Report Materials
PosterPrompted by a frustrating calligraphy exam experience, I reported the incident to the authorities. As I penned down the report, I found myself contemplating the remarkable resilience of a single sheet of paper.
It withstands pen strokes, crumpling, printing, and cutting, each imperfection carrying its unique significance. Harnessing these intrinsic ‘paper’ attributes, I integrated them creatively into a comprehensive report.

100 Graphic Design Diaries
Experimental, TypographyDuring the final three months of my study in the UK, I crafted 100 graphic visual diaries using exercise paper. As a graphic design student, I aimed to capture my observations and experiences in life, along with design concepts, through these visual diaries.
I particularly enjoyed hand-painted typefaces, each carrying a dual significance. The first message rested on the literal meaning, while the second unveiled a narrative woven into the creation process.
