Huiqian Wu '14, Graphic Design

As a designer, I believe in the limitless possibilities of graphic design, so when I’m making work, I’m trying to push the boundaries of what is considered Graphic Design.

I do graphic design using the idea of “dimension” by making work using 3D software and working with installation. My differentiated approaches to work are connected through the continuous study of space relationships and the balance between conflict and harmony of the various elements. Through mixing flat with 3-dimensional, real with imagined, I am trying to create a new kind of image space through which to communicate.

At the same time, “imperfection” is another desired element in my work. I believe that perfect things are complete and therefore isolated, however, since I would like the various elements in my works to both support and agitate each other and generate movement through difference, imperfection has become a quite important feature in my work. I use stretched fonts and some rough design aspects like Photoshop presets, trying to prove that if using them in a provocative way, one can still make good and professional works. Finally with these ideas, my work will hold together as an installation and it will push the power of every single piece of work toward the potential of graphic design to move to a new level.
