To celebrate the Year of the Water Rabbit, I decided to create a scene on the front page depicting a rabbit painting the words of a blessing.
For the back, I wanted to convey a scene I wish every family is able to attain with the pandemic slowly taking a turn for the better and to pray that everyone is able to spend their New Year with their loved ones.

A mother rabbit holding a rolled-up door couplet while her babies pull on the end of it which reveals a chinese greeting “ 新年快樂 ” commonly used during the lunar new year. This represents a family decorating their home. I really wanted to incorporate the fruit that signifies Chinese New Year, oranges, so I created a lantern with a peeled orange to include two of the most significant parts of the new year.

The year 2023 is the year of the water rabbit. During Chinese New Year, the character 福 (fú) is commonly seen as it represents happiness and good fortune. Everyone wants to be lucky and have a happy year, right? The front side shows a rabbit giving the other rabbit a yuánbǎo. Yuánbǎo (元宝) is a small gold ingot that symbolizes wealth and was used as money in ancient China. This illustration represents the real-life scenario when an adult gives children a red packet (红包) during Chinese New Year. The back side of the red packet shows all the yuánbǎo piling up. This signifies the quote “little by little, a little becomes a lot” which encourages us all, especially children to save money regardless of the amount. Additionally, the teal and magenta colored yuánbǎo are Progresifs’ representative colors.
