Illustration & Sequential Narrative

• Sequential Art: comic storyboarding, long or short form narrative comics, pacing and panel rhythm
• Book Illustration: book cover design, picture book layout, narrative illustration
• Comics & Storytelling: non-linear narrative, narrative-based illustration

Immersive & Interactive Experience

• Immersive Media: immersive installations, VR development in Unity, basic interaction implementation
• Game Development: GameMaker (character behavior, hit detection, state machine logic), basic game mechanics (interaction loop)
• Web Interaction: web-based interactive games (Figma, interaction logic), rule-based randomized systems

Audio & Interaction Syncing

• Interactive Audio: sound synced with visual feedback (UI sounds, object collision, environment changes)
• Music Composition (Medly): basic composition for gameplay rhythm and mood shifts

Programming & Technical Logic

• Python: basic syntax (conditionals, loops), data processing
• Computational Thinking: translating visual narratives into computer-readable logic modules, defining input/feedback, object state changes (state machine), and core loop systems
• Procedural Generation: using Python scripts to batch-generate visual elements, improving efficiency while maintaining visual quality

3D, Space & Installation

• 3D Modeling: Rhino, Cinema 4D (advanced), Blender (basic)
• Spatial Practice: exhibition spatial design and circulation planning, integration of installation and image, combining physical sculpture with projection and pop-up formats (focused on quick setup and low-cost participation)
• Exhibition Layout: exhibition planning, layout and wall placement

Digital Painting & Post-Production

• Procreate / Procreate Dreams (digital painting, animation)
• Photoshop (image editing, compositing, traditional illustration reworking)
• Lightroom (photo adjustment and lighting correction)
• Illustrator (vector graphics, print design)
• InDesign (book layout, print files)
• Blender / ZBrush (3D-assisted illustration workflow)

Traditional Art & Photography

• Traditional Media: mineral pigment painting, oil painting, watercolor, gouache, drawing, ink pen
• Photography: black-and-white film photography (manual film camera operation, basic darkroom techniques)

Textiles, Craft & Fabrication

• Fibers: Navajo weaving, material weaving, soft material sculpting (fabric / fiber)
• Craft & Form: needle felting (character props and detailing), handmade books and movable book structures, craft objects integrated with narrative
• Fabrication: laser cutting (file preparation), paper and print control (DPI / GSM), foam board mounting and spray adhesive techniques
• Wearable: fursuit making (faux fur, foam structure, head/tail/paws), character-based fabrication

Performance & Interaction

• Wearable structures (basic movement and comfort considerations)
• Character-based movement and non-verbal performance
• Live interaction in event and exhibition settings
• Audience feedback collection and observation

Product, Strategy & Audience

• Product Design: cultural product design, illustration merchandise, paper-based packaging design, product display optimization
• Social Media: self-media management, content strategy, data analysis (traffic and comments), viral content production
• Public Engagement: art fair sales and communication, audience feedback collection and iteration

Education & Cross-Cultural Communication

• Art Pedagogy: image-based teaching for students under 16 (language visual integration)
• Social Design: age-friendly tech training (visual guides for smartphone use)
• Language: cross-cultural communication in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Japanese

Research & Writing

• Interview & Oral History: conducting interviews and recording narratives
• Cantonese Transcription: translating Cantonese and regional speech into written form
• Narrative Writing: developing story-based writing from interviews (book project)
• Text-Image Work: integrating text and image in creative practice
