Yingying Yue

S.I. NEWHOUSE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

My name is Yingying Yue. I am from Hangzhou, China. Hangzhou is a beautiful city, with countless excellent restaurants, that I missed a lot. I first became interested in graphic design thanks to my favorite boy group, BIGBANG. I was a freshman, I hadn’t yet declared my major, and I had a lot of free time on my hands. To join a fan site, I needed some skills. I chose to be a graphic designer. I started my career because of my idol — I still love BIGBANG — but now I am even more in love with design. I enjoy the process of visualizing my ideas. I am currently a graphic design senior and an art history minor.
