Chinese ethnic minority motifs

Since ancient times, China has always been a unified country with various ethnic groups coexisting together. Due to their uniqueness in lifestyle and culture, each group has different aesthetic senses, which are reflected in their decorative patterns. Featuring 10 Chinese ethnic minority groups Miao, Yi, Yao, Uighur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Qiang, Tujia, Zhuang and Dong this book focuses on the definitive patterns found in their everyday lives, such as clothing, carpets and architecture. The patterns have been adapted, recreated and refined with Adobe Illustrator and kept in a vector format, and can be easily used by designers of any discipline, be it fashion, textile, graphic or interior design.
