East Meets West: Cultural Difference 德国人, 看中国, East

evaxiaofan

A very interesting project done by designer Yang Liu who is born in China and educated in Germany. Being having lived in both countries, the designer was able to discern the culture difference based on first hand experience. She created a series of blue (German) and red (China) posters to convey these cultural differences and nuances with simple and effective symbols.


The perception of how Germans see the Chinese and how the Chinese see the Germans
德国人如何看中国人，中国人如何看德国人。


Punctuality守时性


Connections and contacts – This is probably the most true one of the bunch. An Asian will know an Asian will know an Asian who knows an Asian who knows an Asian…etc.
人际关系——很写实，一个人将来会认识一个将来会认识另外一个对再另外一人比较熟的某人的人


At a party…聚会


Queuing up…do Chinese people queue on a line? We all know the answer.
排队


Noise level in any restaurant…Chinese people for some reason talk very loud..
餐馆里的噪声


Telling the truth…Chinese people tend to avoid as much confrontation as much…
说实话



Traveling and recording memories
旅游留念
