“The event poster is closely related to the content of the event. For example, the poster for an electronic music club should be designed according to the style and theme of the music, it should be pioneering and abstract, but with an obvious and accurate key message.”...

“A poster in a campaign needs to consider its primary and secondary relationship with the visual identity of the whole campaign. Whether it is the key visual of the campaign or an auxiliary material, the setting of elements in the poster will be modular and systematic. They can be split or reorganized and maintain visual consistency. The poster designed separately...

Why do you like screen-printing? “Unlike digital printing, you can use special colours such as neon or metallic inks.

Something like silk-screened murals. It is my big dream.”...

Why do you like to make prints the way that you do? “To produce a print, all we have to do is click on the computer, or even a phone. But print-making brings you through a process, from designing it, how you layer the colours, how to align the different layers and choosing and mixing the right colours, etc. To...
