This design presents time as a process of accumulation rather than disappearance. Each day leaves a trace, and each month becomes part of a larger visual sequence. Instead of turning pages, the user removes and inserts monthly sheets like slides in a projector. This action creates a clear rhythm of transition. The calendar encourages people to experience time not as something that is lost, but as something that builds gradually in layers.
Summer Palace Tour is a brand design created for an anniversary tour of the Summer Palace in Beijing.

The design is applied to publicity materials, office supplies and souvenirs, printed on coated art paper and craft paper with screen printing and gold stamping. A craft paper box holds two posters, four key rings, adhesive tape, an envelope and a notebook. Visitors can carry the garden heritage by hand.
