‘Country’ Lei Bob ‘Critical Graphic Design,’ Eric Cai Shi Wei
Chinese Designer Lei Bob – Country
Lei Bob’s “Country” displays the raw, yet elegant typography of Chinese characters. The face of the man is covered by the words that mean “Country” in Chinese. Though his eyes, ears and mouth are covered, he is not afraid, Bob explained to Graphis, because he believes in himself. “Things may block our eyes, our ears and our mouths, but never our hearts as we Chinese have faith and truth in ourselves to believe.” The entry was submitted to this year’s Poster Annual 2015.
Other Graphis Chinese designers include Eric Cal Shi Wei, a Gold winner in the Poster Annual 2013, Zhao Yan, a Gold winner in the Poster Annual 2013, Rong Liang, a Platinum winner in the Poster Annual 2011 and Kuokwai Cheong, a Gold winner in our Design Annual 2014. Represented in the Poster Annual 2012 are Gold winners Hei Yiyang and Liu Zhao. Issue 346 features designer Fang Chen’s ability to merge Chinese design with universalism.
