RESEARCH & ANALYZE

My design Traditional Chinese wedding as the theme, making a pair of nuptial cups(), with patterns of dragon and phoenix. Red color for the background and gold for the patterns

The concept Chinese wedding is one of the events which contains joyful mood very strongly. The idea of artwork comes from the Chinese traditional legend The Dragon and The Phoenix(). The dragon on right side represents and the phoenix on the left side represents, symbolizing fortune and permanent love to couples. It also mean yin and yang(), representing man and woman. Red and gold are the main element of tradition Chinese arts. Red is meant to love, and red is also representing joyful in tradition Chinese. Gold is meant to permanent.

Finalize Wine bottle should be the most suitable in representing joyful. However, almost all the wine bottles are made in glass, which is hard to manufacture cups. On the other hand water bottles have a pure meaning, which could be related to pure of love, so plastic made water bottle is a secondary replacement of wine bottle.
