Description
Made in China -- these three short words practically guarantee vibrant graphics and design. Collected in these pages, you¿ll find some of the most colorful (and in some cases the most kooky) Chinese ephemera. Candy wrappers, firecrackers, Chairman Mao heads, and more! These objects are a testament to the age-old Chinese tradition of reverence for color and design. Even humdrum, everyday items such as matchbooks and sock labels are decorated with exuberant illustration. ¿A stylishly designed object and graphic essay in one, this book is an extraordinary glimpse into the heart of popular Chinese culture.¿ Over 300 full-color illustrations. Compact format.
