Zhangyan Country Living Festival

Zhangyan Country Living Festival is an exhibition space created for a rural event in Shanghai. The layout is formed from old shipping containers that are staggered, stacked, interlaced and rotated to shape varied thematic areas. One group of containers encloses an area for forums, while another group defines an area for a marketplace. Local discarded resources such as wood, straw and reeds are also used. The visual identity follows the Memphis style and abstracts local motifs of mountain, water, fish and bridge. The activity space covers 5000 square meters.

Space Paradox

Space Paradox is a conceptual video about the nature and limits of space. The film uses three world forms as its background: the spatial world of entities, the multidimensional world of fractals, and the world of logic and human consciousness. The transformation and overlap of the three forms present a dialectic between entity and vacuum, space and consciousness. The starting point is the question of the edge of space raised by Archytas, together with theories of potential and real infinity. Space Paradox also includes a creative expression of space graphics.

134340 is an animated music video created as a fan made project for a Korean pop song of the same name. The song title refers to the asteroid number of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Simple geometric forms and keyframe animation at 30 frames per second are used. The flat cel shading art style was produced entirely in the software Cinema 4D.

BSTN Raffle

The task was to design and produce an action figure for a Nike shoe. Since this shoe combines a white snakeskin design with bright green elements, it was clear that the action figure would be a contortionist. Designers sketched and optimized the figure in a very short time as an action figure in the style of the well-known action heroes. Then they designed a small comic with a story and produced this figure in 3D printing with high-quality packaging.

Together Better

Together Better is a mobile application designed to improve leisure outings with friends. Plans can be made, meeting points can be set, and navigation to a rendezvous is offered within one application, so users do not need to switch between several separate applications. Four sections organize the experience: Play, Location, Plan and Information. Shared moments and past outings can also be browsed. The visual design uses the Neomorphism style, also called Soft User Interface, to reduce the digital feeling of information about real places.
