❥TASK

For the special task, Jaya Grocer offered a competition for Taylor's students to design an Angpao which was based on the theme of togetherness. It was a group project thus I was grouped with Denise Anjali and Sarah Li on this project. Since we initially planned to submit more than one submission to increase the odds of us winning, so we decided to split the task so each of us digitized 2-3 angpaos, but still worked together on the sketches and the main ideas.

Before we proceeded with the Angpao design, we did some research on Angpao designs for references and inspiration. Since I was also unfamiliar with chinese characters and how they are written, I did some research on those that are often found on Ang paos as well as gotten some assistance from Denise and Sarah.

Fig 1.1 Rabbit Angpaos

For my first and second Angpao, I implemented a Fu that meant blessing (福), which was often used in Angpaos. For the second design, I implemented that Fu (福) to be designed to fit in a round circular shape to portray that sense of "togetherness" with rabbits surrounding the Fu.
