Yuting Lang (Angus) (he/him)
As a graphic designer, I have a great passion for publication design. I am motivated by the opportunities inherent in graphic design to engage audiences with new ideas and different perspectives on existing content. Challenge their understanding and come up with new ideas that encourage questioning and reflection.
During the GSA stage, I not only continued to explore and expand the role of paper media. Moreover, I paid attention to the communication funcations and emotional value of physical media. At the same time, more attempts will be made in publication design based on current digital technology.
