HAPPINESS CATS IN CITIES
--------------------------------------------

China has so many diverse city cultures. 
While they are recognized by landmarks, 
what makes them truly special is the character 
of the people who live there. 

Coca-Cola launched a series of 23 limited edition 
"Sleek Cans" celebrating the distinct faces of cities
in China,2018.
McCann Shanghai partnered with famous illustrator
Noma Bar for the designs of the city cans, 
using iconic cultural elements of each city
to express the personality of its people 
and mixing it with Coca-Cola iconography.

The can designs are visually captivating
because some details are obvious, 
and others discoverable upon a second glance.



To promote "Sleek Cans" program on Tmall.com,
Coca-Cola launch a tailor-made program on the biggest
eCommerce platform in China,
the idea is select 4 iconic cities to develop 
a set of special premiums for the Tmall.com promotion,
the premium design should fit in the Tmall.com logo
- Cat head shape


Finally, I developed a set of "Cat head shape" pillows
to represent Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hangzhou city.
