Fantasia

2020, Hong Kong

Design Director: Woody Chau

Art Director: Can Chan

Designer: Rita Leung

Organised by The Faculty of Design and Environment, THEi (Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong), the Graduation Exhibition is a showcase for students’ final year projects, outspeaking their statement without and beyond words. “Fantasia”, a free-flowing piece of composition with no fixed form, is chosen as the keyword to conclude the daredevil spirits of the 5th THEi Graduates. Fresh and honest, wild and free, edgy and impactful, the newers’ works establish order in chaos, break rules and constraints, and travel free in the world of design. Following the “Fantasia” theme, the key visual of the Exhibition is a fearless attempt to blend elements from many forms and possibilities: Colour blocks, Stripes, Vortexes, Pixel, Radiation, Colour gradients, Iridescence, 2D, 3D, Reality/Illusion, Abstractness, Innovation and Blank-leaving. When various components encounter many different techniques, while meticulous design details meet endless possibilities, the vigorous combination of diversity shines through the design and narrates itself. The dynamics of key visual is most outstanding in the event booklet – with multicoloured hot stamping on the cover, each way of seeing provides readers a brand-new perspective. The book dividers graphically underline individual personalities of each subject, aligning with the free rhythms of the cover.
