| DESIGN NAME: Journalism History Forum PRIMARY FUNCTION: Posters Series INSPIRATION: The inspiration comes from two communication tools. One is Chinese characters. The amplification of Chinese characters in 12 posters similar to the form of a political advertisement called "big character poster" in China before. Another inspiration is from "paper". As early as 800 AD, Chinese people began to use various materials of fibers to make paper. History, reality, and future are interconnected. In digital age, using ancient Chinese characters and traditional paper materials, and through modern free format design is a symbolic exploration of the truth of history. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This poster series is about academic seminar related to Chinese journalism history. In posters, the Chinese character titles of each sub forum are enlarged to the maximum to occupy the main layout, just like the crude expression of the "big character poster" in the past China. The design also amplifies and exposes the texture and physical properties of different paper edges. This metaphor represents the paradigm shift in the relationship between the "center" and "edges" in the changing times. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The key visual poster had been showed outside the venue building, while 12 sub forum posters had been displayed at different forum locations, which served as good guides for the content and venue of the event. Moreover, through the dissemination and display of a series of posters in the online community, the content and time of the seminar were well promoted, and it received widespread interest and evaluation from relevant personnel. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was lunched in November 2021 in Shanghai. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The projects has been mainly made by Adobe's softwares, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: There are 12 posters in the series. Each poster's size is width 60mm x height 85mm. TAGS: Posters, Typography, Graphic design RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project is a practical research on Chinese character design in modern contexts. Chinese characters and paper, two cultural media originating from ancient China, were once the most important carriers of thought in the world. However, since modern times, western technology and civilization have become the dominant mainstream of world culture today. In the project, using ancient Chinese characters and traditional "paper" forms to design and arrange through western modern style is a symbolic exploration of the historical and contemporary truth issues brought about by cultural communication. CHALLENGE: In fact, one of the challenges faced by this project is how to handle typesetting with larger Chinese characters. The shape of each Chinese character is very complex, and they stand out as a picture. The important goal of the project is to let those Chinese character shapes from ancient culture reemit a sense of modernity in the design.
