Production Technology
The series of illustrations was created using Photoshop and Procreate software. Procreate software is primarily responsible for drafting and creating line drawings, while Photoshop is mainly used for coloring. The full utilization of the characteristics of both software programs results in beautifully detailed illustrations.
Design Challenge
The primary creative hurdle in the design process arises from cultural transformation. It involves integrating traditional Jiangxi local culture with modern illustration technology to ensure that the resulting form possesses both contemporary aesthetics and cultural resonance. Maintaining a balance between cultural preservation and innovation is crucial, necessitating consideration of how to preserve the original essence of the work while infusing it with freshness and distinctiveness.
Research
The study investigates how modern illustration techniques can enhance appreciation for Jiangxi's local culture and advocate for its preservation. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it explores the fusion of traditional Jiangxi culture with contemporary illustration practices, identifies resonant themes, and examines the potential of illustrations in promoting local culture.
Inspiration
The design inspiration draws from Jiangxi's rich cultural tapestry, blending tradition with modernity to create captivating illustrations. Each stroke on the digital canvas serves as a portal to Jiangxi's landscapes, folklore, and vibrant traditions, bridging the gap between past and present. Age-old narratives are reimagined to breathe new life into Jiangxi's heritage, sparking curiosity and excitement, attracting more people to join the team of Jiangxi cultural heritage.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2022 in Jiangxi, China, was completed in June 2023 in Liaoning, China, and was exhibited at the undergraduate graduation design exhibition of Northeastern University in China in June 2023.
Operation Flow
