This work was inspired by the recent social phenomenon - “shopping rush” of milk pow-der in Hong Kong. Acutally I always regard current issues as my inspiration. In my opin-ion, some shoppers purposely created milk powder shortage and made the local mothers and babies suffered from it which was unac-ceptable for me. In fact, I created this piece for blaming those shoppers
In the work, I colored the hand holding milk powders closely olive green which is an ab-normal color for human skin. The hand looks dominant and holds a funnel which fills a lot of milk powder cans but he just squeezes out two drops of milk. The baby looks emaciated and he can open the mouth and wait some-one to feed him only.
Initally I drafted the work that the baby lies on banknotes; however, I thought it was enough that the illustration just contains the hand with milk powder cans and the baby.
Actually I just used normal skin color for the hand but I thought that could not strongly em-phasize my scope of the work, then I aban-doned using light colors but dark and low sat-uration instead. I believed the combination of purple and olive green can project a surreal image.

日本のために祈るPRAY FOR JAPAN
prayforJapan
Since I am fond of Japanese culture and the country,
I was really sorry to hear that the natural disaster
happened in 2011. Although it passed 2 years, I would
never forget the scenes I watched through the televi-
sion screen. The poster aims at reminding people the
recovery is not over yet and treasuring what we have
at the moment.
i.I used the country flag as concept and piled the cherry blossom petals which I drew by Illustrator to imitate the flag. The reason I used cherry blossom petals as I believed cherry blosom would be the best symbol of the country.
ii.When the spring is coming, the cherry blossom will be in full bloom. Spring represents spiritedness and the meaning of cherry blossom is life. I hope this poster could tell people that Japanese are striving to rebuild and they still need our help.
Since the beverage’s selling point is providing people energy, I and my group members thought about the idea of
tree. We believed tree is a symbol of life and we planned to pile the beverage bottles with different colors as a tree.
In some sense, we would like to promote the beverage could bring us a colorful life as the tree did.
We also personified the beverage such as adding hands, eyes to make them lifelke and imply that people would be
more energetic after drinking.
# The inital poster. However we thought it was not like a tree enough then we tried to improve.
v i t a m i n w a t e rc a m p a i g nThis is my individual + group project in Media Production Workshop last semester and I chose Glaceau Vitamin Water as our client.
e s s e n t i a lThe poster above is my individual project. I used blue and orange color to represent energy. I was inspired by doll grab-bing machine and constructed an idea that the beverage is taken out from the orange sea to emphasize the orange-fla-voured beverage.
A famous Japanese song reminds me that
women resemble flowers: they have dif-
ferent looks and characteristics and most
importantly, they are both beautiful, unique
and it is not worth comparison. The work
is inspired by one of the covers from “Flair
Magazine” which took a woman as bud;
however, I used flowers as a woman’s hair.
Some flowers were found from the Internet
but some were created by myself. Initially
those flowers were my daily practices of
using mesh tool in Illustrator. I found their
usage later and blended with the idea of
work. The dispersion and motion blur effect
are intended to construct the imperfection
and feeling of floating in the wind. Noth-
ing is perfect in the world and I think the
uniqueness is important than everything. I
hope every woman could stay strong and
be themselves.
