tOPIC / 60S-70S hONG KONG STORE
This art director project explores the vibrant culture of Hong Kong's "si do" (corner stores) during the 1960s and 1970s. Using retro color palettes like warm browns and greens, it evokes a sense of nostalgia. Grainy textures mimic old photographs, enhancing the historical feel.
Hand-drawn illustrations add warmth and intimacy, reflecting personal connections in these community hubs. Vintage typography echoes period signage, immersing viewers in the era. Neon light effects capture the bustling energy of Hong Kong streets, while collage art with old photos and advertisements provides a layered narrative.
This project celebrates the charm and significance of the "si do," offering a window into a bygone era and inviting reflection on their enduring impact.
