LI XINLIN

I was born in Jiangsu,China. I was influenced by the traditional culture of my hometown. When I grew up, I went to Korea to study. I just graduated from Seoul University, majoring in design. I’m very interested in the areas like Graphic/Typographic / Newmedia.

I’ve been painting since I was a kid, and I’ve got a mind of my own. I always enjoy the sense of accomplishment of creative praise by others and have also been yearning for the free attitude to life of artists.

If I have to choose a job to survive, I consider the job of designer is the perfect match for me, and the closest to my ideal lifestyle.

My design mainly focuses on Visual, but I don’t expect my ideas to be limited by ”software/tools”, so I’m experimenting with a variety of methods. Now I’m trying to combine new “science and technology”.

First Choose what you really like and stick to it. Enjoy the pleasures of design.

Some designers have great ideas but the operational capability limits the idea. Some designers have a good foundation, but they lack the design taste, subject to the limitations of creativity. If one can have all these abilities at once, he will become an artist rather than just a good designer.

A really good design doesn’t require a lot of additional notes. No matter where you are, a good design can be found without any bragging rights.

A good design can be as profitable as classic works of art and it can also be widely used and reproduced in public society. The two can coexist.

I hope that I can have the opportunity to do some design for the weak of the society and I’m eager to save people still living in pain through my own design.

Do something for the people around me, starting with parents.

I’ve always been thinking about how to be different, try to change my habits, break out of what I do well in and get out of my comfort zone. Meanwhile I’ve been trying to carry on the creation, combining with my own cultural background.

I think everyone can be a master of design, depending on how we find these advantages.

I don’t like to stick to a certain type or scope. I appreciate a lot of different works of designers. I enjoy a design that has much meaning, not just the surface of the gorgeousness.

Every piece of my work is like my own "child", although it may seem to others that it has a lot of shortcomings. I believe that my best work is my "next" work, and I expect my new work to be recognized.

Broaden their knowledge and be happy to do design at the same time.

From my point of view, everyone has a design behavior, and the designer just receives more professional training. A true master of design requires talent and hard work.
