Chang'an Still

Ancient China's Xi'an was called Chang'an Xi'an. In the Chang'an Still Illustration Series, designers envision the reappearance of the scenes recalling the stories that happened in the magical land in ancient times. Look at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the distance, feel the city that never sleeps at night, see the magnificent Daming Palace, see the ancient city wall with a sense of story, and there are so many scenic spots people can't wait to see. The illustration series is filled with the infinite charm of Xi'an.

Muse

Muse is an experimental design project studying the musical perception of the human through three installation experiences which provide different ways to experience music. The first is purely sensational using thermo-active material, and the second display the decoded perception of musical spatiality. The last is a translation between music notation and visual forms. People are encouraged to interact with the installations and explore the music visually with their own perception. The main message is that designers should be aware of how perception affects them in practice.

Fck 2020

Fck 2020 is a table calendar for the year 2021. The calendar is produced as a leporello, a long sheet folded into twelve panels. It can be kept flat and browsed like a book, or placed on a desk in the shape of a circle or other forms. Each month carries a short wish for the new year, told through polychrome modernist graphics and minimal illustrations. The intent is to turn the page on a difficult year with humour and imagination. Printing is digital on 240 gram white paper. The folded size is 169 by 240 millimetres.

Cut and Paste

This project toolkit, Cut and Paste: Preventing Visual Plagiarism, addresses a topic that can affect everyone in the design industry and yet visual plagiarism is a topic that is seldom discussed. This could be due to the ambiguity between taking reference from an image and copying from it. Therefore, what this project proposes is to bring awareness to the grey areas surrounding visual plagiarism and position this at the forefront of conversations around creativity.

Madame Butterfly

Madame Butterfly is a series of opera posters. Each poster shows an iconic portrait of a singing woman as the central figure of the opera plot and a symbol of passion. The series covers operas such as Madame Butterfly, Tosca and Norma, and reflects the tragic and dependent role of women in their librettos. Every composition presents the final scene, the culmination of the story. The design draws on minimal shapes, expressive painting and the Memphis style, with open colors and strong contrast. The posters are printed in A1 size on carton paper.
