Chongqing
Chongqing is a poster series about the city of Chongqing, China. The design combines famous landmarks with hot pot ingredients. Hongya Cave, the Chongqing Grand Theatre and the Yangtze River Ropeway are merged with hot pot bases. A panda is shown bathing in a hot pot, holding bamboo shoots and green onions, which adds a light and humorous tone. The posters are produced by inkjet printing on coated paper. The design is intended for airports and high speed rail stations, where travellers can find destination ideas. The same patterns can also be printed on paper bags.
