While researching the Yangtze River, I discovered the strong connection between the river and its people. I decided to pay homage to the river by using blue silk. Considering that both the river and the ancient tradition of silk production are apart of Chinese cultural heritage, they seemed to blend seamlessly together. As part of my color palette, I choose green to represent the lush land surrounding the Yangtze River and red, the most traditional Chinese color. I overlapped the typography to represent the relationship between China’s people and the Yangtze River, woven together as a rich tapestry of man and nature.
