F2F Class Notes (Nicholas) [S]

If you have time write a few sentences about how YOU differentiate YOURSELF from other people in society. What makes you special or how do you make yourself different (in a good way) as compared to other Chinese people? What makes you unique? Or you can write about how have you changed as a person since high school?

What makes the theater community unique in your opinion?

Theater drew me in because there are a lot of interactions in the show the show is very interactive and thats different from the other shows. The actors and actresses are Have a nice looking – they are dancers as well/too so this show is not only a drama show but they also dance a lot too can have a lot of dance – and a lot of – this story is like Hitchcock – it’s a mastery masterful story – it’s very similar to like a scary movie.

We can talking about art because I am a drawing people with pencil. I’m an artist and I draw with pencil.

Try and eliminate unnecessary VERBS – for example: “can have a lot of dance” – In this sentence you have three verbs (can, have, and dance) – you only need one “dance”.

We can talk about drawing – about art – and maybe make a friendship. Typically/Usually, we talk about drawing, about art, and sometimes this turns into a friendship.

What do you think defines a “good design” versus a poor design. When you’re creating creative work – or looking at different art – what – to you – makes “good design”? What does good design look like? What are the characteristics?

First, good design makes some happiness for some people or for some persons. First, good design makes people feel happy. A good/strong brand design can make the better improves the value for the brand of the company in the future. For example, Like a company’s logo…like TV shows…or other commercial designs…because the brand of the company is like the clothes for the person a person’s clothing, for example Coca Cola‘s the brand color is red, it’s like a lady in red, we can feel the passion, the passional. And it will make some different [differentiate] it from the other brands like Pepsi Cola.

How do you differentiate yourself from the competition (all the other graphic designers)?

I differentiate myself in a few ways: 1) i focus only on pencil drawings

T-Mall is very interesting because it’s so young – and it is need me make some crazy ideas – more energies. When I worked for T-Mall my imagination ran wild – T-Mall is a company with great energy – and this makes for a very creative environment.
