Hong Kong Ballet: advert-top-1 by Design Army
- Location:
Hong Kong Ballet has taken a new approach to its design, placing its dancers in iconic Hong Kong landmarks for a major print and branding campaign.
The new look aims to showcase its new direction, after appointing former Washington Ballet’s Septime Webre as its artistic director.
The ads, which encompass brand photography and program brochure creative, is described as “fairytale-esque”, depicting the dancers as characters that are caught in exaggerated ballet poses.
The campaign, by Design Army, takes on a classic Chinese celebratory colour palette of red and blues but has intentionally made the ads feel modern.
