Graham Market Festival Poster Series

This is a set of poster designed to create awareness for the redevelopment of the 160 years old Graham Street Market in Hong Kong . 

Graham Street Market is the original Hong Kong-style “wet market” which is a busy neighborhood market with vendors who sell fresh meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits,  clustered among the ever changing and fast paced central business district in Hong Kong. 

Designer used a colorful illustration approach to present the Chinese text of Graham (嘉咸), the plentiful elements created an eye catching and interesting Chinese typography of Graham, it also deliver an unique and multi sensory experience. 

In each text one can find distinguishing traditional features of wet markets such as the scale , vegetable and fruit stalls, chicken cage and the classic red lantern. There are also a number of braided hair Amahs in the posters. Amahs were housemaids in the 1950s and popular among wealthy households . They strived for independence , resisted relying on men and eschewed marriage. All these iconic images created a vivid picture of the wet market.
