Matteo Ricci Design
The leaflet was created to a custom format - roughly A5.
Jesuit Communication Centre in Dublin needed posters, an invitation, a flyer, a leaflet and a large type-based 2-colour banner for events celebrating the 400th anniversary of Jesuit Matteo Ricci's birth.
In addition to using a two photo of Ricci himself and the world map drawn by his own hand; I myself carefully drew a Chinese bridge to reflect both the man's passion for geometry and the linking of east to west metaphor. It was rendered in a pencil-like style - or silverpoint if you want to split hairs! The Chinese text means 'Friendship', which was a core element of Ricci's philosophy.
