RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In Chinese philosophy, “yin and yang” describes two seemingly opposite or contrary forces may be interconnected, interdependent and complementary. It exactly matches the abstract concept of love and what this series of illustrations want to express.
CHALLENGE: It is the challenge to visualize the abstract concept of "yin and yang", apart from using the "taichi symbol". For this problem, the illustration avoids limited in a circle forms. Besides, applying the most important key of "yin and yang" is balance and contrast in the layout.
