Assembled from a cardboard packing piece, a piece of paper, and a mitten from Goodwill.

Mr. Shen - Stain


Mr. Shen here.

I've always wanted to try this little "art exercise" that I read about online. Essentially you take a teabag and drop it on an index card. Then you illustrate something out of the blotch you get.

Apparently I came up with a clown, a man with large hair, an old timey water pump and a woman running away.

Interpret my visions, sir.

The freedom to fail on your own terms.

Hu - Rebrand - Prius


To tell you the truth, I wasn't aware that the rebrand was supposed to be a reimagining of a corporation's products/services. So I simply revamped a logotype for the Toyota Prius. While I am quite fond of the Prius, there are some visual issues that could be improved. The new logo is intended to communicate the duality of the old and new in the car's technology. Serif with Sans serif. All in a dynamic diagonal slash. The original logotype is included below.

Mr. Shen - Branding

Mr. Shen here.

The idea was to take a brand we already know and rebrand it. You know, like making H&R Block a children's toy company or something.

All I'm curious about now is whether it'll make me play like Jordan or Tiger Woods.

Hu - Searching for Faith - Vital Absence


I've been doing a lot of thinking about my overall direction, and I'm observing how certain lifestyle and aesthetic choices I've made (or stumbled into) haven't brought me the satisfaction that I thought they would bring. It makes me wonder if there are different things I should be looking into.
