About Arts Fund 視覺識別

Arts Fund 係一套為角色設計人才培訓計劃而創作嘅視覺識別系統。設計將 CUZ 字母同中國戲曲嘅傳統紋樣結合，將中國元素同拉丁字母並置，表達東西方文化交流。整體框架跟隨瑞士國際主義風格，再以 CUZ 字體造型打破呢個框架，形成一種既具功能性又帶後現代感嘅形式。呢套系統應用於海報、宣傳單張、邀請函同橫額之上，旨在向年輕一代觀眾分享中國戲曲文化。

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: The common specifications of posters are A1, A2, A3, etc. The size depends on the need, and can be made of paper, plastic, airbrush and other materials. Flyers are smaller in size, usually A4 or smaller, and are usually made of paper, which can be printed, photographed, airbrushed and other treatments.

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.
Design Challenge: The use of post-modern design forms of traditional culture in the innovation, forming a very unique visual style, so that it is clearly differentiated from other activities of the main visual, appear more unique and artistic, so as to produce a unique visual charm, but also to better promote the brand.
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.
Project Duration: The project started in Hangzhou in February 2023 and will end in October 2023.
