Dianxing Fonts - Analyzed the cover font of Dianxing, a magazine in period of the Republic of China, we found that two words are not square instead they are slim& thin rectangle. Highly summarized sketch writing process, deleted details, used triangle replaced point or line, simple geometry received more attention from complex package. We developed more according to this characteristic of letter.

Book design - Dialect CONTEXT - Different frequently used dialect habit in north and south of china expressed by visual communication.

IDEA - Varieties of Chinese, consisting of hundreds of local language varieties, the speaker’s regional or social background have their own way of pronunciation and mandarin is the largest spoken language in China. The varied manner of articulation will produce the obviously differences of acoustical feeling. I’d like to express it by graphical or visual manner.

INDIVIDUAL WORK

The book was divided in two parts, left and right.

Left part: dialect reading manner, such as repeat, exaggeration, or other language substitute. / Right part: full version of press release, dialect note mark on each page left corner

New words from radio or video are all clear pronunciation and extremely rich tone. The differences are more outstanding when these words are spoken by dialect. So I picked one page of news words, compared how these are expressed the different visual feeling through standard mandarin and local dialect.

Book design - NanHu market CONTEXT - With special local characteristics and typical feature, this project expressed whole market in visual way.

Doing research and investigation in market everyday, I decided to write a book by a typical clue of market. It’s a neighborhood open market, and also will be shut down after a week. So every where shown varieties SALE, which the letter connected the whole book. According to a day’s working hour, the book’s middle illustration being a time line, expressed the people flow and environment change during market open to close hour.

INDIVIDUAL WORK

I found lots of typical staff in the Nanhu market, especially after several days varieties daily time research.

There are plenty of useful materials, such as photos, video, sound recording; picking staff in open market; co-activates recording by market retailers; co-drawing works from children in market; etc.

Interactive design - Monster CONTEXT -The project was designed based on sound control game.

IDEA - The step is by passing computer game through sound control. Player can control the monster’s direction and broken obstacle through bullet shot. Environment will change by passing different step.

According to the design team leader, my work is setting the process of the game, including the decision making of game design style, division of work and designing communication.

The aim of this game is to relax the player’s body and mind.

Attracted player’s positive attention by sound control. game view is simple and use geometry style collection, main character is animated cartoon and simple game environment.

Brand design - Zao package CONTEXT - The project is a theme designed to emphasized the local chrematistics brand design.

IDEA - Zao- Chinese date, commonly known as "flesh jujube”.When a young lady is ready to marry, the fresh red Jujube and the embroidery insole are always use as the marriage present to the new couple, in order to have son earlier and remain a devoted couple to the end of lives.

We took to have son earlier part, because the Chinese mandarin “jujube” pronunciation is exactly same as Early as well as followed Chinese traditional marriage culture.

Comprehensive Design - Movie CONTEXT - "Starting Something"is a dynamic and growing exhibition during the Beijing Design Week 2013 presented by the guest designers from Amsterdam, "Sandberg Institute", and students of CAFA(Centre Acamdey of Fine Arts) in Beijing.

IDEA - My work is a sort of trial element analysis. We had focused on the hero in a show or a movie, and easily ignored the supporting roles. Supporting show is a vital ingredient in a movie so I chose popular movie screen print and silky blur other parts to emphasize the supporting actor/actress. Detail is the key of success. Detail is the important and essential factor in the whole design work.

TEAM WORK

Creative plan - Dashilar CONTEXT - A project cooperated with a group of Beijing Design Week to find a new perception of the "dashilar" courtyard.

IDEA - Dashilar is a typical Beijing local place, with lots of Hutong(alleyway) and Siheyuan (courtyard house). Siheyuan is a historical type of residence that was commonly found throughout China, most famously in Beijing. Wa Dang is part of traditional elements in Siheyuan, we organized an visual design activity to try to take it back of our modern life. And my job was design a whole activity, design poster and website design. Simple Signage design for activities

Book design - Fossil Book CONTEXT - Choose a book to express their topic through visual communication IDEA - We chose British writer Herriot The Lord God Made Them All . The sequel to All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and All Things Wise and Wonderful. Started from unforgettable moment, I decided the fossil can be topic because fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past.

This material has the capability to freeze in a long time, and I took photography and book noting to show the processing. Although process is disappearing, the character and noting will be never forgotten.

Intertextuality Research - OMG CONTEXT - Discussion on the new relationship between character and graphic or words and imagination IDEA - Paradoxically, typing and hand writing seems to be just opposite. But I’d like to build the new way to unite the opposites and a method or a bridge that will build two sides: the modern typing and hand writing. To invest new meaning of hand writing, I wish my design works can relief hand writing and also find another way to express one self in modern language environment. Not only explore the character; there are also another rule for everyone. That is the communication method where all the participants become a designer and the designer return the design right to participant.

INDIVIDUAL WORK

Different vocabulary, a

all people can chose individually style, and also can match with foto & pictures in phone.

Scan two dimension code can directly put the character in picture and share with friends.

Thank you Almost is never enough.

I am an enthusiastic creative person with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for design. I aspire to create design that is aesthetically pleasing while maintaining a strong conceptual grounding.

I love the excitement and the journey of developing an idea from the initial stages through to the final outcome. I appreciate and understand the importance of the creative process and feel passionately that strong research and development is the essence of any project and it is vital towards informing and underpinning a final solution.
