Design Challenge

1.Have fish every year, that is, auspicious fish, which is a homonym of "Be rich and abundant every year". It is one of the most representative languages of traditional Chinese auspicious prayers. It means to live a rich life and have surplus wealth and food every year.
The graphic design extracts the elements of traditional Chinese "ancient coins" and ingeniously combines "fish". The coin is represented by lines, making it like a coin and a ripple in the water at the same time.
2.Daju Dali, that is auspicious tangerine is the homonym of "Da Ji Dali", which means auspicious and lucky. It is one of the most representative languages of traditional Chinese auspicious prayers. People buy Chinese New Year tangerines all the time. I hope that the whole year will be auspicious and all the best. And tangerines are all golden yellow, which is also endowed by people with the meaning of wealth.
The graphic design extracts the elements of traditional Chinese "ancient coins" and ingeniously combines "tangerines". Presented in a simple and modern form, it will bless people with an auspicious and prosperous year.
3.Fortune-bringing is one of the most representative languages of traditional Chinese auspicious blessings. In ancient times, it was mostly used for social interaction, and now it refers to attracting wealth and making a fortune.
The graphic design extracts the elements of traditional Chinese "ancient coins" and combines with "gourd". Through the expression of lines, the two intersecting coins form a gourd shape, which is also an "8" shape. The gourd means to gather wealth, "8" is homophonic "fa", which means make fortune, and the meaning of making a fortune fits the theme.
