Background of the exhibition poster:
On April 6th, 2010, I received the email from Lech and Maria that invites me to be the curator of the China Posters Exhibition of the 22nd IPB. In order to arrange a young China designer poster exhibition, I'm supposed to introduce those excellent new faces that are not well known in public yet. For this exhibition, I'd figured out the poster design for a long time, while the business trips began from Berlin to Beijing, from Beijing to Taiwan, from Taiwan to Hangzhou. During this exhausting trip, I had no good creativity conquering myself - not until the day I enjoyed a meal together with several friends in a restaurant in Hangzhou. I'm moved by the waitress who is quite hardworking, happy, and healthy. However, I'm familiar with this kind of face, which represents optimistic China - a face full of business energy similar to graphic design in China. In the process of developing business, China has established its own feature - everything is optimistic, hardworking and thriving. Hence, I rent the building where there is a photographed bridal couture on the Hangzhou shop street, and hire a young photographer for bridal couture as well as his make-up, to shoot the face I met. I'd like to make use of the atmosphere and characters in contemporary China. However, when Ms. Chen Weigai, who is working for the restaurant, came to the appointment, she still thinks this situation is fraud, so she took one boyfriend and three girlfriends with her - it shocks me indeed. And she calls her mother by mobile every 20 minutes to tell her the situation.
