Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Kwun Tong) – Higher Diploma of Digital Media Design (Year 4)
Jan, 2006 Icorgrada Design Week (HK)
Feb, 2006 International New Designers Workshop 2006 in Nagoya
While I was designing something for the society in the workshops, I learnt what is the right and what is wrong on design and the right attitude to make an art piece. Before that, I was just focus on the visual impact and gimmicks of an artwork. Now, I know that concerning what users need is the top priority. In the future, I really want to design something to better the society or just simply make people happy. I will try my best to achieve this goal.

| Chinese New Immigrants in Hong Kong |
|
Every time in the bus when I see “Hong Kongers” staring and grumbling at the new immigrants from mainland China, I understand why they will have these actions. However, when I think it deeply, I find that it is unfair to judge the new immigrants because no one tells or educates them to keep quiet or keep place clean in public transports. They do not use to do it in where they came from. Simultaneously, some Hong Kongers even act as a “role model” so we are not qualified to criticize them. In fact, this little case shows how new immigrants are being treated by Hong Kong people.
Actually, they are only spouses and children who came to reunite with their Hong Kong husbands and fathers. They are not enemies who want to grab benefits or destroy anything in Hong Kong. It is too cruel to look down upon them while they are finding lots of difficulties to live in a totally different place. Instead, we should find ways to help in order to develop a harmonious society.
I don’t have any great design or plan to help the new immigrants in this moment but I really concern about what is happening and who needs our help in Hong Kong. I really wish I could contribute to the society with my creativity in the coming future.

“…I see myself as someone who uses his abilities to change and reshape the visual appearance of our environment in a way that will reflect the reality instead of hiding it. I see this not only a visual or professional act, but also a political one.
My work is composed of commercial, typeface and experimental design. As a commercial designer I serve the needs of my clients; as a typeface designer, I am a sort of a meditator; creating the typo/artistic images is, for me, running away from the banal, predictable demands of the market, as if playing seriously a game like a six year old boy. In this last category, the silliest, most absurd, politically incorrect and shameless the results are, the more successful I feel.” …(omission)

Design for me is a social compromise. When you try to say what someone cannot say or many want to say and may become their voice with design. When I dare to make one of them, I always investigate and make my own point of view, according to what I read, saw, feel or think may help.
Maybe they will not solve the problem, but at least I feel that I did something about it and I try to enter to poster biennials or collective expositions of a particular subject, for trying to be more with the same objective: “be only a public voice for trying to have a more fair world.“
