Most people around the world may not know the traditional clothing of the largest single ethnic group in the world, the Han Chinese. Most Han Chinese perhaps have never worn their own ethnic traditional clothing in their lives. Why? This is a lost and forgotten clothing. The project gives a basic introduction on the clothing heritage of the Han Chinese, as well as my own viewpoint.

Little India Restaurant is a family-runned restaurant at the beach side of White Rock, BC.
A Third Year Design Core course provided the opportunity to create a rebranding proposal to the restaurant. In first understanding the personality of the restaurant owners and the atmosphere of the location they are situated, I set out to bring these two aspects together under one roof. The key focus points became the aspects of "family/home/comforting" and "lively/contemporary". The brand was also created with an awareness to appear with class but definitely affordable. 

Deliverables included logo/branding, business cards, food menu, purchasable spice jars, and outer signage.
