Exclusive Interview with Minghao Lin
1. The Influence of Recognition
C2A: Fresh from your recent win at the C2A Awards, can you share how the recognition has already influenced your perspective on your creative journey or business endeavors?
Minghao Lin: This is my first comprehensive design project, and I am honored to have received recognition from the judges. This recognition has strengthened my resolve to pursue interdisciplinary design and explore more possibilities in this field.
2. The Mystic Force of Creativity
C2A: Creativity is a mystic force. What fuels your imagination, and how do you approach the creative process?
Minghao Lin: I believe that the core of creativity lies in exploration. As the Chinese saying goes, ‘read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.’ Inspiration always appears on the road of exploration: exploring the value of works, exploring the means of implementation, and exploring the audience’s perception. Of course, inspiration can also strike while taking a shower. If you encounter a difficult problem, why not take a relaxing hot bath?
3. Navigating Creative Twists and Turns
C2A: Navigating the twists and turns of a creative career often involves overcoming obstacles. Can you share some challenges you faced in this project?
Minghao Lin: The biggest obstacle in the progress of this project was the interdisciplinary solution. Due to the requirements of the brand itself, this project involved various fields of traditional graphic design, such as packaging and books, as well as 3D animation, web interaction, and even some industrial design. Many of these were areas I had never ventured into. However, through continuous understanding, learning, and practice, and humbly seeking advice from others, I eventually completed these challenges.
4. Impact of C2A Victory
C2A: The ink on your C2A victory is still fresh. In what ways do you anticipate the award impacting your credibility and reputation in the creative industry, and how do you envision leveraging this recognition as you move forward?
Minghao Lin: This award has allowed more people to see my work, increased the audience’s trust in my abilities, and will be an important experience in my resume.
5. The C2A Experience
C2A: As a recent C2A Award winner, what aspects of the experience have you found most valuable, and would you encourage others in the creative industry to consider participating?
Minghao Lin: I believe that for design students, trusting their own work and bravely speaking out is the most important thing. Seize good ideas, create good works, and bravely submit them, and you can win good awards.
6. Embracing Industry Trends
C2A: Staying current is an ongoing challenge. How do you currently keep abreast of new industry trends, and are there any emerging trends you’re excited to incorporate into your work?
Minghao Lin: Cross-disciplinary and cross-domain comprehensive design is currently a new trend and the direction I am striving for.
7. Inspiration Behind the Winning Project
C2A: Zooming in on your recent triumph, what inspired the winning project you submitted to the C2A Awards?
Minghao Lin: The origin is simple. Initially, I designed a new brand for the school’s design studio, but my proposal was not adopted. Instead of giving up, I continued to explore the core of ‘doing something for designers.’ As you can see, I designed objects that designers encounter in their work and created a warm and approachable design studio.
