RESHAPE Design makes my life warm and energetic. It is one of the most powerful forces in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not, and it can also be inspiring, empowering and enlightening. So this portfolio is a record of all the significant moments of my design process and the finished pieces including my whole concept. I’m used to viewing things from a new perspective to discover their new art images. Reshape it, redesign it, and use design's power to solve a practical problem as always, since design makes life easier.

image treatments. Approach: Recreate a visual system for the Ferry building Bike Rentals which is conveniently located in the San Francisco Ferry Building. I have designed a system of elements working together to provide unity, consistency, and flexibility. Also I’ve created their own color system to provide even greater, powerful, complementary colors that are really impressive to viewers.

COURSE: Type Experiments SUBJECT : Black Journey INSTRUCTOR: Lian Ng YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2014
Objective: This project will explore existing modern typographical ideas, techniques and attempts to expand our typographical range. We have to investigate the communication of content and the

emotional qualities of text. Approach: It’s a series of 9 posters along with a cover, an introduction, and a colophon sheet. The subjects of the posters are open. I try to combine with color theme, different crafting materials and techniques to convey my concept—“Black Journey”. My design style focuses on organic, natural and crafting. All of the posters are typographically focused.

COURSE: Motion Graphics 1 SUBJECT : Graphic Design Thinking Finding Your Way INSTRUCTOR: Colin Sebestyen YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2016
Objective: We have three parts to finish this project; the first part of the final project is creating a Book Trailer. We have to research, choose and familiarize ourselves with the book, the second part is to submit final style frames (2—4) which are animated with sound
CATEGORIES: Video / Software TYPE OF PROJECT: DIN
and music. The third part is to create production art for the animation, using my animatic as a guide; scan-in or source imagery, preparing it for animation, animating the typography and original imagery in After Effects. The second part we create is a promo for a fictitious mobile app that helps the user with something we love to do. Approach: I have chosen the book “Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming” by Lupton, Ellen. I like the book’s content, which is about “Design Process”; how to define problems, how to get ideas, how to create form, how designers think. So I got the whole idea from the book since this book reflects the diversity of contemporary graphic design practice. My app is about traveling. I called this app “Finding your way”. I tried to clearly explain each of my frame transitions and keeping a lovely style, fresh color, trying to make nice transitions. Basically, this app encourages people to go outdoor and travel in a natural way.

Kids in the Kitchen INSTRUCTOR: David Hake
Objective: This project intends to address to the problems of parents who work all the time and don’t spend enough
YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2014
time with their kids. Either they can’t cook for their children and their children can’t always eat fast food or food from their parents leftovers before they go to
CATEGORIES: Print / Digital / Video TYPE OF PROJECT: Avenir Franklin Gothic Book
work; it isn’t fresh and healthy for little kids. Approach: The approach is to inspire parents and kids everywhere to connect in the kitchen and cook healthy meals together. We designed to inspire healthy lifelong eating habits by encouraging parents and kids to cook together. Especially to teach kids to cook and get them started on a lifetime of better eating. There’s no doubt that cooking with kids takes more time than cooking alone but when we consider how it benefits their development and learning, it makes the extra effort all the more worthwhile.

communications to varying audiences in varying ways. Approach: My concept stems from when you smell fresh cookies baking in the kitchen, you immediately remember your childhood days when your mother brought you fresh chocolate chip cookies. It’s a bit idealistic but the smell and memory are linked. Use smell to awaken your memory.
