@upwitheric: On chromatic principles in Chinese design. Inspired by a conversation with my friends at chinamoderne :) Footnotes 1. It's just 'Northern Song/北宋', referring to the first period of the Song dynasty (comprised of both Northern and Southern Song), but I have called it the Northern Song dynasty here for ease of understanding. 2. Ink painting at 1:01 is by Sesshū Tōyō. Its accompanying text does connect the influence of traditional Chinese landscape art on his style after his iconic 1467 trip. There is a shared lineage, and it's an excellent representation of 'formlessness' studied by many Chinese and Japanese artists, but my apologies for any confusion. 祝大家中秋快乐!❤️🎑 #chineseculture #chinesedesign #designhistory semiotics
Loved this. Especially the thesis about design subjectivity toward the end. Beautifully said.

this was so fascinating for so many reasons! I feel like this really also reaffirms my absolute hatred for AI flyers- they have no concept of form, color, blank space, or any of the refinement you noted in your examples. humans and their art are so incredible!

The use of blank space must be the most difficult thing to do . Restraint is not easy to achieve.
