In the course of my studies, I have found that the layout relies heavily on the grid system as it offers a number of advantages. Firstly, the grid system provides a clear structure to keep the design elements organised, ensuring that the page layout is neat and consistent, avoiding confusion and disorder. Secondly, by using a grid, designers can ensure that the layout style is consistent from page to page or section to section. This consistency is critical to brand image and user experience, especially in large projects or multi-page documents. In addition, grid systems help designers accurately align text, images, and other elements so that pages look more balanced and aesthetically pleasing, and good alignment improves the readability and visual appeal of a page.

I have always been interested in the relationship between humans and animals. In particular, animals that have special behavioral patterns and survival skills, such as hibernation or the ability to change their colour, have always captured my attention. Among them, animals that can camouflage have inspired me a lot.

It seems to me that there is a deepconnection between the phenomenon of camouflage in the animal world and the adaptation of humans in society. Animals have developed a wide variety of camouflage skills in order to survive and reproduce in order to hide from predators or hunt prey. Such adaptations enable them to survive in a variety of environments and to function in the ecosystems in which they live. Similarly, humans are challenged by different environmental and social situations and need to adapt and find their place. In particular, as a member of a sexual minority group, I often face different levels of social pressure and prejudice in my daily life and need to learn how to maintain myself, protect myself, and find a sense of belonging in society.

By linking the phenomenon of camouflage in animals to human social adaptation, I hope to explore these similarities and reflect on the meaning behind them. This project is not only an observation of the natural world and human societies, but also a reflection on individual identity, social roles and cultural influences. I believe that by delving into these topics and discussing them, we can better understand ourselves and others, and promote social inclusion and progress.

This is a United Nations survey of how many sexual minorities in China choose to disclose their sexual orientation in different settings in their daily lives. In this case, blue is full disclosure, red is partial disclosure, and green is no disclosure at all. As you can see, the percentage of those choosing not to disclose is the highest in both the first two categories, family and school, and the last two, the workplace and places of worship. Even within the family, nearly half of the sexual minorities still do not disclose their sexual orientation

at all. In schools, the workplace and religious settings, only about five per cent are fully open.

Although grid systems provide structure, they do not limit creativity. Designers are free to arrange elements within the grid, adapting and innovating as needed while keeping the overall layout coordinated. Using a grid system also simplifies the design process and reduces iterative adjustments, allowing designers to make layout decisions more quickly and focus on content and creativity rather than constantly adjusting the placement of elements. In addition, the grid system helps create ordered blocks of text and areas of images, making it easier for readers to follow the logical flow of content. The clear column and row structure makes for a smoother reading experience. Through studying these elements, I have gained a deep appreciation of the importance and usefulness of the grid system in layout and design.

In the process of group work, we gave fullplay to our respective expertise, divided the work effectively and finally completed a zine in a very short time, which gave

me a great sense of achievement. Through collaborating with my team members, I not only learnt how to organise my time and resources effectively, but also deeply appreciated the power of teamwork.

I also gained a lot from the group discussions and giving advice to each other. The different views and opinions of different members opened up new perspectives for me, enabling me to look at the work from multiple angles. This atmosphere of mutual communication and learning has made me grow a lot and expanded my thinking and vision.

Through the feedback on my work, I have realised that there are still many things that can be improved in the work to make it more complete. This feedback has enabled me to see the shortcomings of my work more clearly and to think about how to further improve its quality and presentation.

At the same time, I was pleased to see that some of my classmates became interested in the hand printing method because of my work. Some of my students were used to adding textures to their procreate that were similar to those created by hand- printing, but after seeing my work, she said to me, "I see that hand-printing is really different from the textures that appear in electronic painting. This is something I hadn't thought of before, and it inspires other people to explore different ways of creation and techniques.

Based on the research I conducted in the first part about the similar connection between octopuses and people, I decided to dig further into this topic. As a result, the focus of this project was no longer solely on my personal experience but expanded to include a larger group of people from society as a whole. I began to use photographic techniques to capture people in different larger environments. For example, in museums, art galleries, and on the streets, I observed that people tend to exhibit similar behaviours and gestures. This got me thinking, can this phenomenon be called camouflage? My conclusion is that it is not.

Through these observations, I hope to reveal patterns of individual behaviour in public environments and explore the social and psychological factors behind these behaviours. Similar behaviours of people in public places may reflect their adaptation to social norms and the environment, but it does not necessarily mean that they are deliberately disguising themselves. This phenomenon has triggered me to think more deeply about the consistency and diversity of human behaviour. I plan to continue documenting and analysing this behavioural pattern using photography and other art forms, in an attempt to reveal how individuals find balance in a group and how this balance is affected by environmental and social pressures. Through this project, I hope to better understand the role and identity of the individual in society, and at the same time inspire viewers to reflect on their own behaviour and social interactions.

Studying his work, I have found that a lot of his work expresses emotion through colour.

I drew some sketches of people's expressions because I wanted to combine them with people's emotions. This enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of how people react in different emotional situations.

By studying camouflaged animals in nature, I gained insight into how they blend in and hide themselves in different environments. I created a mood board by searching for photography and collected photos of these animals in various scenarios in order to observe their appearance and camouflage techniques.

I have always found great joy in photographing people within their natural environments. In reviewing my collection of environmental portraits, I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon: individuals photographed within the same environment often exhibit striking similarities under similar conditions. Despite the inherent diversity among people, factors such as lighting, mood, and setting seem to create a common thread among subjects, resulting in a sense of uniformity within the frame.

# data[].attributes.body
This observation prompts me to delve deeper into the intricate relationship between individuals and their environments. How do external surroundings influence our behavior, expressions, and sense of self? Are there underlying psychological factors at play that cause individuals to mirror each other within shared spaces?

In exploring the camouflage relationship, I have thought about it from two different perspectives. On the one hand, I focus on the community level, i.e., how individuals camouflage and adapt within the social collective. On the other hand, I look at the inner human exploration of the self, which is how individuals recognise and express their true selves within themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Although both are thought-provoking, I ultimately chose the former because I believe that the relationship of camouflage at the community level is more universal and influential. Disguise in the community not only involves interactions between individuals and others, but also reflects the shaping of individual behaviours and identities by culture, society and power structures. Therefore, by exploring camouflage relationships at the community level, I hope to better understand the complex relationships between people in society and the shaping of individual roles and identities within the collective.

Because I felt that Gelli Print was a little too soft for my expectations, I decided to abandon its use in favour of other printing methods. I wanted to find a way to better express the effect I wanted in order to make my work more vivid and powerful.

In my initial attempts at drypoint printing, I encountered a number of problems. Firstly, I found that my choice of the inking tool was not quite right for the job, resulting in a less-than- ideal uniformity of ink colour. Next, the paper was too wet, which caused the paper to be pressed into the plate during the printing process, causing a shredding situation. And then, due to the humidity of the paper, the ink colour did not adhere well to the paper. In addition, when making one of the plates, the lines were not engraved deeply enough, preventing the pattern from being printed clearly.

# data[].attributes.body
For some of these problems, I askedthe studio teacher for help, and some I solved through my own efforts. The occurrence of these problems at one time made me distressed and even wanted to give up. But at the same time, it also made me realise that you can't be too anxious about hand printing, but you need to be quiet and take your time. I gained a great sense of satisfaction and achievement when I printed my first successful piece.

I then conducted sketching exercises to try and capture their forms and features in order to better understand their body structure and dynamics. This process not only helped me become more familiar with the diversity of animals in nature, but also helped me develop my observation and drawing skills.

# data[].attributes.body
After going through this process, Istarted observing the walls of the printing workshop at school that displayed different printing methods. By observing the actual operation and finished products in the studio, I realised that drypoint printing could better present the effect I wanted and finally decided to use the drypoint method for my final artwork. Its unique line texture and detail convinced me that it would be a better way to present my creative and artistic ideas. Therefore, I decided to invest the time and effort to realise my work through drypoint printing and hopefully achieve the perfect result I had in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
After deciding to use drypoint printing, I began to learn and practice the technique in depth. I observed and learnt how to prepare the plates, carve the patterns and use ink and pressure to print the artwork. Through practice and trial and error in the studio, I gradually mastered the skills and techniques of drypoint printing. I realised that this way of printing was better able to convey the visual effect and emotion that I wanted to convey. Therefore, I decided to apply it to my display project and believe that it will help me to achieve the artistic effect I envisaged.

In addition, I am very satisfied and pleased with the effect of using the same colour extensively in my work. This visual consistency not only enhances the overall atmosphere and expression of the work, but also conveys the emotions and themes that I want to express. I was pleased to see that many people were able to understand the work's message of an individual's loneliness in a wider environment without me having to introduce them to it. This shows that my work has succeeded in touching the hearts of the audience and triggering empathy and understanding.

As I searched for and watched videos of octopuses changing colours, I was fascinated by their amazing and intricate ability to switch colours. From soft light blues to complex and terrain-like colours, octopuses are able to quickly adjust their appearance to changes in their surroundings. And they can even dream! As octopuses dream, their body colours change beautifully in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
This physical change is not only amazing but also full of biological mysteries and aesthetic fascination. This made me finally decide to combine the octopus as a social mask with those worn by humans on different occasions.

I am very interested in typography, so after class I searched Pinterest for examples of typography and went to the library to find books on the subject. Through these books, I learnt more about the various techniques and theories of typography.

# data[].attributes.body
The typography examples on Pinterest allowed me to see a variety of creative and stylistic designs that inspired me. I have found that different types of typography can not only change the visual effect, but also affect the viewer's emotion and understanding. For example, some designs convey a sense of professionalism and authority through a clean grid system and carefully chosen fonts, while others create a lively and innovative atmosphere through bold colours and asymmetrical layouts. What I preferred, on the other hand, was the simplicity and clarity of the typography.

# data[].attributes.body
At the library, I found some classic books on type and typography, such as The Thames and Hudson manual of typography and Grid Systems in Graphic Design. These books detail the history, basic principles, and modern applications of type and typography. From these books, I learned how to create balanced and aesthetically pleasing page layouts through font selection, line spacing, word spacing and colour schemes.
