# Abstract Asian Animated Gifs Chineasy by Noma Bar is an Intuitive Language Learning System By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chineasy-by-noma-bar References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2013/05/07/chinese-illustrations-by-noma-bar/) & [chineasy.org](http://chineasy.org/) Chineasy by [Noma Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroom-garum), a graphic designer born in Israel and based in London, England, is a collection of minimalist illustrations based around Chinese characters. Bringing them to life, he has not only created static illustrations, he has also [animated them for the gif-loving population](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animate-ai2) out there. More than that, however, it is a [visual-based learning system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capwords) that teaches the written language in a more intuitive way. As is written on the Chineasy by Noma Bar website, "Our aim is to bring down the great wall of Chinese language." Thus the imagery associated with each Chinese character is not chosen at whim. Instead, it depicts their individual meaning. When strung together like hieroglyphs, they illustrate a story in a picture book-like way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Illustrations:** Opportunity for creating visually appealing and simplified representations of complex concepts. - **Animated Gifs:** Chance to transform static visuals into dynamic and engaging content. - **Visual-based Learning:** Potential for developing intuitive and immersive educational systems. ### Where This Applies - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity to create visually striking and aesthetically pleasing designs using minimalist techniques. - **Animation:** Potential for incorporating animation into various industries for enhanced storytelling and engagement. - **Education:** Possibility of revolutionizing language learning methods through visual-based approaches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Universal Icon Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pictograms-iconic-japanese-designs.md) - [Connected Smart Reading Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genie-board.md) - [AI-Fuelled GIF Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-gif.md) - [Language Learning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinobi-japanese.md) - [Photo Animation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a1art.md) - [AI Animation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionary-ai.md) - [Adaptive Language Learnings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/read-bean.md) - [Transformative AI Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawings-alive.md)
