Viewpoints Exhibition Visual Identity

Viewpoints

Viewpoints is the visual identity of a street furniture design exhibition held in Tainan. The identity connects the 400 year history of Tainan with contemporary culture and alleyway life. Hand drawn illustrations and simple pen style outlines show people, objects and spaces in daily interaction. The color palette is taken from local architecture, including red brick, pale yellow walls and warm accent tones. The design is applied to posters, guidebooks, signage, social media and digital installations, and each format is adjusted to keep the presentation consistent.

Bellamy Sans Typeface

Dimension in the Shadows Calendar

Dimension in the Shadows

Dimension in the Shadows is a desk calendar made from black paperboard cut by laser. The set contains twelve monthly cards, each with a different design. Every card is mounted in a slit of a small wooden cube. Dates for Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays are cut through, while weekdays are half cut. Each abstract figure recalls a scene of the changing seasons in Japan. Seen against the light, the sharp outline reads as a paper sculpture. The cast shadow changes shape as the light moves, adding quiet interest to daily life.
