Happy Chinese New Year 2013!!




Chinese New Year's just round the corner.
Instead of my usual style of black and white and silver, I made this!
It has a more Chinese New Year feel to it.
It's simple.

Colours used :
Red - Symbolises good fortune and joy.
Yellow Gold - Signifies neutrality and Good luck

2 - Year of the snake. Dark Red associated with shades of Gold. Showing elegance and fierce at the    same time.

0 - The Chinese characters in the coin roughly means "Money and Treasures will be Plentiful".
      招 (zhao) - Attract
     財 (cai) - Wealth or Money
     進 (jin) - Come In
     寶 (bao) - Treasure

1 - Chinese New Year Firecracker福 (Foo) means wealth.

3 - Paper Cutting Design - The Carp Fish
     The Chinese character for Carp is pronounced the same for the words "profits" & "strength". 
     Also symbolises for an abundance of children because it produces many eggs.
    A Pair of carp symbolises a harmonious marriage.
