Los Angeles Chinatown Rebrand
In this course, we select a Los Angeles organization for a visual system redesign. My choice is LA Chinatown, the nation's oldest. My new system honors its cultural legacy, blending historical significance with modern flair to revitalize the plaza.
Learning Outcomes:
My main challenge was harmonizing two language systems in the logo design. By integrating the shape of Chinese characters and Chinatown's iconic structure, I ensured readability for both languages. Balancing vibrant traditional Chinese colors in posters was also tricky; I aimed for harmony through varied color proportions.
