Chinese New Year

Chinese Papercut vs Cartoon Version with Tea

When I started college, I was a graphic design major, and then later changed to art education. So, I have always been interested in art in advertising. This project combines beverages, cartoons, and Chinese New Year with that graphic design style.

Sketchbook: Tea Drinks

The sketchbook assignment includes a Boba tea, teacup, and a teapot. For the main assignment, students choose one of these as part of the design.

Google Slides

The goal of this assignment is to combine a tea drink, a Chinese papercut from the Chinese zodiac, and design a cartoon version of the zodiac symbol. It also needs to have a simple background to complete the composition. The slides include images to reference, but students need to design as if it is inspired from it, not copied.
