In this age of digital communication, there is something beautiful about receiving a physical handwritten card. Roy Wang the founder of design agency FACTORY had this epiphany when he found a handwritten note from a friend in Primary school. The note brought back some beautiful memories of his school days and kindled a desire to revive the tradition of hand written notes and cards. As the head of the design agency FACTORY he decided he could spread this message by designing cards for festivals and distributing them with handwritten messages.
Fast forward to 2024, Roy’s design studio FACTORY has distributed 24,000 CNY and Xmas cards to promote the art of handwritten cards.
In an attempt to bring more visibility to this mission, FACTORY has now organised an exhibition of its CNY cards showcasing every single card the agency has designed since 2013 and the stories behind each and every one of them. The exhibition titled HUAT CARD Showcase also features the new card for 2024, Year of the Dragon, titled 钱龙驾到, which is a word play on the name of Emperor Qian Long of the Qing Dynasty. Hence the title for this year’s card, 钱龙驾到, means “the Money Dragon has arrived”.
