WHO
  • Have been really interested in graphic designers has their own fashion brand. I appreciated how they incorporated their designs onto clothings. 

  1. Verdy
  • Japanese 
  • graphic designer 
  • Girls don’t cry 
  • Wasted youth
  • His career path is exactly what I want mine to be 
  • I love his cession aesthetic and how his design ideas were then transferred onto clothing brands
  • collaborated with different brands 
  • Really interesting that his English is not that good but then he can still be this successful and collaborating with international brands like UNIQLO

  1. @Jerryhahaa, 
  • Aka DJ FRECKLES
  • Multimedia artist 
  • Based in hk
  • Love how he adds texture on his design 
  • focuses on advocating independent mind-set of individuals

  1. @cashmerepullover

  1. Jujupradier 
  • independent artist (ic director)
  • branding and graphic
  • Based in Hong Kong 
  • Prints designs on t shirts 
  • logos, brand identities, print solutions, business cards, digital solutions, websites 
  • i have been to his first exhibition in Hong Kong 
  • Strong and bold aesthetic with gradient and grain textures 

I am also really interested in activism and social movements. As Hong Kong is in a really chaotic situation right now, I really appreciate designers who are willing to express their feelings towards the movement through their work. This is a quite dangerous thing to do as they might get arrested. Their work not only explains the situation in Hong Kong in a sarcastic way, but also helps to spread information worldwide to let everyone in the world know how insane the situation actually is. 

  1. zine_coop

I am also quite interested in graphic designers who create work that are in custom illustration style with 3d shapes and geometric shapes. They look really neat and tidy which makes the design easy to understand and comfortable to look at. At the same time they have a lot of small details which attract audience to stare at their work just to look at every detail of the work. 

  1. @angelamiuz
  • School of Visual Arts 
  • majoring in Graphic design 
  • Graphic Designer, illustrator, freelancer
  • Illustration based graphic designer 
  • Geometrics 


Bold, artistic, bright style creatives also caught my attention. The bursts of colour, DIY shapes, patterns and the remunerable efforts to disregard the white page of an artboard really interests me and that is exactly what I want my design style to be, incoporated with nostalgic elements and visual codes of bygone eras to convey important messages and define the future.
