Switch the accent to indigo blue

Design itMake a 4:5 vertical “Tea Route Archive” infographic for a cultural exhibition brochure, telling how tea spread across the oceans from 1517 to 1839: from Canton via Batavia, Amsterdam, London and Boston to Calcutta. The main title reads “1517–1839: the maritime tea route connected Canton with the world”, with the labels “TEA ROUTE ARCHIVE / 茶路档案” and “SERIES NO.01 / Maritime Route”. The main graphic uses a wavy route to link, in order, Canton 1517, Batavia 1607, Amsterdam 1610, London 1658, Boston 1773 and Calcutta 1839; each port appears once with its Chinese and English names and its year. A legend explains that the wavy line shows the direction of spread, the nodes mark ports and archive years, and the horizontal lines are only reading aids; make clear the route is not to scale and not a single continuous voyage. Add two black-and-white photos — a macro of tea-leaf veins and hands processing tea — plus a port-year index, source credits and a cartographer's signature. Use warm paper stock, dark text, grayscale photos and a touch of vermilion red for an archival-journal feel.
Make it Series No.02
The series number changes from NO.01 Maritime Route to NO.02 Inland River Route; the layout is unchanged.
