Production Technology
The advertising screen is easy to understand. It comes from the empathy of specific things and the complete artistic presentation, that is, the deconstruction and reorganization of familiar things. Humans are visual animals, and different colors and lines have different emotions and expressions. The pictures refer to a large number of ancient books from the East and the West, such as Chinese bamboo slips, thread-bound books, Western parchment scrolls, hardcover books, etc. It is so re-organized into easy-to-understand visual symbols. Viewers can easily feel the historical emotions from the graphics and explore the story behind the graphics.
Design Challenge
The advertising design is in line with the spirit and image of the program, with books as the main body of the design. Classics is not only the external image of the entire program, but also an important carrier of knowledge inheritance. For human beings, it has a unified value cognition and is universal. In the design itself, deconstruction and graphic expression are used to deal with books, so that people with different cultural backgrounds can quickly understand the meaning, understand Chinese books through graphics, and understand the Chinese stories and oriental spirit behind the books.
Project Duration
The project started in 2022 in China, and is still promoted and distributed.
Operation Flow
In the processing of the classics, the ancient books of the East and the West are referenced, and the books of different materials and binding methods are visually processed. In the presentation of the text, you can see the word dictionary of Chinese characters from the lines of the book; you can also see The Classics in English. People with different cultural backgrounds can see different worlds, but nonetheless feel the same design concept, with the text arousing people's spiritual resonance.
Research
In the specific design, a large number of ancient books from the East and the West are referenced, such as Chinese bamboo slips, thread-bound books, Western sheepskin scrolls, hardcover books, etc. To the word dictionary in Chinese characters, you can also see The Classics in English. People with different cultural backgrounds can read different stories. For example, people who are familiar with Chinese characters can find the word dictionary hidden in book symbols.
Inspiration
