Object Lesson

The design of the matchbook I produced was based on the film Fallen Angels, which was set in Hong Kong and was directed by Wong Kar Wai. I found it important to take design inspiration from the film itself and the time period it was set and filmed in. I referenced 90s design and came up with the graphic on the cover of the matchbook. The color was a combination of the colors of the bar in the film where the characters visited the most and the influence of the 90s design. I also looked at Asian design and focused on creating an object that would fit into the bar and the aesthetic of the scenes.
