About Me
Introduction & Education
Hi, I'm Dan Yang. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Arkansas State University. As technology and the internet rapidly advance, I've come to realize that the future belongs to the digital world. I firmly believe that the era of purely graphic design has become a thing of the past, and the future lies in the integration of technology, the internet, and digital elements. This realization led me to pursue further education, and I have just completed my Master's degree in Digital Media Interactive Design at Northeastern University in Boston.
Bridging Graphic & Interactive Design
There are many similarities between graphic design and interactive design, with the skills acquired in graphic design forming the essential foundation for interactive design. My undergraduate studies provided me with a solid basis, equipping me with strong visual, graphic, and comprehensive branding abilities. During my graduate studies, the focus on interactive design further enhanced my skills in data analysis and visual representation for branding. These two disciplines complement each other and allow me to become a more versatile and professional designer.
Personal Passions & Creative Inspirations
I have a deep passion for reading, constantly seeking to understand the world around me through continuous learning. In addition, art-related activities such as drawing, sculpture, dance, and music are an integral part of my life. These creative forms of expression inspire my imagination and innovative thinking, enriching my designs.
Nature and Sports:
A Source of Balance and Inspiration
Beyond my love for art and design, I also enjoy nature and sports. Engaging in activities such as badminton, table tennis, skiing, and hiking allows me to feel closely connected to nature and maintain a healthy body and mind. These physical pursuits not only provide relaxation and balance but also serve as a wellspring of design inspiration, as I draw creativity from the natural world.
Professional Philosophy and Future Aspirations
I am confident in the relationship between my profession and the future technological society. By combining graphic and interactive design, I aim to create innovative and functional works that contribute to the development of our tech-driven world. My enthusiasm and passion stem not only from my pursuit of art and design but also from a curiosity about the world and an eagerness for technological advancements. I believe that incorporating these passions into my designs will result in unique and meaningful creations, enhancing the lives of people in our society.
