Designer Interview of Huizi Tian:
DI: What is "design" for you?
HT : Design is what I have been working on, and it’s also the way I realize my self-value.
DI: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
HT : I’d like to design something related to my research, using design as way to express some social issues.
DI: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
HT : I pay more attention to design something which can be finished completely. Sometimes I come up with good ideals, but there are various limitations make things impossible to pull off, so when I design a project, I care about feasibility first.
DI: What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
HT : To realize my own design is something I have been looking forward to. After completing one project, I will look forward to the realization of the next one. This anticipation solved most of my anxiety.
DI: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
HT : I’m not good at judging the quality of a design rationally, such as in-depth analysis of its creativity or research of its concept. I prefer to pay more attention to the overall sense of the picture at the first glance. I think design is to convey the audience with works, rather than understand the content through text interpretation, and I think the overall effect of the picture is the most important thing to reflect the design and aesthetic skills.
DI: Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
HT : My design inspiration comes from details in daily life. Additionally, when my inspiration is exhausted, I often read some papers. Through the understanding of other fields unrelated to design, usually I will have some interesting inspirations.
DI: Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
HT : I think the most important thing for a designer is to cultivate the sense of beauty. Aesthetics can help a design be visually correct. Therefore, we need to see more, think more, and accumulate the sense of beauty all the time.
DI: What skills are most important for a designer?
HT : I think the most important thing is the ability to capture information and process information. Mastering this ability helps us get ideas for design quickly.
DI: How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
HT : There is no definite answer to the question of this question, but I know that good design must take time to settle.
DI: What are your future plans? What is next for you?
HT : I'm supposed to do a visual book about time perception, which entirely written and designed by myself.
DI: How can people contact you?
HT : My Email address is istianhz@gmail.com.
