RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project is very different from ordinary beer packaging. It is not only a commodity, but also more important to build urban culture from the height of a city. This requires designers to fully explore the most representative elements of the city, from landmark buildings to cultural characteristics, urban accumulation, future development, etc., which requires multi-dimensional exploration and thinking. Fortunately, the designer has lived and worked in this city for more than ten years, and has deep feelings and understanding about it.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge of this project lies in trade-offs and integration. Because Wuhan is a super city in central China and has a very long history, there are many elements that can be expressed. This requires designers to make trade-offs and integrate all elements to make the elements look more like a whole. Fortunately, the designers have integrated the elements of Wuhan's three towns harmoniously through regional excavation.
