In 2021, the Year of the Metal Ox, during the global pandemic.
Protagonist: Oldmoon, a freelancer in the severely inflationary country of Argentina in South America.
1. The Dilemma of the Old World
It was spring 2021, and for Oldmoon, life was full of uncertainties. The currency in his country depreciated by 15% overnight, and the price of bread at the supermarket was different in the morning and evening.
Oldmoon received a major project from Taiwan—to design a complete visual identity for a tech startup. The reward was extremely high; for him at the time, it was not just a salary, but also half a year's living expenses for his family.
