Therefore, michelia alba, the city flower of Dongguan, has been selected as the symbol of Dongguan culture for project design.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Humanistic feelings have always been a missing part in gift boxes on the market but this gift box design for freshmen has combined the local culture and the Dongguan’s feelings for those freshmen. We have prepared brochures with stories on Dongguan and plants with scents of Dongguan so as to convey the real scents of Dongguan via real objects, and to bridge the feelings between freshmen and the university in Dongguan.
CHALLENGE: We have creatively added two local atlases into the gift box. The first one is Culture of Dongguan, which integrates the graphics, the texts and the map positioning of Dongguan Art Museum, Dongguan Museum and other cultural aggregation sites into one book.
