Memory of Jiangnan
Memory of Jiangnan is a poster based on a traditional Chinese poem. The design draws on the characteristics of oracle bone inscriptions and seal script, which are simplified into clear graphic forms. Traditional elements are transformed graphically, deconstructed and recreated, with three-dimensional experiments applied to the letterforms.

The intent is to present the charm of Jiangnan culture, Chinese characters and ancient poetry to an international audience.
