Chinatown Photography Book Design
Project Overview
A Chinatown is an ethnic enclave of Chinese people located outside mainland China. Areas are known as "Chinatown" exist throughout the world, including Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Zealandia.
My senior project is called "The Outside of the Window," which is a project about San Francisco's Chinatown and its rich cultural legacy.
In this project, I did some researches and explored different visual communication design to disseminate the culture value of San Francisco Chinatown for travelers and the people who live or work in Chinatown.
