chinese has much love and imagination for the zodiac, and Chinese liquor brands launch limited editions targeting different zodiacs yearly.
