The poster was designed to commemorate Alan Chan Design Company for being awarded as one of the Ten Best Design Firms in the world in 1996 by the New York Graphis Annual. Alan Chan Design Company was the only Asian design company that received such honor.
The design combines the number “one” in both Chinese and Arabian to form the Chinese character of ten -- “ 十.” With “ 一” in traditional Chinese calligraphy and “ 1 ” being represented by a vertically placed brush, the design accentuates the One Out of Ten achievement of Alan Chan Design Company.
