It was my first time touch the word of "Getty" when searching online image source from grettyimage.com. Second time came closer to word "Getty" while redesigning the official website for Olin studio Architecture with Pentagram in 2009. And finally, third time, came into the real world of "Getty" after 1.5 hour drive from downtown LA, which is an expected fantasy "Getty Center" up on the hill as an white castle from another planet, nourishes by an afternoon sunshine.

Endless group of passionate visitors enjoy the most glorious history of these famous art collections in a completely harmony world. Getty Center let us touch the soul of those pieces.

Such an inspiration~ I melt myself into the light standing in the middle grand of this paradise.
However, I never lose myself as soon as I find and step into the shadow cast by the concrete wall of architecture.

Shoe packaging design. Art directed by Abbott Miller, 2008

A shoe package design for JJ Walker, a shoe product line parterning with the company Patagram. JJWalker promots a modernm, healty city walking life style around the urban city, which is the essence theory of great urban renewal nrbanist, writer, and activist Jan Jacobs.


The shoe product from Patagonia has a really unique feather, which was designed for
promoting "city life", it has a separate layers and can be ware with separatly. So I am appying this uniqueniss of the shoe to grafting the thoery of Jane Jabobs city planing. I am applying a "Grafting diagram" to represent both the ideas and the product simultaneously and progressively.




In order to emphasis the meaning of jj "WALKERS", I am applying a walking "red path" to wrap around the city block as a concept.
The closed box illuminates a single block inside of the urban city,the single red path is a metaphor icon of single costomer's urban life inside of the city. And once the boxed opened the inner overlapping pathes represent more and more people's path appreare around the city block, which extands to a whole new urban life style trendency.

The box uses a sleeve to contain a internal "box". In this case the sleeve is two parts which originally reveals just the "path" of the purchaser. Upon opening, one sees how many people's paths can become connected on a daily walking adventure.

Leed Tour- Our Next Generation Workplace
As we know, sustainable design is a holistic, integrated process in which culture informs design as much as design informs culture.

There is a philosophical approach that blurs the line between culture and environment, lifestyle and workplace, and creates what we believe is a true reflection of who we are and what we stand for.

The passing of time is something that is predictable - a steady progression of seconds, minutes, days and years. What we do with these moments, however, is unique and unpredictable, and ultimately defines who we are as individuals. The Legacy Awards, ironically, honor the qualities and set of beliefs that have remained timeless throughout the years: creativity, collaboration, technical quality, mentorship, stewardship and social action, etc.

Our design uses the image of a clock—a universal and age-old representation of time—to graphically express the essence of each award.
