Unique Properties: This project is a visual system for the Communication University of Zhejiang for the China Arts Foundation's Character Design Talent Training Programme, combining CUZ with the traditional motifs of Chinese opera and combining Chinese elements with Latin letters to express the cultural exchange between East and West. The overall visual framework is built around a Swiss internationalist style, which is broken up by CUZ, making the design both functional and post-modern in its visual form.

Production Technology: The overall visual framework is built around a Swiss internationalist style through typography that is both functional and post-modern in form. The user can clearly identify the message of the poster from the text and experience the opera from the text and the operatic images.

Research: Through a strong visual impact, the innovation of cultural redesign attracts the attention of more young people to opera, thus continuously creating a kind of propaganda for traditional culture.
Inspiration: The aim of the project is to better disseminate the traditional Chinese opera culture. We combine Chinese characters with Latin characters so that the posters can have a good communication, take Chinese opera culture out and show the world the charm of opera culture.
