Hand, touching the third dimension, by interacting, pushing, backing, protecting, and supporting everyone’s achievement can be so well felt . We use this visualization to deliver a concept that the help from CFDG to the young directors is real, direct and powerful. About the details, we choose a gray color and film grain texture background as the main impression which may better relate to the event's topic.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As the director Shaohong Li introduce, we're glad to be in charge of the CFDG visual design. We see many filmfests choose an animal image as the visual symbol. And they usually use gold and black in color. So for this time, we think we may choose some elements fresh new and remarkable.
CHALLENGE: How to deliver a strong and effective concept for this project, at the same time make it better identified is the hardest part in the design progress. The result which as you see is the solution we finally provided.
