PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This scheme needs to present the details of Chinese ink painting, so in the printing and exhibition of ink-jet painting, there is a high demand for production and paper, and it needs to reflect the level of ink absorption and natural ink-jet. Printing materials, including LCD screen background color, need to show pure ivory white to reflect the gentle oriental charm and detail characteristics of the design. The little Notbook uses the red rope binding way to interpret the traditional Chinese color.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Because the composition of ink points is relatively free, the picture is suitable for various sizes and can be flexibly applied in 2D plane and 3D space.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Before making the vision and exhibition structure plan, it is necessary to analyze the space location, scale, internal and external visiting lines of the booth reasonably, to study people's feeling of exhibition vision from different angles and positions, and to consider the structure and color of adjacent booths.
CHALLENGE: Traditional Chinese ink paintings as visual image for the book exhibition are too elegant. Visual design for exhibition should have more strong colors, symbols or graphics to attract attention of the audiences. In order to solve this problem, designers picked up the ink points from paintings of Mr. Liang as the abstract elements, and strengthened the red and yellow saturation, and used with ink painting together.
