FindYing love in NYC FindYing love in NYC

One of the winners in 2011 Anno Books International Student Design Competition (illustration category)

This book is about me (Ying) trying to find love in NYC. It illustrates what I expected before I got to New York and how it is really like after I landed. How I started feeling bad about myself till realizing that I need to look for love inside of myself - I have to love myself first before anyone else could love me!

This book is still in prograss, belows are the pages I have done (without the text)

These cards are printed on high quality pearl paper with the origami shapes pre-cut, folding lines pre-pressed.

First Attempt of Calligraphy Holiday Card First Attempt of Calligraphy Holiday Card

I was attending a calligraphy class at Cooper Union and at the end of the course, all the students were asked to make a holiday card with their writing. I have written more than 15 of these and felt that I was at a point where I was either going to lose my mind or my hand!!! But I am really happy with the result after another 10 hours of retouching :) Happy Holidays!!! 2013 Calligraphy, Drawing, Game Design
Yinglish Vol 1 - Asian Stereotype Yinglish Vol 1 - Asian Stereotype

This is my first "yinglish" collection which is based on Asian stereotypes. I hope people can get some fun out of it and not take it too seriously. I used a lot of traditional Asian pattern in this collection, not only to refer to the Asian stereotype theme but also to contribute to my parents who have influenced me with their background of traditional Asian art.

Bloom - the shelf that grows Modular Shelf -The Shelf ThatGrows

This project is inspired by the modular system. I created this set base on a circle. After developing the shelf system, I names it "BLOOM" because when you are building this, the shelf is like a plant that grows and bloom. I have also created some promotion pieces to support the project. 2011 / New York Creative Direction, Graphic Design, Industrial Design

2011 Pratt Show Pratt show

This is my graduation show for my Master Degree in communication design. I felt that what made me different is that I am not only interested in commercial arts, I also am attracted to fine art and illustration. So I decided to present my board like an art gallery - I put all my work in it's individual frame then layout the presentation. I am extremely happy with the result!!! 2011 @ Manhattan Center / NY Exhibition Design, Graphic Design, Illustration
