Production Technology
The 2023 Beijing 751 International Design Week showcased a unique interactive circular invitation that dynamically unveils event specifics upon rotation, promoting hands-on interaction. This tactile feature, crafted using precision die-cutting techniques and durable materials, reinforces the festival's integration of simplicity, functionality, and user-oriented design principles. It serves as a prime example of our methodology, aimed at crafting accessible and compelling design encounters that align with the festival's ethos of innovation.
Design Challenge
The primary challenge during the Beijing 751 International Design Week revolved around crafting a visual identity that resonated with both the general public and professional designers. Striking a delicate balance between broad appeal and professional depth necessitated a nuanced approach to aesthetics and thematic representation. We faced the pressure of tight deadlines, requiring rapid yet thoughtful design refinements. Internally, we carefully weighed historical and social contexts to ensure our designs paid homage to cultural heritage while maintaining contemporary relevance. Externally, we negotiated production capabilities and leveraged technological advancements to actualize our vision within the practical constraints of available resources. Overcoming these hurdles entailed a collaborative, iterative process that demanded considerable time and creative energy.
Project Duration
The project was exhibited in Beijing from September 27, 2023, to October 6, 2023.
Research
For the 2023 Beijing 751 International Design Week, our research was methodologically diverse and aimed at seamlessly integrating design with cultural heritage. Our objective was to delve into the role of design as a bridge between the past and the present. Employing a combination of historical analysis and contemporary design trends, we conducted archival research, case studies, and design prototyping. Tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop were instrumental in visualizing our findings. Collaborating with designers, cultural experts, and the community provided us with a comprehensive perspective. The results underscored a strong inclination towards designs that articulate cultural narratives, leading us to adopt a theme inspired by gravity. These insights significantly influenced the festival's approach, highlighting the pivotal role of design in the preservation of societal heritage and urging businesses to recognize the historical significance of design.
Inspiration
The theme for the Beijing 751 International Design Festival, inspired by gravity, symbolizes the pull of heritage and the push towards innovation. Research in color theory and geometric symbolism shaped a visual identity that bridges design's past and future. This concept aims to engage and reflect on the enduring impact of culture on design evolution, encapsulating the cyclical nature of innovation within a timeless narrative.
