Features: This book is a byproduct of the "Exhibition of Posters by Contemporary Chinese Artists" event. Students from the Design College of the Central Academy of Fine Arts had the opportunity to interact with many outstanding contemporary Chinese artists during their involvement in the organization, sorting, and production of the exhibition. They gained insights that are often missing from their academic teaching. The artists' perspectives on life, their lifestyles, their methods of viewing the world, and their unique understanding of design issues and art education deeply inspired the students. To capture these insights, they specifically invited some representative artists for interviews, which were then compiled into this book. It can be said that the significance of the latter far surpasses the original purpose of this poster design exhibition involving artists.
