Hi There!


My name is Yaquan Wei, a graphic designer based in Shenzhen, with a strong interest in branding, packaging, typography and UI/UX. I graduated from the Academy of Art University with a master’s degree in San Francisco.

I’m curious about design and the world around me, which makes me keen to explore things beyond their surfaces, to explore subtle details as well as the overall situation. I take delight to try new things and get design inspiration from unexpected sources. I hope that you can see the world through my perspective reflected in my works.

我对设计和周围的世界感到好奇，这使我热衷于探索事物表面之外的事物，探索微妙的细节以及整体情况来获得灵感，并通过每个灵感找到解决问题的决心。

NING's Experimental Films
实验影片


This is a work booklet I designed for documentary director, Jiawei Ning. In the design, it takes Jiawei Ning’s experimental video works as the creative source to find the answers to society and life. Of which, the film “Awaken” takes the fishermen in the director’s hometown as the theme, and strives to explore the subtle relationship between man and nature. The sea surface is blocked by frozen ice, and the film discusses the issue of the survival status of fishermen through a fishing boat waiting for the ice sea to melt and go fishing on the sea. The full film has no any dialogue, and the viewing is relatively single and cold. The objective and subjective shots are interlaced, and the ethereal working sound on site directly stimulates the viewer’s seeing and hearing. In typesetting, I regarded the text information related to the film as image processing, and placed it around. Under the text, a marine fish was placed in the red fishing basin. The text is arranged on the fishing basin like a fishing net. I convey a sense of “Freeze” with such composition, which echoes the current situation of fishermen who are restricted from fishing due to the freeze on the sea surface in the plot.


这是一本我为纪录片导演宁佳伟设计的作品册子。在设计中，以宁佳伟的实验影像作品为创作源点，寻找对社会与人生的解答。其中，影片《惊蛰》以导演家乡的渔民为题材，力求探索人与自然的微妙关系。海面被冻冰封住，影像通过一艘等待冰海融化出海捕鱼的渔船来探讨渔民生存现状的议题。全片无任何对白，观看相对单一、冷峻。客观与主观镜头交错，现场空灵的作业声音直接刺激观者的视听。在排版中，我把影片相关文字信息当作图像处理置于四周，文字之下，一只海鱼放置于红色渔盆之中。文字排布在渔盆之上如同渔网一般，我这样的构图去传达出了一种‘冰封’之感，呼应了剧情中因海面冰封而被限制打渔的渔民现状。
