Hello World! I'm Chun-Yi Lu, a 29-year-old Graphic Designer and you can call me "Eight". I graduated from a private university of science and technology and graduated with a bachelor's degree in visual communication design from the "Night Department".
I am currently a graphic designer at BaHaus Design Studio, I have Asperger's which allows me to see my beloved work from a different and unique perspective. This creates limitless conceptual blueprints for my hometown.
In fact, I spent a total of eight years in college, and for the first four years, I was unable to adapt to the original industrial management course, which made me wonder how I could stand on my own even though I was drawing and doodling almost every day. At that time, I skipped school every day because I couldn’t understand the industrial management course.
However, one wonderful night, I heard a voice clearly in my ears: "Oh! Don't you like to draw? What are you going to do after studying? "Strange to say, because of that voice, I changed my mind and immediately changed to the Department of Visual Communication Design. I work very hard to realize my dream of becoming a designer.
This is my first MUSE Design Awards and I have only registered two concept works:
A) Reconstruction of Taoyuan City Emblem Identity.
B) Shimen Dam Brand Concept Identity Plan.
Both concept works won silver awards in the conceptual category! The first is the Reconstruction of Taoyuan City Emblem Identity which is a unique concept emblem designed for my hometown with my identity as a Taoyuan person which represents the era of Taoyuan people's humble attitude, ethnic equality and harmony.
The Shimen Dam Brand Concept Identity Plan centers around the Shimen Dam Scenic Area, which was previously the largest reservoir in the Far East. It draws inspiration from the challenges faced in the past and captures the sentiments and emotions of the people.
In terms of vision, color, and concept, it captures the breath-taking sensation of gazing out at from the Shimen Dam, as well as the delightful feeling of leisure and relaxation while enjoying the scenic surroundings. This conceptual brand identity plan has been crafted to encompass these experiences. I'm eager to introduce these two concept works, both deeply connected to showcase my hometown to the global audience.
A) I can see many aspiring designers and dreamers who are waiting to build dreams.
B) The joy of dreaming and designing for dreamers.
C) See dreamers smile brightly and hopefully because of the works I designed for them.
I want to express my gratitude to all the teachers who generously guided and advised me on my academic challenges. I'm also thankful for their valuable guidance in improving my design skills for special college projects.
I want to express my gratitude to my great instructors and even the tough judges. Thank you for pushing me to excel. I also appreciate those who doubted and challenged me because it's through their skepticism and challenges that I developed my skills. I'm especially thankful for the supportive voices that kept me going and prevented me from giving up. Throughout this journey, it's been my teachers and friends who've been my constant support and inspiration
