華文是全球五分之一人口溝通的語言。而華文也推動(dòng)著今日成長最快速的經(jīng)濟(jì)體之一。因此，遍布全球的機(jī)構(gòu)都在使用華文來創(chuàng)造杰出的傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)作品。為了能更深入地評價(jià)這些作品，red dot 特?成立了一個(gè)精通華文及中華文化的評審團(tuán)。如此一來，全球各地的機(jī)構(gòu)與設(shè)計(jì)師能有機(jī)會(huì)呈現(xiàn)他們?yōu)槿A人市場所創(chuàng)造出的中文作品。

An interview with Lin Sau Hoong, jury for Chinese language works of the red dot award: communication design 2008.

red dot award: communication design, 傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)大獎(jiǎng) 2008,中文作品評審,林少芬 的專訪。

請分享您的設(shè)計(jì)理念或是宗旨。

即使是一個(gè)簡單的設(shè)計(jì)與創(chuàng)意都可回歸到人性的根本和文化歷史的深 層。多年來累積起來的所有一切有關(guān)成長過程中所吸取的經(jīng)驗(yàn),體會(huì), 道理,領(lǐng)悟,教訓(xùn),包含人文,影象,旋律,歌謠,記憶,品味,逸事,實(shí)錄,靈感,趣事,觀念,時(shí)尚,美學(xué),知識,智慧,奇思,幻想,癖好等等的這些非常個(gè)人的元素,都組成了非常個(gè)人的文化基因。唯有回歸到這個(gè)源頭,在創(chuàng)意時(shí)才能更加自由無阻。因?yàn)閯?chuàng)意與感 動(dòng),原就是來自對自己對他人和對環(huán)境的觀察與尊重,對歷史和對文化的認(rèn)識與學(xué)習(xí),以及對未來和對愿景的想像與憧憬。
How will you describe your design philosophy?
Even a simple design or creativity can be traced to the roots of humanity and the depths of cultural history. As a person matures, his personal experiences in life, principles, realisation, lessons, humanities, images, music, songs, memories, taste, anecdotes, factual records, inspirations, interesting encounters, concepts, fashion sense, aesthetics, knowledge, wisdom, imagination, and habits etc formed his cultural DNA.  Only by drawing on this source can one attain creative freedom. This is because creativity and emotional content are often a result of observing and respecting oneself, others and the environment, understanding and learning about history and culture, as well as by his imagination and visions for the future.

red dot award: communication design (傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)大獎(jiǎng))首次設(shè)立中文評審團(tuán), 讓中文傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)作品與整個(gè)大獎(jiǎng)的參賽作品在同一個(gè)平臺上競爭。請問您有什么看法?

red dot award: communication design (傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)大獎(jiǎng))首次設(shè)立中文評審團(tuán),讓中文傳達(dá)設(shè) 計(jì)作品與整個(gè)大獎(jiǎng)的參賽作品在同一的平臺上競爭,是對中文創(chuàng)意中華文化與崛起的華文市場的尊重,這在以西方設(shè)計(jì)作為國際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的設(shè)計(jì)領(lǐng)域來說,是有深遠(yuǎn)重大的意義的。這項(xiàng)創(chuàng)舉讓以中文作為思考與溝通語文的優(yōu)秀創(chuàng)意人或創(chuàng)意團(tuán)隊(duì)能借著這個(gè)互相較量與觀摩的機(jī)會(huì)兢飆世界標(biāo)準(zhǔn),無形中,這也讓創(chuàng)意人或創(chuàng)意團(tuán)隊(duì)在發(fā)揮設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)意上能回歸到文化歷史深層最基本的源頭,并對自身歷史與文化的認(rèn)識更坦然自在及自信尊重,創(chuàng)意人或創(chuàng)意團(tuán)隊(duì)也可從中漸漸建立起屬于自己的專業(yè)權(quán)威,最終將不再依附別人為權(quán)威,而是本身成為權(quán)威。

For the first time, red dot design award establish a jury panel who understands the Chinese language and culture to evaluate Chinese language works as an undeniable part of this international award, instead of a separate new award. What is your opinion on this?
The establishment of a jury panel that understands the Chinese language and culture allows Chinese communication designs to compete on an equal level with other entries in this international competition. It reflects respect for Chinese language based creativity, the Chinese culture as well as the emerging Chinese market. This initiative is especially meaningful because the design field has been using Western design as the international standard. Now, talented creative professionals, creative teams, who use Chinese as their language of thought and communication, can take advantage of this opportunity to compete against one another as well as to challenge the international standard. This also allows these designers and creative teams to draw creative inspiration from their cultural root, to be more naturally and confidently in touch with their personal history and culture. In the process, these designers or creative teams can gradually establish their professional influence and eventually rely on their own influence instead of others.

在傳達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)行業(yè)的層面,隨著中文市場的重要性提高,那是如何影響了廣告設(shè)計(jì)代辦處的商業(yè)策略?
若以創(chuàng)意為核心價(jià)值來經(jīng)營,那么,我們應(yīng)思考如何把抽象的文化基因 轉(zhuǎn)換成可經(jīng)營的經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè),然后又該如何提高這個(gè)可經(jīng)營的文化產(chǎn)業(yè)的價(jià)值,最后更應(yīng)該傳達(dá)如何把個(gè)人的經(jīng)歷品牌化并銷售到國際市場的理念與策略。
Looking at communication design from an industry’s point of view, how will the increasing importance of the Chinese market affect the business strategies of advertising agencies? 
If creativity is the core value for the company, we should think about how to transform abstract cultural elements into a manageable financial asset, increase the value of this cultural asset, and finally, communicate the concept and strategy of transforming one’s personal experience into a brand and marketing this to the world.
