13, 23 是一组将散文诗和平面设计结合的实验海报。这个海报的灵感来自于自己在13岁时写的一首诗《平安夜》。今年我23岁,在美国研究生毕业的这一年,我的表达方式和价值观都发生了许多变化,它是我23岁设计思考和表达力的一个总结,也是我在读书生涯中唯一一次个人向项目,我不需要考虑“潜在客户”,也不需要“解决问题”,忠于自我表达成为了这个项目的目标。并且它给了我一个机会去创造“23,33”,甚至“33,43”。
在创造这个海报的过程中,我花了10%的时间来观察13岁时我写的诗,60%的时间来完成23岁的散文诗,剩下30%的时间通过组合图形设计来探索表达自我。我参考了别人对我的印象(我的研究生同学描述我是绑成蝴蝶结的丝带,但我并不是一个柔软的人),于是我参考丝带的形状来设计这组海报的标题“13,23”,并且把它的身体做的偏硬朗。在做这个海报的这段时间里,我对于受到平面设计中的可读性和实验性启发,有意图的安排了一个阅读顺序。我将可读性优先安排给了一些很客观的,描述我的经历的关键词和图形。
我非常享受写诗歌和做这个海报创作过程,主观的输出越多,作品的性格就会越强。我认为,设计师需要保持阅读和创作来让自己敏感和无可替代。
13, 23 is a set of experimental posters that combine graphics and poems. This idea is inspired by a poem I wrote when I was 13 years old, the tile is "Christmas Eve". Now, I am 23 years old, my expression and world value have changed a lot since I finished my grad school in the U.S in 2021. It is a visual expression about my design thinking and personal feelings. I love that I don't need to think about "potential clients" or "problem-solving", but rather to be true to my feelings in the most of the time. And it gives me a chance to create "23, 33" or even "33, 43".
In the process of creating this poster, I spent 10% of the time observing the poem of 13, 60% of the time completing the poem I wrote of 23, and the remaining 30% of my time exploring self-expression through graphic designs. I referred to other people's impressions of me (my fellow in grad school described me as a ribbon tied in a bow, and i pretty like the shape part of this idea), so I designed the title of the poster "13, 23" by referring to the shape of a ribbon, and made it physically rigid.
I really enjoyed writing the poem and doing this poster creation process; the more subjective the output, the stronger the character of the piece will be. I believe that a good designer should keep reading and feeling the world to make themselves sensitive and irreplaceable.
