Meet The First Year Students: Jiaying Mao

Sep 20 2018

Each year at the start of the first semester we ask our new students to say a few words about one or more favorite projects.

Designer: Jiaying Mao

Image one: My undergraduate major is product design, as a music lover, in this project I designed an electro visual string instrument which is portable and versatile.

Image two: Course work of logo design. My version of 12 constellations, the inspiration is from the image of occult and myth.

Image three: The lyric card I designed from several medieval-folk songs I loved, inspiration derives from the magical “Book of Kells” and the works of Mucha.
