Value

Overview
This section brings the illustration work from the portfolio into the website, showing the visual foundation behind my product and interaction design practice.
Problem
A design portfolio for UX roles should still reveal visual sensitivity, composition ability and emotional expression.
Wireframe
The layout gives the artwork enough space and avoids turning the gallery into a dense grid.
High Fidelity
The final presentation keeps large images, restrained spacing and minimal captions.
Prototype
This is a portfolio gallery section rather than a functional product prototype.
Motion
Motion is intentionally quiet: fade-in, slight parallax and image hover scale.
Reflection
The illustration work connects my fine-art foundation with the emotional layer of digital experience design.
Research
- Selected anime-style illustration, QQ avatar, black-and-white comic and color illustration pieces.
- Organized the work around visual expression rather than long explanation.
- Kept the presentation quiet so the artwork can carry the mood.
Insights
Illustration training strengthens composition and visual hierarchy.
Character work builds sensitivity to emotion and narrative context.
Visual craft helps product stories feel more memorable.
