Ning Huang

This is part of Ning Hunang's degree show 'Twelve Monkey Adapts' at Glasgow School of Art. This project is based on Ning Huang's essay 'Chinese Animation In a Crossroads. it compares the characteristics in the design of Chinese Japanese and American animation. It also reflects on the future of Chinese animation in a period of cultural globalization. The context of cultural communication represents different customs and cultures that have been crashed and mixed together. From this she focused on cultural mimicking and communication using five body parts the(eye, mouth, brain, hand and foot). She has arranged the elements to create different characters. Ning Hunang

Anna Kövecses

Anna Kövecses has produced a wonderful graphically illustrated book of the Hungarian alphabet, Anna's graphic illustrations are so wonderfully composed and the colour is so perfect, that it looks as though it is a classic children's book from the 1950's. 
I love the translucent layering of colour, the collaged style you can buy it here.
