Introduction:
In Hong Kong, everyone owns a smart phone, turns on air-con during summer. When the night falls, Hong Kong is lit everywhere. It can be seen that in life, whether it’s work or entertainment, it consumes a lot of electricity. When we are enjoying electricity, who are to contribute that given us a stable supply of electricity? It turns out that the electric towers that we see on the mountain every day must be regularly inspected and repaired by a group of transmission overhead cable maintenance personnel to enable Hong Kong having a stable power transmission network. Although we never know their names, they have taken the mission of this high-risk work for us. Hong Kong has the reputation of the Pearl of the Orient, and to a certain extent, are relying on these unsung heroes!

BridgeAvenir takes inspiration from the majestic Lamborghini Aventador, which silhouetted against the backdrop of a crafted line car spoiler. The aerodynamic design stimulates the actual reduction of wind force. The geometric shapes form the streamline with delicacy, it is futuristic yet pragmatic. We are present at the very beginning of the 21st century, with the future unknown, architectural marvellous can be preformed at the very moment. Each peek outside the 21 windows sees a great possibility, and with the bridge being a linkage between the present and the near future. BridgeAvenir uses Black as the main colour, stripped with glowing mustard yellow light box as highlight. The black colour depicts its power, prestige,
integrity and elegance while yellow stances for its intelligent and light of the future.

We are all familiar with the song “London Bridge is Falling Down”, however, the London Bridge itself does not holds it value.

Drinking is a social issue lasted for decade, with different kind of form. The worst of all is Drink Driving. It not only endanger the person who drink but passersby as well. My insiration is Karma, what will drink driving leads you to. “If you Drink Drive, you Die.� I combine the resting place of a car and a person, and created this poster. It not only shows the coffin and the parking space, but as well as the alcohol drink by using the signature of a beer, the foam on top. It displayed 3 aspect with 2 element delivering 1 message, do not ,ever, drink and drive.
