Features: Yao Erfan was born in the American-occupied zone in Germany and currently teaches at Berlin University of the Arts (White Lake). The Visual Communication Department at this institution does not adopt a single-mentor studio system. Therefore, this book focuses on the teaching characteristics of multiple mentors jointly teaching in the department. Yao Erdan graduated from the Düsseldorf University of the Arts and was a student of Joseph Beuys. He has tried many professions: teacher, silk-screen printer, writer, photographer, filmmaker, and politician. He returned to France in 1976 and worked at Grapus until he received national honors. In 1991, he joined NTE. In 1993, he became a professor at Berlin University of the Arts (White Lake) and the head of the Visual Communication Department. Shi Gang Yingzi defines design as: 1. Eternity; 2. Revolution; 3. Originality. I would like to recommend her design philosophy to Chinese design classrooms. This triangular concept embodies interpretations of technology, courage, creativity, and cultural heritage in design academia. You may disagree with my claim of elevating design to an academic realm, but the existence of design education itself is an acknowledgment of design as an academic discipline. Design is a systematic field with teachable and learnable history and theory, and it continues to evolve toward countless possibilities. The pillar of academic research is the scientific spirit. Understanding this spirit is akin to designers recognizing that every design is first a job. This way, when you see a three-month crash course in graphic design in the newspaper again, you can’t help but smile knowingly. Hegemann, Yao Erdan, Los, Joos, Mattis, and Wasilieki professors are undoubtedly outstanding graphic designers of this era. This series of books introduces their understanding of design and their methods of design education. What’s more important is that the book also introduces the creative works of young designers influenced by them.
