chinese snake year design guidelines

1. Exam Question: (1) In traditional Chinese culture, the zodiac culture is rich and diverse. The Year of the Snake, as a unique presence among them, has a wealth of cultural connotations. In graphic design, we can showcase the characteristics of the Year of the Snake through various elements. (2) Each design work has its core elements and forms of expression. Some design elements originate from traditional cultural symbols, such as the image of the snake in the zodiac, scenes or objects from legends and stories related to snakes; while others originate from the transmission of auspicious meanings, such as bat patterns representing fortune, and gold ingot patterns symbolizing wealth (which can be cleverly integrated with snake elements in Snake Year designs).
