Stories Hidden in Chinese Characters
Award: Yellow Pencil
Yellow Pencil / Book Design / Culture, Art & Design Books / 2021
The meanings of many Chinese characters used today have long since deviated from their original interpretation – often having an entirely different meaning in ancient times. This book cover expresses one meaning on the surface, and hides another in the design - which took around two years to complete.
