THE BEGINNING — CONVERGE

CONVERGE

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

㶓窕

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 per spectives 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.

OB JECTIVE

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

ፓ秂

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.

APPROACH

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

ොဩ

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.

OB JECTIVE

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

ፓ秂

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.

APPROACH

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

ොဩ

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.”

APPROACH

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

ොဩ

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.

series that gathers people in different fields to share their creative process and inspirations. The speakers are not only from fields of design and visual arts, but also in the music industr y, podcast media, publication, and industrial design. Circles, stripes, and different colors are meant to represent different creative ideas that interconnect and flow together to represent this inspirational event.

APPROACH

By taking the advantage of the special texture that letterpress can make, create

a literature print series. These prints are classic quotes from significant writers, singers, and influential designers. The content is meant to be as timeless as traditional letterpress technique.

OB JECTIVE

To choose a company’s annual report and redesign it. Show the ability to follow

ፓ秂

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.

APPROACH

The company that I chose was Herman Miller. It is not only a manufacturer in

ොဩ

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 find a hand drawing sign and redesign it. The designer needs to find out of the

ፓ秂

intention of the sign and create a design system to serve the intention. The goal is to use graphic design skill to improve the visual communication of the sign and transform it into the next level.

furniture in a cof fee shop. I decided to use personification bring the sense of humor to the design. The final deliverables are a table pamphlet, a mobile application game poster series, and postcards.

OB JECTIVE

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.

APPROACH

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

ොဩ

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.

APPROACH

Steam Magazine has three dif ferent sections. “ The Preparation” guides the

ොဩ

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.

OB JECTIVE

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

ፓ秂

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.

APPROACH

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

ොဩ

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.

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.

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.

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.
