DESIGN NAME: Endless Cycle of Life
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Visual Design
INSPIRATION: This visual design deeply draws inspiration from the event's location, ingeniously rearranging the place name and merging it with its reflection on the water's surface, showcasing exquisite aesthetics that highlight the unique structure of Chinese characters. Enhanced by the distinct ripples on the wetland's surface and complemented by the endangered global waterfowl, the Black-faced Spoonbill, the design accentuates the vibrant, Endless Cycle of Life within the wetland.
More than just a visual creation, it encapsulates a profound symbolism representing the marvelous ecology and the cultural significance of the local community within the wetland.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Chenglong Wetland, a village with a profoundly poignant tale, endured subsidence and typhoon disasters, leading to the abandonment of farming due to the intrusion of seawater. Despite these challenges, the evolving ecology transformed the deserted fields into a vibrant wetland. Every year, tens of thousands of migratory birds find sanctuary here, including rare species like the Black-faced Spoonbill, making the breathtaking sunset vistas a renowned tourist attraction.
Through the visual design of this event, local residents have revitalized their lost farming lands, embracing a new way of coexistence with the land. By merging art with the synergy between people and nature, a unique symbiosis has been created, allowing survival, culture, and ecology to harmoniously thrive in this land.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: To capture attention, circular elements were strategically employed, guiding focus towards the combination of place names in the center of the visual. This unique and intricate style embodies the area's distinct geographical features and profound significance. Such a design not only piques interest in the event but also establishes a connection between the viewers and the locale, encouraging collective concern for this place in need of revitalization.
