Features: This book is a collection of notes, summaries, and reflections by Liu Llan, a Chinese student studying Visual Communication at the University of Washington in the United States. It provides an in-depth record of her experiences with different educational approaches and outcomes in the U.S. design education system—how an ordinary person is trained to become a graphic designer. There is still a considerable gap between graphic design education in China and that in foreign countries, particularly the U.S. This book holds significant reference value for Chinese graphic design students, teachers, and professionals, both in terms of conveying concepts and inspiring methods. The book selects five of the author's most important courses during her studies, explains her learning process with numerous images, and intersperses her study notes throughout. This is especially valuable for Chinese design teachers and students studying graphic design. The book is written in bilingual format, which will also greatly assist students of art who may have weaker English skills. This book is suitable for graphic design students, domestic graphic design teachers, working graphic designers, and students preparing to study graphic design overseas.
