Adding new projects to portfolio. Today mostly all of them are print designs for Beijing hotels. The most unusual project for me was a brochure-catalog of moon cakes, traditional pastries that Chinese eat at Mid-Autumn festival. This cakes are usually put into extensively decorated boxes and sold expensively by… well, literally, everybody, as it’s an nice way of making money, so all the hotels, big restaurants, supermarkets and even fast-food restaurants warm their hands on this business. It was pretty cool to make something for such a Chinese-Chinese thing, but to reinvent it in a way, to make it stand out among other competitor products.
So here it is – Kerry Centre mooncakes brochure
And other projects:
Hilton wine banquet (proposition)

It’s always hard to find nice modern Chinese fonts. That’s why I was so happy, when I stumbled upon a website of Beijing based typographic designer Ding Yi (丁一) and his company Redesign. I must confess it’s the cleanest, the most nicely designed Chinese website I’ve seen.
Some old houses here in Beijing have pretty beautiful number plates.
Just some random photo from this nice sunny today.

Another exhibition from ICOGRADA Beijing was about sitting in public places. I must say that most of exhibits are not just curious and good looking but pretty comfortable which I checked personally.
