Hmm..
I wrote the rational before so I'm just gonna copy and paste it here. It's a lot of words.. wonder if you can bare with me

The dragon is an important cultural phenomenon of China. It has become a spiritual tie linking the nation. The dragon, as the symbol of the Chinese nation, has become part of the Chinese people. They have deep feelings for the dragon, and are proud to call themselves “the offspring of the dragon". In the minds of the early Chinese people, the dragon was a god that embodied the will and ideals of the Chinese people. It is said that the dragon is a large-scaled reptile, which can become dark or bright, large or small, long or short, and can fly into the sky in the spring and live under the water in the fall. It seems that the dragon is capable of doing almost anything. Thus, I relate the dragon with the spirit of striving without giving up, the spirit of believing that anything is possible so that every sportsman can be like the dragon, which is capable of achieving anything. And like the dragon that soars high in the sky, every sportsman should push their limits till the furthest. That is why there is a dragon in my poster, linking with the Great Wall of China to portray its spiritual tie of linking the every single athlete who is experiencing the journey through Olympics together.

The journey I mentioned is symbolized in the form of the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall is very long and barely anyone can finish the whole route walking on it in one shot. Thus, this shows that it takes a long, almost unending journey to finish walking the whole Great Wall of China. Therefore, it portrays the journey through Olympics, which usually starts from a celebration then different events of sports, the agony of striving to achieve victory; and finally the joy and achievement in the end of the journey. Thus the dragon is also used to symbolize the celebration as it is the important cultural phenomenon of China, as it is the spiritual sustenance for a nation and the symbol of the nation. Then there are the sports events going on after the celebration. And in every picture of the sports events in the poster, different expressions and emotions of how the sportsmen strive to win are portrayed. This is to show how the sportsmen go through this journey through the Olympic Games and how they finally get to achieve victory with great honour for their country. That is why the winner is holding the flag of his own country and smiling.

Generally, the poster portrays the journey through the Olympic Games by striving to achieve victory and the spirit of pushing your limits to the furthest which are all important when it comes to such an event.

Hope that you like it..
