This is the second time I visited and I took this at night time.

Potrait_Children

I took all this picture when the time I traveled to London.
I love the the last picture in black and white.

The Chinese Kite

Descendants of the Dragon

Chinese believe that dragon brings prosperity while it appear
and some represent that good luck. Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods. Many chinese people often use the term "Descendants of the Dragon" as a sign of ethnic identity, as part of a trend started in the 1970s when different Asian nationalities were looking for animal symbols for representations.

I wish I had the powerful strength which dragon have, I doesn't fear for challenge, and I want to make a good achievement for myself, and for my family.

Emotional expression can occur with or without self awareness.The design is a figure and variety of feeling, thought, and behavior. It's a subjective experiences, which associated with mood,temperament, personality and also disposition. Colour study been applied into the poster.
Colour, because of its emotional effect upon us, is largely responsible for the atmosphere of a home.

2 legs, neck,belly, adomen and etc.

Essence of Life. Emotion

it's the essence of life. Any idea for me?
I need more idea.

L, Be Tough

L, Be Tough
(Typography Sculpture)

L is the assignment I gave to myself on the holiday before i started my new life and study in Birmingham , United Kingdom. It based on the material from my family business, Metal and Recycle. Laon was the family name given for us, and the letter L is created to be tough and ready to take any challenges in the upcoming life, never give up easily, specially for my family .

Be Tough

生活。態度

聽歌，一定要聽古典樂？
讀書，一定要念Dan Brown？
吃飯，一定是高級料理？
咖啡，一定是Starbuck？

常常問我自己， 究竟怎樣的生活態度能夠滿足自己？
哪甚麼樣的生活態度適合自己呢？身邊的人常常說的簡單生活，真的那麼簡單和容易？
那怎麼樣的生活態度又滿足你呢？

這些一定是要有家庭背景的人類才能擁有的？這些才算上生活態度？
坦白的說，我有自己也搞不懂的生活態度，但是我知道肚子餓了就要找食物的道理，哪怕只是一包快熟面，我也可以很開心的聽著莫札特，喝著我心愛的Nescafe，來解決我那快熟面。我想信每個人都有自己態度的哲學， 那是人生多麼美妙的一頁。只要生活不潦倒，那就可以接受了。生活態度永遠沒有富貴貧賤之分， 只看你給自己選擇了怎麼樣的一個態度。還記得，一些朋友告訴過我一個難以抹滅的“哲學”，這一切就像是打飛機一樣， 自己爽就好！哈，我找到自己的生活態度了， 你呢？

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

為了體驗自己， 我選擇面對， 身邊的一切， 人生不一定那麼愉快， 但是那一個能讓自己最好過， 卻是我們自己可以選擇的， 要了解自己生活的態度， 是否應該更加的了解自己？從了解到體會， 那會是一個很有趣的過程。為了更了解自己，我選擇到國外留學但不是流放， 哈。

這是一個從來都沒有在我童年至學院時期的想法，完全沒有幻想過的自己踏上大學生的旅程。我應該還是小學最懶惰的代表，基本上可以說是一個神話， 中學更是被各式各樣的校園活動吸引著。但一次，忽然間告訴父母， 我可以上大學嗎？父母應該也被自己的舉動嚇了一跳吧（至少我是那麼認為，哈哈）而他們也在那一瞬間答應了。沒有太多考慮，我決定自己也來當個大學生好了。我大學的生活。。才剛剛掀開序目。

我是大學生！！！

A Good Designer Advice

01: There’s no such thing as bad clients: only bad designers.
We love to blame our clients for poor work. When projects go sour, it’s always the clients — never us — who are at fault. Sure, there are bad clients. But designers treating them badly have usually turned them into bad clients. As designers, we end up with the clients we deserve.

02: The best way to learn how to become a better graphic designer is to become a client.
On the few occasions that I’ve been a paying commissioner of graphic design, I’ve learned more about being a designer than by anything else I’ve done. It’s only by commissioning graphic designers that we discover that most of us are not very good at articulating what we do and how we work. For many clients, designers seem to operate on the principle expressed by the architect hero of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead: “I don’t intend to build in order to have clients. I intend to have clients in order to build.” As part of their training, all designers should be obliged to spend a sum of their own money on graphic design.

03: If we want to educate our clients about design, we must first educate ourselves about our clients.
When I hear designers say that “we must educate our clients”, I want to break out in hives. Instead of educating our clients, we must educate ourselves in the ways of our clients. Then — and only then — will clients take us seriously.

04: If we want to make money as a graphic designer, we must concentrate on the work — not the money.
Whenever I’ve taken on design projects “just for the money,” disaster has invariably ensued. When we put money first and work second, we end up with bad work and an even worse balance sheet. This is not to say that designers shouldn’t be properly paid for their work, or that designers shouldn't be financially savvy (clients usually are). But the designer’s primary motive has to be the quality of the design and not the size of the fee. When the focus is on the money, the work is usually poor.

05: For designers, verbal skills are as important as visual skills.
Since graphic design should be self-explanatory, designers might be forgiven for thinking that the need to provide a verbal rationale for their work is unimportant. Surely the work should succeed on its own merits without requiring a designer’s advocacy? True. Except there never was a client who didn’t want an explanation for every aspect of every piece of creative work they commissioned. If we can’t talk about our work in a clear, rational and objective way — free from all jargon — then we can’t be surprised when we meet with rejection.

06: Ideas usually fail not because they're bad ideas, but because they're badly presented.
The ability to present an idea is as important as the idea itself. The single most important thing we need to remember when presenting work to clients is that they are terrified at the prospect of what we are going to show them. For clients, commissioning design is like going into a furniture showroom to buy a sofa and being told by the salesperson, “Sure, I can sell you a sofa. But I can’t show it to you.” Who ever spent money on something they couldn’t see? Yet this is precisely what we ask our clients to do when they commission us.

07: “I’m a professional: I know best.”
The only designers who use this argument are unprofessional designers. Designers often say, “No one tells a doctor what to do, so why is it OK to tell me what to do?” But the myth of professional omnipotence has been debunked. We no longer accept that doctors, lawyers and plumbers have a monopoly on knowledge. Speak to any doctor and they will tell you that people come into their consulting rooms armed with information downloaded from the internet. We have long since learned to question and challenge expert opinion. Why should designers be exempt? Anyone who uses the “I’m a professional therefore you must accept what I say” argument has lost the argument.

08: “All the good jobs go to other designers.”
Not true: in fact, nearly all jobs start off as neither good nor bad. We are deluded if we think only other people get good jobs and we only get the rubble. Truth is, nearly all jobs start off the same, and our responses as designers determine the success or failure of each job. There are no good or bad projects in design, only good or bad responses. Good projects are made not found. I’ve often interviewed designers who told me they wanted to move jobs because they only got “lousy projects to work on”. Yet when they showed me what they’d been working on, they usually seemed like great jobs.

09: The best way to run a studio is to be domineering and forceful.
In fact, the opposite is true. Designers who run studios or lead teams often think they have to lead from the front. They think they have to dominate. They think they have to take credit for everything. In fact, the opposite is true. Good leaders of design teams lead from behind. They put themselves last and allow others to shine. When designers are allowed to shine, they shine more brightly.

10: If we believe in nothing, we shouldn’t wonder why no one believes in us.
In a world with no principles, people respect those who have principles. Impersonating a doormat is a poor way to be an effective graphic designer. In fact, standing up for what we believe in — ethics, morality, professional standards, even aesthetic preferences — is the only way to produce meaningful work. Of course we won’t win every time, but we will win more often than the designer who doesn't believe in anything. There are countless ways in which we can demonstrate professional integrity — the only mistake we can make is not to demonstrate any.

Footnote: Just like the amp in Spinal Tap that goes up to 11, my list of 10 paradoxes actually contains 11 items. Here is the eleventh paradox of graphic design.

11. When a client says the words — “you have complete creative freedom,”
They never mean complete creative freedom. Whatever you show them, they will find a problem with. Happens every time.
