Abstract
The object of this research is kite festival in the Chinese city Weifang in Shandong province. The subject is the impact of graphic support of the kite festival upon heightening interest in the folk culture. The development of a new design concept of hosting a festival would increase its attractiveness and popularize traditions of the Chinese folk crafts. Having originated in China, the kites rapidly spread among the neighboring countries of Southeast Asia, and later appeared in Western countries. Kite festivals were used extensively – from entertainment events to translation of information, and even military purposes. The goal of this work consists in identification of peculiarities of the Chinese traditional folk art with regards to hosting public cultural events on the examples of the International Kite Festival in Weifang. The authors analyze the specificities of logos and event posters of the hosted festivals, and propose the criteria for the analysis of advertising and graphic information. The new design ad graphic support of festivals alongside the recommendations on arranging space for the festival are developed. The research results, designed tools and new concept of graphic support for holding a kite festival in Weifang would help to popularize Chinese cultural traditions and increase its tourism attractiveness.
