Hong Kong dialect

Design expression (re-designing the Chinese words):
1) photo+ graphic
2) illustration+ graphic
3) simply designing the stroke (just like the way of designing chi-typo)
4) only graphic (pictogram)
5) pop-up (but have to design the words first)
6) texture (different paper, materials…; also have to design the words first)

Design process:
1) definition, meaning & concept of each word
2) finding the visual images, mood and action of that meaning of words (from photos & historical reference)
3) visualizing the words in the terms of the above design expression methods
4) testing (designing lots to choose)
5) evaluating & choosing
