Converge

A designer is always finding invisible connections, spontaneous reactions, and

匯流

profound reflections upon things or events. The ability to synthesize and transform personal experience into collective experience— converge—is the essence of design. Improving this process is an endless pursuit for a designer.

As a designer, I believe the beaut y of the design is how we interpret great ideas and make it resonate with people. To have a good design, it needs dif ferent perspectives and sometimes cer tain degrees of jux taposi tion.

My design is a collective representation of what I have learned, experienced, and how I react to the world. The various projects, learning experiences, and my background converge to create this collection.

• 設計師總是在找尋那些看不見的連結，也同時去記錄直覺的反應和深刻的迴響。設計 的過程是一種自身經驗的截取和組合，透過清晰的邏輯和技巧去融合有用的元素，進 而轉換成能夠與大眾溝通的集合共鳴。這樣的過程是每一個設計師都必須反覆練習與 精進的日常課題。 身為一個設計師，我相信設計的真諦在於我們如何詮釋一個想法跟概念，讓原本形而 上的抽象概念變得能夠被人感受和理解。為了產出好的設計，設計師必須能夠觀察到 事物不同的面相，有時也需要將幾個不看似無關的想法並置，串連形成新的意義去感 動更多的人。我的作品呈現了我對設計的各種想法，也呈現了與我世界互動的方式。 所有的設計專案，和不間斷的學習過程，都在這本作品集裡一一呈現。這本作品集，

objective

To chose a film director and his selected works to design a comprehensive film

目標

festival experience. Discover the common thread that appears in each of the director’s films and conceptualize a visual system. Use different design skills to create a cohesive visual and design language throughout the experience.

• 透過選擇一名導演，並且從他的作品中擷取擁有一貫觀點的電影系列，為其設計一套 完整的電影節周邊視覺設計。設計師必須深入去瞭解導演的中心思想，必且將這些形 而上的想法化為能夠讓人輕易感受的視覺以及畫面。透過平面設計，將導演的動態電 影，轉化成一套可以彈性呼應不同影片的視覺系統。專案產出必須包含，平面視覺， 電影節識別，相關周邊紀念品，紀念電影光碟紀念組等等。

approach

The director that I chose was Alejandro González Iñárritu, who won two Academy

方法

Awards for Best Director in 2015 and 2016 for his t wo films “Birdman” and “Revenant.” His movies often portray extreme family tragedies to families using great strength and warmth to show how beautiful life is. For five selected films, I shred por traits and used then torn paper to illustrate the destruction in the stories. a The red band symbolizes a violent strike and plight in every story. These elements all converged into the final visual experience.

• 我選擇的導演是亞歷山卓．岡薩列茲．伊納利圖，他的作品《鳥人》及《神鬼獵人》

連續兩年獲得了奧斯卡最佳導演殊榮。他所執導的影片通常探討了極端的家庭悲劇， 但也在其中呈現了難能的溫暖及人性在面對艱難所擁有的韌性。因為他的電影充滿了 摧毀性的衝擊跟壓抑，所以我透過撕碎的人物肖像，紙張皺褶的紋理去呈現電影裡的 張力和壓抑。透過紅色的條帶裝飾，去表達亟欲彌補卻造成傷害的衝擊視覺，用這樣 的抽象意涵去貫串整個視覺體驗。

To chose a defunct or dying brand and redesign its brand identity to fit a future

目標

vision. Researches about the brand history, analyze possible future audiences, and structure the future vision and brand direction. The main goal is to create a fresh visual identity which follows the soul of the brand and helps the brand to turn a new leaf for its new vision.

• 挑選一個正面臨凋亡或一蹶不振的品牌為其思考新的品牌價值及方向，並且設計一 套新的識別系統配合新的品牌走向。設計師必須透過大量的背景研究了解該品牌的 歷史，設計出符合該品牌精神的新走向和新視覺。主要的挑戰在於重新設計一套更 好的識別系統，為重塑造的品牌形象揭開嶄新的一頁。

approach

The brand that I chose was NASA. After the Space Race and Apollo Moon Landing

方法

Project, NASA started to lose its importance for the US government and in people’s minds. However, with the new goal of landing on Mars, the passion and desire of exploring space are being revived. And also, NASA needs a new identity to better reflect its current place and its future goal. I chose simplify the current “Meat Ball” logo and brings some sense of the classic “The Worm” logo. The idea is to show a sense of “The Next Giant Leap” in an abstract way, to reflect the soul of NASA which aims to “Reveal the unknown, reaching the new height and benefit all humankind.”

• 我選擇的品牌是美國太空總署。在太空競賽及阿波羅登月計劃結束之後，美國太空總 署開始失去了在政府機構中的重要性。連年減少的聯邦預算，讓新的探索及科學研究 窒礙難行。然而最近的火星登陸計畫，重新燃起大眾對於未知宇宙的熱情與嚮往。將 來，美國太空總署將更名為「美國科學發展促進聯盟」聯合其他有能力的機構或企業 一起揭開神秘的未知。美國太空總署需要一套新的識別，去迎接新的走向。在識別標 誌上，我簡化了現行的「肉丸子」識別，納入了經典簡約的「條蟲」識別，並運用了 抽象的圖像去展現「嶄新的躍進」的內涵意義，去符合美國太空總署「揭示未知，突 破現有極限，造福全人類。」的中心思想。

objective

To create a mobile application that solves a particular problem. Demonstrate the

目標

ability to go through the UX/UI design process which includes conducting user research, generating the application concept, preparing various prototypes, user testing, and designing the application with one complete user flow.

• 設計一個可以解決現有問題的手機應用程式。設計師必須展現有善於處理使用者經驗 以及使用者介面設計的能力，並且能夠確實執行使用者的研究調查，擁有好的設計流 程，製作紙本原型。專案的成品是一個能夠展示使用流程的手機應用程式。

approach

The problem that I tackle is people in America spending too much time staring

方法

at the screens of their digital devices ever y day. Most of people spend hours browsing social feeds to gain the sense of being connected to other people.

My design solution is to create an audio-based social media that encourages people to experience the world through sound. People can record an ambient sound of a special moment that they don’t want to forget, document, share, and also listen to other people’s recordings. I believe, with sound, everything becomes more intimate and people can enjoy the social network in another, perhaps more present and connected way.

• 我選擇處理的議題是有關美國人每天花太多時間瀏覽社群網站上面的資訊而讓生活失

C h a p t e r 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

去了某種真實性，也讓許多人有了視覺資訊焦慮的情形。大部分的人瀏覽社群網站的 原因之一是想透過觀看他人的日常來獲取那種與他人連結的感覺。因此我設計了一款 以聲音為主要溝通媒介的的手機應用程式。使用者可以透過錄製周遭的環境音，聽取 別人的錄音來感受當下，也可以透過錄音去記錄每一個難忘的時刻。當以聲音為主， 影像為輔，大腦能透過聲音而對他人的生活會有更多想像空間，也拉近了某種人與人 的距離。

the design language of the brand and establish a cohesive visual communication in typography, tables, and charts. The goal is to deconstruct the design language and reconstruct it into an integrated, newly envisioned annual report.

• 選擇一間公司為其設計新的公司年報表。專案的重點在於觀察並建立一套完整視覺 系統，能夠延伸出新的圖表及數據資訊彙整。如何透過字型排印即排版技巧彰顯公 司 的 調 性 以 及 原 本 的 設 計 元 素 為 本 專 案 的 一 大 重 點 。 最 後 的 成 品 是 一 本 52頁 的 公 司 年報表。

design field but also a well-credited company that contributes to introducing modernism to people’s lives by designing great furniture. I tried to keep the design and layout as simple as possible. The major challenge: considering every element in the spread and trying to subtract the component without functional purposes.

The process of redesigning the annual repor t was ver y similar to learn from so many great designers who have work with Herman Miller. The project provided the opportunity to learn from many great designer as well as a sort of pilgrimage to a good company with great design.

To choose a song and create a music poster by using analog projector photography

skills. Prepare various objects, such as celluloid films, glass, translucent paper and even different kinds of liquid, to construct an interesting image on an analog projector. The goal is to pull a designer out of the comfort zone and be confident to generate the imagery manually and creatively.

• 選擇一首歌，然後透過類比影像重疊的方式去製作一張音樂海報。設計師必須自行準 備多元的物件，例如賽璐璐片、玻璃、半透明的紙張、以及不同效果的液體，在投影 機上即興拼湊，來完成一張音樂海報。專案的目的在於讓設計師暫時脫離在電腦上作 業的舒適圈，重返手作與類比的即興設計。

The song that I chose was Youth, by the band Daughter. It is about the retrospect

of collisions, losses, gains, loves, and regrets of youth. I used different symbols to compose rhythm-like patterns which represent to the drums and bass. Printed celluloid films compose poetic images which reflect the mood of the song. The final deliverable was an 18*24 inch music poster.

• 我所選擇的歌曲是女兒樂團的《青春》，歌曲呈現了對於年少輕狂的回顧和弔念，那 些為了感情和現實的衝撞，還有所有悵然若失的傷感，都透過旋律一一浮現。我使用 了大量的符號組成了有節奏性的圖案，去呼應風格強烈的鼓聲。也用了很多賽璐璐片

specific subject. Show the ability to create a cohesive layout which can flexibly fit with various contents. Execute the concept of visualization. The goal is to have complete elements for the magazine which include at least five different articles, table of contents, chapter openers, and a fully designed cover.

• 創造一本假想的雜誌，然後根據雜誌包容的主題去制定一套相關的視覺概念。設計師 必須充分展現有排版的組織能力。雜誌排版應該在多樣的功能性和連續性之間達到彈 性變化的平衡。主要的目標是將雜誌的主架構設計完成，包含不同類型的文章內容， 章節跨頁，目錄以及封面。

audience to learn practical skills in cooking. “The Main Dish” illustrates stories and information about food ingredients. “The Last Order” shows the transformation from food to literature which allows experiencing a spiritual feast through words and sentences.

• 我選擇了以食物為主題的雜誌，並且命名為《蒸汽雜誌》。透過蒸氣所傳達的熱度及 溫暖去呈現對食物的熱情和想望。蒸汽雜誌的概念在於去呈現不同有關食物的面貌。 該雜誌有三個部分：「備料」講述的是有關準備一道料理的知識與技能。「主餐」則

objective

A master’s thesis project is a year-long exploration of a chosen topic that identifies

目標

problems in the world. The purpose of the thesis is to find ways that graphic design can be used to address the problem and implement a possible solution that demonstrates unique design thinking. This includes a variety of in-depth research techniques, strategies, explorations, development and execution of deliverables.

• 研究所論文是一個為期一年的主題探索。研究生必須選擇一個自己有興趣的議題，找 出現有的問題，透過平面設計的方式找到解答。過程中，研究生必須展現深入的研究 技巧，組織及設定解決策略，並且徹底執行相關的設計產物。

approach

I was intrigued by the topic of “How to encourage more people to read printed

方法

books.” After research and interviews, I found the most effective way to motivate people to read is to increase the sense of being connected to other people.

So I created a share-economy based application which rebuilds the connection bet ween books, social media, and people. The application is called Tome — a platform that connects real people to real books.

• 因為喜愛書籍，有關如何鼓勵更多的人來閱讀紙本書是我最關切的議題。經過了許多 的背景研究，以及訪問。我發現最能夠激發閱讀動力的方式在於，去增強那種人與人

216

C h a p t e r 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

之間的連結感。所以我設計了一個以共享經濟為導向的手機應用程式，來重新連結紙 本 書 、 社 群 、 與 人 們 。 這 個 應 用 程 式 是 To m e : 連 結 紙 本 和 人 們 最 好 的 夥 伴 。

Thank You, Mom and dad

A few words are not enough to express how I grateful feel for your unconditional love, encouragement, and support both in school and life. I will do my best to let you know how all the efforts you have made on my behalf are worthwhile. There is an old saying in design the field: “Before becoming a good designer, you need to learn how to be a good person.” I think you set my design path from the very beginning. I love you and thank you for everything.

• 我想再多的文字也無法表達我對你們的感謝。因為你們一直以來的支持，還有投注在 我身上的所有努力，才讓我有機會在異地築夢。謝謝你們包容我的任性，也支持我的 夢想。他們說:「在成為好的設計師之前，必須先學習成為一個好的人。」這麼說來， 早在進入設計領域之前，你們就已經為我打下穩穩的基礎。我希望有一天，能夠回饋 你們的心意和付出，用最實質和最直接的方式讓你們知道這一切的努力與付出都是值 得的。我愛你們，謝謝你們所付出的一切。

Thank You, instructors

Thank You, my Friends

Monica, Louise, Yun, Lynn, you are the most impor tant people and best friends during my school years in San Francisco. You guys always see through things that I cannot get. Your honesty, opinions and the right-to-the-point advice, always bring me back to the right track both in design and in life. I feel lucky to have taken classes with you, to learn from you, and keep growing and graduating with you.

Edward, Kristy, and Yen, you guys are the best roommates I’ve ever had. Thanks for countless lunches, dinners, and comfort foods in my darkest times. And thank you for being inclusive, for being patient and understanding of my crazy schedule, my capriciousness, and regular messes that I brought home. You guys are the sweetest part of home.

A thanks to the friends that shared meals and tears and laughter with. You are the most precious memories in my time at school. Without your support, it would have been impossible for me to make it today. Thank you with all my heart.

• 冠華、魯意思、晃、令、謝謝你們。你們是舊金山最好的朋友和夥伴，總能夠看穿那 些我看不見的盲點。無論是在設計上或是或是龐雜的生活裡，總是能一針見血的給我 你們的看法和分析，適時的把我拉回正軌。能夠和你們一起上課、一起成長，一起畢 業是我莫大的榮幸。 愛德華、涵文、阿彥、謝謝你們。你們是我遇過最好的室友。謝謝你們總是包容我的 任性、誇張的作息，以及不定期為家裡帶來的混亂。感謝你們總是在我最低潮的時候 準備了溫暖的餐飯和食糧，陪我度過難關。能成為你們的室友，我三生有幸。 太多的朋友無法一一感謝，請容我把感謝帶入每一次的餐聚，以及相聚的時光。所有 與你們有過的片段都是我在舊金山最美好的回憶。謝謝你們一直以來的支持和鼓勵， 我由衷感謝。

Special thanks

Peter and Jenny, I'm so glad that I met you through the Weekend Press. Working with you gave me tremendous influence in my design. Thank you for always giving me great advice, guidance, and all the time that we spent together. It is a great experience to have learned from you for your positive spirit, great sense of generosity, and professional insistence.

Ryan Wang, there won't be enough words to express my gratefulness. You are my mentor both in design and life. All these things might be totally different if I didn't meet you five years ago. You opened the door of design for me, and always guided me when I felt lost or frustrated. I will keep working hard to catch up, and thank you for all the seeds that you have planted during these years, I hope I can show you when they sprout and grow.

Silvi Alcivar, knowing you is such a wonder ful coincidence, and knowing you through your words and poetry is one of the most beautiful things in my life. Your words have great strength and a great sense of healing in them, which can ignite people's hearts and mind with warmth. Thank you for all the time you have put into my portfolio, helping me with words and sentences and making them feel right and concise. I look forward to the possibility of future collaborations.

• Peter, Jenny 謝 謝 你 們 ， 能 透 過 「 週 末 印 刷 工 作 室 」 認 識 你 們 真 的 是 在 幸 運 不 過 的 事 情了。與你們一起工作，在追求細節的宇宙裡打滾，對我的設計有著莫大的影響。你 們積極的態度，對晚輩的慷慨，還有對專業的支持是觸動我最深的部分，我會帶著你 們給過的所有，繼續前進。 丸正，謝謝你。你一直是我最重要的導師，如果當初不是因為辦展認識你，今天所有 的事情都會很不一樣。你為我打開了有關設計的大門，總是願意在我感到迷惘的時候 給我最適切的引導。我會努力趕上你的腳步，讓你看到曾經播下的種子，已經慢慢在 抽芽和生長。

Silvi Alcivar 認 識 你 是 奇 妙 的 巧 合 ， 你 的 文 字 和 你 的 詩 有 著 隱 隱 的 力 量 和 撫 慰 人 心 的 溫度。謝謝你願意花時間在我的作品集上，字字句句地推敲，讓它們有最好的呈現， 期待未來的合作以及所有的可能。
