Design Details

Unique Properties
This poster is a fusion of modern design and ancient Chinese painting on the expression of flat graphics, hoping to show the exploration of the artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting through modern bitmap design.
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from the blank processing in Chinese painting. I hope to show the same artistic conception through the blank transparent layer and the graphic processing of the mosaic in the design, but the design aesthetic of modern society is mixed in the middle.
Challenge
Visual creative expression
Project Duration and Location
The project started in Beijing in April 2017, was completed in Beijing in August 2017, and was exhibited at Beijing in April 2019.
