Poster for Alan Chan’s Seminar at the Shenzhen University - Design and Lifestyle

This poster was designed for a special presentation on Alan Chan’s works at the Shenzhen University, Guangdong, China on 14 Nov 1998. Titled as “Design and Lifestyle”, the poster denoted the relationship between design and lifestyle as a pair of chopsticks which always come together and influence each other.

The pair of chopsticks also illustrated the relationship between Hong Kong and Shenzhen; one chopstick is made up by the Chinese characters of Hong Kong (香 港), while the other one comprises the characters of Shenzhen (深 圳). Being the closest Mainland city to Hong Kong and a special economic region, Shenzhen has been receiving great influences from Hong Kong, and simultaneously plays a major supportive role to the economic development of Hong Kong. The two cities are closely linked and always being associated to each other.
