Project prompt:
 
After created a series of visual explorations of Wukong I, design a 15"x 20" poster that must incorporate:
1. A headline that tells an engaging story and ties to the visuals;
2. At least 2 different renditions created in the process.
Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is one of the main characters in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West.  One of the most enduring Chinese literary characters, Sun Wukong, has a varied background and colorful cultural history.

The role of Wukong in Chinese Opera is illustrated in this 15"x20" poster. The monkey in the lower-right corner of the poster was made from clay and represents the fact that Wukong was born from a stone.  The Chinese name, 悟空, of this mythological monkey is embedded in the calligraphic figure at the lower-left corner.
