National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear in the world. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.
What is Guo Chao's illustration of Guo Chao? Literally, it can be understood as the trend culture with national characteristics in China. The characteristics of "national tide" are mainly manifested in two points. First, the core is traditional culture, and second, it has a sense of fashion when it is integrated with the current trend. "Tide brand" is the refinement, deconstruction and reorganization of a certain cultural element, with the coat of the brand as the carrier. Meet contemporary young people's pursuit of culture and fashion. With Chinese people's confidence in China's traditional culture, "national tide" has become the darling of young people in recent years. Where is the "national tide"? Street brand originated from American street culture. Stucy and Supreme are the most representative brands. Stussi's signature is the epitome of graffiti culture in 1970s. Supreme is paying tribute to skateboarding culture. In the 1990s, the United States came to Japan. The collision between Asian introversion and this trend has produced a chemical reaction, which is represented by the appearance of "Japanese tide" tooling. On the one hand, the widespread popularity of American tide and Japanese tide stems from the pioneering and individual design style, on the other hand, it also stems from the brand's profound understanding and manifestation of the local cultural connotation. It can be seen that a mature Guo Chao brand must be avant-garde and unique externally, which can capture the appetite of the younger generation, but its core is also deep and heavy, which cannot be separated from the cultural genes that have been precipitated for thousands of years. Culture can not only inspire the voices of national individuals, but also give brand value and make the cold design symbols come alive. The Application of National Tide in Illustration The style characteristics of National Tide Illustration: The use of China elements combined with the current popular techniques to express modern people and things. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture have a strong Chinese style. National tide illustration types: thin line type and rough graffiti type A- thin line type 1.

What is the national tide? It is a unique style formed by the combination of Chinese style and current trends. Against the background of the current trade war, it is particularly important to resist the cultural invasion of other countries. Many products or brands have been pushed to the forefront, and the use of MadeinChina is becoming more and more politically correct among the masses. As a new style, the national tide has different opinions, but what is certain is that the national tide has indeed carried forward the Chinese national tradition in a new way different from the past. Looking at the combination of national tide and illustration, the collision effect is very distinctive, especially in color, which gives people a strong sense of visual conflict and can obviously feel different effects in the illustration style of national tide. As the name implies, the illustration of the national tide is a combination of China traditional culture and illustration. Because of the background of the times and distinctive features, it has always been very popular. I heard that there are many kinds of illustrations? Besides graphic illustrations and gradient illustrations, what else? First, the graphic design style of graphic illustration has always been one of the most versatile styles. For example, the social software we usually use-WeChat, the start interface of APP, animation and even photography all have a flat style. The flat style is simple and intuitive, and the weakening of details is very friendly to beginners, and it is also the most effective composition technique. Second, the gradient style is the same, and the gradient style illustration is also an extension of the plane style. Compared with the plane style, the gradient is better at using the relationship between light and shadow, so it looks more "delicate", the picture style is realistic, the vision is stable and atmospheric, and the picture has visual impact and layering. In illustrations, it is divided into two-color gradient, translucent gradient, network gradient, gradient blur and other forms. Generally speaking, adjacent colors are used to make the picture more impactful, and even contrast colors are used to emphasize the key points of the picture. The colors are bold and highlight the uniqueness of the creator. Second, texture illustration Texture illustration integrates texture effect on the basis of plane; Usually, each element is distinguished by the brightness of the color block, and the level and three-dimensional sense of the illustration are increased by adding texture and particles, which can effectively depict the details of the work; Give people a very simple feeling, more relaxed and casual; The graininess in the texture increases the details of the picture, making it more attractive and personalized. One of the most common illustrations is noise illustration, which is an illustration in which textures are superimposed on plane illustrations. It can also be called grain wind illustration and miscellaneous illustration. Fourth, hand-painted illustrations Hand-painted illustrations need to have a certain foundation. This style can best reflect the characteristics of the creator and has a wide range of applications. Five, three-dimensional illustration Three-dimensional illustration is to express two-dimensional things in three dimensions, so that the picture has a sense of perspective and better convey objects. Last year's 2.5D illustration belongs to three-dimensional illustration, which is a very popular and expressive illustration form abroad. In addition, C4D has now completed this work. Six, the national tide illustrations have been highly respected in recent years, especially the poster advertisements with the theme of the zodiac. National tide illustration is the collision of eastern and western aesthetics. It not only inherits the traditional culture, but also endows the brand with good cultural value, thus achieving the purpose of marketing.
