Men are great for the dreams they have


Introduction

Born in a business family, I has been implanted and gradually perceived critical thinking since early age. So I showed a great interest in logic-based subjects in school, such as mathematics, science, chemistry, etc. Also, influenced by my sister, who is pretty fond of arts and books, I’ve grown a strong interest in arts. In learning of how to draw and paint, I really enjoyed and was fascinated more about the creative thinking process than mastering painting techniques. This, I believe, initially ignited my desire for pursuing a career as a visual artist. There is fierce competition in the Department of Visual Communication Design. Sometimes I feel pretty frustrated and tired when my fellow students paint better than me, but I’ve never given up because I persist that today’s hardworking lays tomorrow’s solid foundation, and the effort will eventually pay off. In fulfilling my dream, I’d worked hard studying professional knowledge in university to setup a concrete foundation in Graphic Design. To better absorb and digest the knowledge learned from class, I also participated some industrial cases in product design during my spare time. In the design process, critical thinking has always helped me probe questions and solve them independently and successfully, which really gives me confidence for pursuing my career in industrial design after graduation. Armed with a solid foundation in Graphic Design and upholding a big aspiration, I’m looking forward to embracing my dream of creating both visually appealing and functional products to serve for industries.

Team : ideamax To echo the product naming, I used a blue whale as the visual focus contrasted with other surrounding sea animals on the background in order to display the sea animals’ migratory mode of living after Submersion. The vast blue background sets off a dignified appeal.

Team : ideamax In the page of a foreign magazine, soft Chinese ink wash painting strokes contrast with the hardness of construction screws, and screws contrast with brushes. Unlike brushes create elegant Chinese ink wash paintings, screws are the indispensable component for the creation of beautiful buildings.

Team : Intramural Practice “Vanished and Ornaments� photography exhibition consists of two parts: static photo presentation and dynamic documentary film display. The exhibition layout imitated the images of the military community, and the special designed path leads audience not only to revisit the scenes, as well as walk into the life of the nonexisting Restoration Village. The exhibition is not just about the photographs, but more about a wonderful time journey.

Additionally, interactive little games in these books make the books more interesting, and further enhance the learning process.

Design Concept Time brings us valuable experience, and the elapsed time is very precious. A prehistoric theme is used as the focus of this desk clock, and time tickling with the movement of the arms symbolizes time elapsing and human history inevitably moving forward. The numerals on the clock display the feature transition from Paleolithic Era to Metal Era. The magnifying glass (short arm) and shovel (long arm) symbolize how archaeologists discover and excavate those buried cultures and treasures. To name this work as A Time Spell of Good Fortune implies time has been nourishing and flourishing our culture and life since human civilization started, and has also been witnessing the ups and downs of human history.

Design Concept Along with the promotion of cycling sport, the silhouettes of cyclists can often be seen on the roads. When cyclists need to take a break during the journey, it is hard for them to find a place to sit down and securely park their bikes at the same time. Therefore, it gives me an idea to combine the bike rake with the public chair, to provide cyclists a resting place in the best of both worlds, so that cyclists not only do not have to worry about occupying roads but also can take a safe short break.

Design Concept The use of simple lines and geometric shapes created a clock with a modern aesthetics. The triangular shaped hour and minute hands present different angles at different times; the clock face not only has the practical value but also is a geometric painting with the unique feature. Who says this geometric painting is stationary? As time goes by, every minute of every moment it presents different scenery.
