leMook 12

UBC Literature Etc.
Art Director
Spring 2008

leMook 12, featuring Urbanism as the primary topic and complimented with the photographically beautiful Special Project: Travel Journalism, is the newest issue of the UBC Literature Etc. leMook series. The creative approach was to balance the serious topic of Urbanism with an attractive and easy-going illustrative style to soften the text. Being the art director and the illustrator, I really enjoyed this particular project. It allowed me to further explore my drawing style in the humorous direction. It also led to the creation of freehand typography - two styles both in the English alphabets and Chinese characters.

UBC Literature Etc. was founded in the summer of 2002 by Elisa Chiu, a former undergraduate student at UBC, passionate in all aspects of art. She particularly wanted to collect Chinese literary works from all around the globe and publish a semi-annual magazine (April, September) based in Vancouver, now named "leMook", that is completely written, illustrated, and designed by students. Today, this publication has become the basis for our club.

UBC Literature Etc.
Art Director
Summer 2007

The 11th issue of leMook is also my first issue as the art director. Prior to this volume, leMook was printed only in black and white (excluding the cover), and focused heavily on the literary content while giving little attention to the art direction. Luckily, Dreamism was the topic, and thus it corresponded to our goal of a colourful and artistically rich leMook. This is our pioneer, the first issue to have colour pages.
