Hi, I’m Lu! I am a communication designer who works across print, branding, photography, illustration, and web.... I have unique insights into the composition, tone, and texture of graphic design; I am proficient at operating various graphic design software and am familiar with the entire workflow of publishing and printing. I believe that satire is the most effective tool for understanding society, and is an effective way to expose society's shortcomings and contradictions, forcing us to rethink. For example, is it necessary to use a mobile phone to call in a public place? Is public space now an online phenomenon?... Please visit my site for more information.

Is public space an online phenomenon now?
The primary goal of this book is to gain an understanding of some of the consequences of people using mobile phones in public places, as well as to examine some of the disadvantages of such use and the evolution of mobile phones for people in public areas. The target audience is primarily made up of people who are addicted to, or affected by, mobile phones. After publication, the book can be sold in select bookstores and online, or distributed for free to raise awareness about mobile phone addiction.

I chose A5 as the book's size because it is a commonly used book size. I chose Univers as the primary typesetting font. Although Univers is used far less frequently than Helvetica, its clean lines make it relatively easy to read from a distance. The typographic aspects help the publication appear more cohesive, as a whole. The book's primary colour scheme is roughly black and white, with a small amount of colour painting interspersed, which alleviates some of the colour fatigue caused by black and white.

With regards to the cover paper, I've decided on 250g double-sided coated paper, which is typically used to print the covers and illustrations of high-end books and periodicals. The ink is applied evenly across the paper surface, resulting in a pleasing colour. As a final binding, I'll use thread sewing binding, which is suitable for thicker books. The advantage of thread sewing binding is that it secures the book block with a thread. When the book is opened, the entire contents are visible.

Don Quixote - Typeplay
The D letter fits Don Quixote's image; Quixote is tall and slender with a pointy nose, beard, and moustache. Windmills, lances, his skinny horse, fat Sancho Panza on his donkey, and the Spanish countryside blended with other letters are all obvious elements. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the letters revealed the absurdity of this story.
Human museum
We have grown accustomed to viewing animals caged in zoos. In these iron cages, they follow their primitive instincts and live their own lives. The concept of the so-called "human zoo" or "human museum" is actually quite straightforward: confine human beings in cages similar to those found in zoos. The primary objective is to encourage everyone to protect animals from a transpositional standpoint.
