02 / Design Intent设计意图
Strategic Direction战略方向
The visual identity of the Museum of Glass is designed to express the fluid motion of glassmaking, a welcoming community spirit, and a modern approach to education. It is created for Pacific Northwest families, art enthusiasts, and cultural tourists.玻璃博物馆的视觉识别旨在表达玻璃制作的流动感、包容的社区精神和现代教育方式，面向太平洋西北地区的家庭、艺术爱好者和文化游客。
These visuals capture the museum's blend of art, science, and community. The fluid movement and raw energy of molten glass on a blowpipe highlight its craft-driven educational purpose and the thrilling Hot Shop experience. Finally, pieces like blue glass earrings translate this intense craft into accessible, everyday human connections.这些视觉元素捕捉了博物馆融合艺术、科学与社区的特质。吹管上熔融玻璃的流动与原始能量，凸显了其工艺导向的教育目标和令人兴奋的热工坊体验；蓝色玻璃耳环等作品，则将这种强烈的工艺转化为可亲近日常的人际连接。
Inspiration / Moodboard灵感 / 情绪板
Moodboard exploration focusing on the transition from static raw materials to dynamic, glowing artifacts.情绪板探索聚焦于材料从静态原料到动态发光作品的转变。
03 / Organizational Identity品牌识别
Logo Concept & Metaphor标志概念与隐喻
The logo represents a bulb of molten glass being inflated to create an abstract letter "G". This design reflects both the craftsmanship of glassmaking and the dynamic fluidity of the glass.标志以正在吹制的熔融玻璃泡呈现抽象字母“G”，既体现玻璃制作工艺，也传达玻璃的动态流动感。
Color Palette色彩方案
We based our color palette on the physical art of glassmaking. We also needed a highly usable interface. We selected red, orange, yellow, and blue. These act as vibrant pops of color. The intense fire of the furnace inspired these choices. The glowing molten glass also inspired them. We chose white and a soft green for our layout. These serve as clean backgrounds. Inclusive design is a priority. We reserve black and white strictly for our text. This guarantees high contrast. It ensures maximum legibility across any background. The information remains clear for all users.我们的色彩方案以玻璃制作这一实体艺术为基础，同时满足高可用性界面的需要。我们选用红、橙、黄、蓝作为鲜明的色彩点缀，灵感来自熔炉的炽热火焰与发光的熔融玻璃。布局使用白色和柔和的绿色作为干净背景。包容性设计是优先事项，因此文字仅使用黑色与白色，以确保高对比度和在任何背景上的最大可读性，让所有用户都能清晰获取信息。

The bold title typography embodies the substantial weight of the exhibited glassworks, contrasting with a delicate text font that captures the fragile intricacies of glass. This thoughtful pairing of varied letterforms also ensures optimal legibility.粗壮的标题字体体现展出玻璃作品的厚重质感，与捕捉玻璃脆弱细节的精致正文字体形成对比。这种不同字形的审慎搭配也确保了最佳可读性。
04 / Artifacts作品
Interactive Artifact交互作品
For my digital artifact, I developed an interactive prototype featuring the Home and Visit pages. The Home page welcomes users with fluid, dynamic visuals that reflect the creative energy of the Hot Shop. On the Visit page, I prioritized usability and clear information architecture. By utilizing high-contrast typography and a clean layout, key details like ticketing and schedules are highly accessible. This prototype successfully balances artistic expression with a human-centered digital experience.我的数字作品是一个包含首页和参观页面的交互原型。首页以流动、动态的视觉元素迎接用户，映射热工坊的创作活力；参观页面则优先保证易用性和清晰的信息架构。借助高对比度字体和简洁布局，票务和日程等关键信息易于获取。该原型成功平衡了艺术表达与以人为中心的数字体验。
Physical Artifact实体作品
