Website Design

ABOUT

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has nurtured thousands of outstanding student-athletes over the years, and now has over 400 athletes in 18 sports events. CityU is “One of the Best Universities in Sports” among 13-member tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, and the only University that has captured Double Champions for 9 times Grand Slam in the USFHK Sports Competitions.

The “We Care for CityU Sports” campaign aims to nurture the growth of their full-time CityU student-athletes in personal, academic, and career development, by providing adequate support through volunteer services and donation to them. All supporters of the University are cordially invited to take part in the campaign.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The motif of “three.js” animation is inspired by the polygon of CityU logo element, with a vibrant colour scheme adapted from the corporate identity system. The motion graphics create a visual metaphor of “Converging the dynamic of sports teams” as well as the connotation of “Every little makes a mickle”. Finally, it illustrates an objective of encouraging the myriad alumni to continually support the student-athletes through donations and volunteer services.

China Int’l Import Expo 2018

Interactive Magic Book Visual Design

ABOUT

On November 10, 2018, the first ever China International Import Expo (CIIE) concluded in Shanghai. The expo brought together thousands of Chinese buyers with foreign companies and government representatives looking to export to the country. First announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in May 2017, the expo marked the latest of a series of efforts to reverse global sentiments on China’s trade practices and to promote China as an open and free market.

The Hong Kong Exhibition Area set up by the Hong Kong SAR Government received overwhelming response from visitors from all over the world, effectively promoting Hong Kong's role as a strategic gateway and important hub connecting China to the world.

DESIGN THEME

Themed "Hong Kong In", the Hong Kong Exhibition Area was located inside the China Pavilion of the Country Pavilion for Trade and Investment. Rich in content, the exhibition introduced Hong Kong's strengths, major infrastructure projects, popular tourist attractions, and innovation and technology products and inventions. The visitors could also learn about Hong Kong's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development, its contributions to the reform and opening up of the country, and the implementation of "one country, two systems" and the Basic Law.

With the use of various multimedia technologies, such as a transparent projection touch screen, mixed reality, holograms, 3D mapping, an interactive magic book and a naked eye 3D display, visitors could view the exhibition content in an interactive way.
