Xiaotong Mao, Tangsound
I am keen to create an app that can introduce Chinese traditional music and musical instruments. Chinese traditional music is absolutely stunning, but we do not have many chances to deliver the full expression to others because of the intricate combination of emotion and content. The ancient literati embraced the ambition to make a great and wealthy country since the Tang dynasty. They criticized and praised the policy of ancient China by writing poetry and writing songs. Some of the literati such as LiBai express his aspiration about being an authority and gaining the benefits for civilians through poems and songs. However, young people are likely to pay more attention to Pop music and ignore traditional music. Thus, it is necessary for our generation to share this culture with others in an attractive way. So, I decided to make an interactive website to build a connection between Chinese traditional culture and young people, which could learn the histories and production process of the traditional instruments through this website.

Designing a new smartphone concept using the only Illustrator in a semi- realistic style. The task required the phone design should be different from existing smartphones but still fits into the current aesthetic for mobile devices. The trend of phone design is the full-screen display, so I decided to put the camera on the display screen to emphasise the interface. Moreover, I put one small screen on the back of the phone showing the time and messages.
