It’s actively updating! ︎ @danqi.typo This journey started after one year of grad school drowning myself in emerging technologies and suffering from ux job hunting, where design is less cared and creativity is a fault. Flash back thinking about what drove me to design, it’s my great passion for aesthetics, my desire to surprise people with my creativity to show them my inner self. Plus typography class in undergrad is my favourite even with harsh criticism, old assignments still give me nostalgia. Since I have so much time in the summer, why couldn’t I upgrade those old days? Then I started to apply all my skills to create kinetic typography works. https://danqi.io/02typeface Sat, 21 Sep 2024 02:29:52 +0000 Danqi Qian https://danqi.io/02typeface ︎︎︎ <img width="8000" height="4500" width_o="8000" height_o="4500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f74fb5a89111972595fa345af8ae2f5d360791bb3c9928744d76f1d6472e5b4a/website.png" data-mid="218421290" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f74fb5a89111972595fa345af8ae2f5d360791bb3c9928744d76f1d6472e5b4a/website.png" /> Leek.otf / 2020Experimental Typeface&nbsp; Glyph, Illustrator The idea of creating my own typeface poped up half way of my kinetic summer journey, I was questioning about the point of kinetic typography. Why do we need to move the type? Couldn’t find an answer. Out from advertising intentions, designers use the rhythm in motion or text content to express a feeling or better show the typeface. I believe designing a typeface could help me understand kinetic typography more and to find a better answer. Besides, I got increasingly interested in calligraphy fonts, I have to do it! https://danqi.io/03purellwonderland Sat, 21 Sep 2024 02:29:52 +0000 Danqi Qian https://danqi.io/03purellwonderland ︎︎︎ Purell Wondeland / 2020 3D Rendered Video Unreal, Cinema 4D Purell Wonderland is a 3D rendered video depicting virtual organic park designed for making fun of social or behavioral responces happened in early period of Covid19 quarantine. When corona virus lockdown first started, the whole world was panicking and people didn’t know how to cope with such an uncontrollable, dangerous and fully closed social environment. In such a point the designer me myself got bored for staying fully indoors in the first two weeks of quarantine, and was deeply touched by the new-born flowers in a quarantine walk. I believe our connection with the nature matters, even though it’s virtual. Then Purell Wonderland was born to provide exposure to nature with a little humor to ease our ubiquitous anxiety. The landscape filled with graphical strokes is in the shape of hand sanitizer, the essential item in this situation, and could only be recognized when reach to a higher place.
