Verna's MIND
Welcome to my mind. It’s a platform that stores my drawings, my writings and my design works. Actually, you can just view it simply as a brain and a Moebius strip.
Moebius strip It is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. It forms a non-stop loop which carries the meaning of infinity. Because of infinity, nothing is impossible.
Let see how they can work together.

Singing contest
Novel time Designs
This project was to design a backdrop and a poster for a Yuen Long singing contest. The target audiences were youth who love singing and dancing so I used graphics to show the energy and motion. The backdrop used dark color to express the meaning of shining on the stage.
Poster - I used orange and red to show the energy

Backdrop - I used gray background to emphasize the light

Whole set of bookmarks Typography – Bookmark
See through the words from tracing paper
This project was to design one set of bookmarks about font classification to raise people’s interest in typography. I designed five bookmarks with simple and clear design to create a contrast between background and font. I also cut some important parts of the font and used tracing paper instead. User of the bookmarks can see through the tracing paper and compare with the font printed on their book or magazine, etc.

Helvetica's designer Eduard Hoffmann & Max Miedinger
Typography – Poster This project was to design a poster based on a font type. I choose Helvetica because it is still widely used nowadays. I love it’s simple and high legibility. The biggest challenge of this project was designing it in a new way based on its history.

Design fundamental – T-Shirt The project brief of Design Fundamentals asked us to design a T-shirt which can represent ourselves. Finally I choose "sleepy" as the topic because I felt so tired everyday during that period as I lacked sleep. I designed the T-shirt with panda on it because panda’s eyes have black circles and it is very bulky just like those who feel sleepy and walk very slow. Actually, the panda is a puppet which is totally controlled by “Sandman - sleepy”.

Photography - Poster We had to design a poster to promote a book called “Written on Hong Kong – Street Art”. I captured some signages, wall-paintings, neon signs and street performers in the street and found that they are great representations of the Hong Kong street. The final poster has a visual flow and a theme.

Web design This project was to redesign Greensense’s website. I kept its original green to be the main color. To attract people’s interest, I made a big banner in the main page. The whole site is consistent by using the same style.

Corporate identity This project was to create a set of corporate identity materials for an existing brand in HK. I redesigned PizzaBox’s identity to meet the new target audience’s need. The main color of this set is red and yellow. The new logo is more European, which matches with the product.

百轉千迴．回到原點
這個故事發生於古代 , 描述許許多多不同人物 的人生 , 跌宕起伏 , 有俠義 , 愛情 , 親情及友情。 人生總有太多無奈，古人生活在諸多繁文縟節 的約束下，更多的事情無法在自已的掌控之內。 當人經歷許多磨難 , 到最後 , 卻又回到了人生的 原點 , 就似什麼都沒有發生 , 也寧願一切從不曾 發生 , 但往事還是真真切切地閃現在腦海 , 那種 抹也抹不掉的痛苦折磨著餘生。 一個人要多少幸運才能最終修成正果 , 有許多 事情和機遇都是在霎那間擦身而過 , 錯過了便 無法挽過。 也有許多恩怨情仇 , 一念成灰。 一切都在這山水之間。
章一 : 醫者 火舌貪婪地舔著濕漉漉的茅草，燒紅了半邊天。 火光映照之下，嶄露一具具屍體，橫七豎八地陳 列在木屋前的黃泥地上。 “你是誰？為什麼要殺人滅口？”視野中唯一活 著的人是一中年男人，依衣著判斷應是普通家 僕，眼睛直鉤鉤地盯著前方一個大約十四五歲的 男孩，嘴唇不住搐動。 那孩童全無一點稚氣，眉目間透著陰森詭異，一 步步逼近那手無寸鐵的男人，手裏握著一把極不 相稱的長劍，劍身淌著幽藍異彩的液體。男人退 無可退，身後是一片雄雄欲噬的火海，彷彿要把 他吞沒。 “敗。”男孩輕輕吐出一個單音，聽起來宛如鬼 魅，那人還未來得及顫抖，男孩已推出他手中的 劍貫穿了他的驅體，雙頰閃過一股藍暈，便“咚” 一聲倒地不起。 殺死了最後一名倖存者，四野的陰霾更濃，只有 那殺人者不斷挑開一根根浴火燃燒的朽木，藉飛 散的火光搜索隱在黑暗處的漏網之魚。

“阿！”女孩脫口一聲驚呼，一閃而過的火光暴 露了她的蹤跡，旋即對上了男孩銳利的眼睛。那 女孩比他矮一個頭，瘦小身材，躲在一棵枯樹 後，閃爍著焰光的眼眸失魂落魄，怔怔地發抖。 男孩上下一掃便大致辨出女童心臟的位置，想也 不想，順手揮劍刺出，鋒芒一凜，映出女孩一雙 水汪汪的眼睛，天真無邪，眼角泛著瑩瑩淚光。 這種純潔是一個從小就被精心培養的殺手不曾擁 有的。 他心中恍然。劍隨心而發，此時意念已被動搖， 殺意消去八分，又被女孩臨危用匕首阻了一下，
偏了幾寸，刺進了她的肩膀。女孩吃痛，本能地 用手捂住傷口，血液順著她的指隙間流淌下來， 竟是藍晶晶的顏色。她望著那可怕的殺手，倒退 了幾步，只覺眼前一黑，昏了過去。 再也看不到那雙使人著魔的眼睛，殺手內心那片 黑暗的雲霧又一次蓋過了一切，他走到女孩的身 旁，送她最後一程。 “住手！” 聞得此聲，男孩手腕一頓，鋒刃凝在女孩胸前。 一個青衫男子從另一處黑暗冒出，衣冠楚楚，行 至那男孩右側，正色道“勿忘午夜之契定，期限
已過不得再殺人。” 劍一收垂劍向地，重覆的動作一夜間便扼殺了方 雲一家五口性命，連那重傷昏迷的女孩在內，總 數六人，比男孩想象中來的輕鬆，這只是他師門 指派的一次實習。 男孩微微躬身：“屬下未能完成任務，請責罰。” “已經足夠了，這女孩本不在名單之內，殺非必 然之舉。”青衣人拍了拍他肩膀：“你該累了， 回去吧。” “是。” 男孩走了開去，漸漸消失在視野之中。青衣人回 首瞧了一眼癱在地上的女娃兒，便後隨離開。沒 行幾步，一個影子忽地從他身側掠過，奔向他後 方，他警覺地轉身，望見原來無人的樹旁出現一 名身穿紫裳的女子，蹲坐在女孩旁沿，左手中握 著散發青色光芒的明珠，右手迅速地點了女孩俞 府和周邊幾個穴道。 明珠熠熠生輝，映照出方圓幾尺內的景象，青衫 男子凝望女子的臉龐，想起一個人來，笑道：“好 久不見了，阿暖。” 紫裳女子是無名谷的掌谷，醫術精湛，除了與她 相熟的幾位大俠者外，在武林中是鮮為人知。她 知道此人一直站在一旁看著，救人為先也未加理 會，想不到此時此刻竟能聽見這熟稔的嗓音，心 中五味雜陳，抬首應道“是你？”說這簡簡單單 的兩個字居然十分艱難，好比剛嚥下一粒黃蓮， 苦澀非常，盼來卻是那青衫男子冷哼一聲，她才 想起很多事早就變了。 更沒想到的是青衣男子先下手為強，轉眼間就欺 到她的身前，招招狠辣要奪那小女孩的性命，她 奮力地掩護，又見那小女孩臉上痛苦之色加劇， 情急之下把那顆明珠塞進她口中，以減緩毒素蔓 延。
