DESIGN NAME: Money Talks
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Illustration
INSPIRATION: The design concept of Money Talks is derived from some things that people have experienced and seen before and more and more movies and TV series adapted from real events. Based on these and collected data, the design team sort out the general direction through investigation and propose myself. Finally, after discussing and revising with team members, formally confirm the visual sense of officialdom. The Money Talks is just like the name, it is to surface the ugliness and darkness in the officialdom.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The officialdom is a pool of deep water, dirty, chaotic and muddy, just like hundreds of ghosts that haunt at night. They are being an official, not seeking benefits for the people, but pursuing fame and fortune. This is a bad social atmosphere. There are unspoken rules everywhere. The ugly state of pursuit of these rights is the source of depraved social psychology. Therefore, the design team think that it is the best to use hundreds of ghosts to embody these twisted and terrifying situation.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This series received a number of positive opinions and were highly acclaimed on many fields. Moreover, numerous people had been touched and they had thought these works will not be forgotten ever.
