I would be more referring to myself as an information architect than an artist or a designer – a person who builds impression and feeling by plan to trigger people’s senses or memories. Even a logo delivers complex feelings when it applies to different media. Name card for example, simply as a piece paper could involve senses like: visual, touch and smell so to experience the design as a whole. I try to deliver feelings through my works mostly because resonance is how design interacts with people. ““Art is to raise question and design is to find solution” - John Meada Raising questions makes me notice issues what others do not see and I am happy to know the value of my opinion is important to them. I always hear people say creative people are gifted. They are weird but see and think of the world differently. I enjoy such gift and I will use this gift to build feelings for those who look for it.

COLOUR EXP// Colour Exp is a multi- usage white space. This project is keen to look for a more adaptive identity for a highly adaptive space. On application aspect the identity should be able to appear on all kinds of background (image or color) yet still be able to standout, as well as standing side by side with other logos. Because such visual identity could be seen on different occasions: exhibitions, events, conference, gathering, opening, functions etc, so a mutual, simple structured, less characteristic form should be a more suitable solution.

This state of “simultaneity” defines the psychological present, within which we perceive the fundamental characteristics of change: first, the order of the various stimuli, and second, the time periods by which they are separated. The order and the periodicity of change cause, in turn, a sequence of physiological modifications in the human body, and condition our responses to those changes.”
CLIENT//
“Under normal circumstances, we perceive change as a successive integration of stimuli, which allows us to see these stimuli as being relatively simultaneous.
