Design Forecast 2018

An annually publication that forecast the design trend in the architecture industry and showcased our latest projects and beautiful innovative builds.

I worked with the design team including design director, various designers, copy writer and project manager. After the English version wrapped up, I lead the effort of replacing the content with Chinese translation by working with another designer in the Shanghai office. This issue is also available in Spanish.

The illustrations in the design file were utilized beyond the printed piece, at some point I was requested to expand it for Gensler’s Super Meeting. Here you can see them behind the Co-CEOs, third screen not pictured.
