Yuchuan Ming
This project is a series of Blue-and-white tin cans for tea packaging. The main decorations on the sides are mountain and cloud figures resembling the style of Chinese ink wash landscape paintings. By combining traditional patterns with modern graphic elements, abstract lines and geometric shapes are blended into traditional art styles, providing refreshing features for the cans. The tea names in traditional Chinese Xiaozhuan calligraphy are made into embossed seals on top of the lid handles. They are the highlights which make the cans more like real artworks in some way.
