Hello, this is Ariel!

Hi! My name is Yen-Ying, Lin, but I will like to go for Ariel (which I believe it'll be much easier for people to remember) . I am an international student from Taiwan, and majoring in industrial design. This is my third year here studying and living in Vancouver. As I think design should not be narrow into a single direction, I like to present and expend my creativity in various type of design field, for example like two-dimensional advertisement and graphics design. 

" The idea of creating something is more gratifying than making money" this quote is from a designer I have interviewed for my high school exhibition project. This quote have influence me a lot, and know about the importance of designer in our modern society. Designer's job is not simply making objects looks good. They also need to consider to various kind of facts and aspect. For instance the product's materials, quality and does it conform to ergonomics. My goal is to be become professional designer in future. Frankly, I think currently Taiwan's product design is pretty boring and monotone. As the result, I want to feedback the society with my creativity. Also I want people to see my designs and art, and fortunately to use them, too. 

  

Okay....let's stop with this boring self-introduction ....

For the following pictures, I'm the one who wears a white shirt with black stripes

Basically, I can describe my personality in few simple words, which are " crazy", "mischievous", " energetic" and  "random". Haha, by reading till here, I know the readers might felt awkward and think Im crazy. But it's okay, I don't care~ because this is who I am .  

It's hard for me to find a self- portrait with a normal smiling face, because I always like to make weird faces while Im taking pictures.

Besides , I also like to force my friend to do funny and ridiculously ugly poses for pictures.  My brain is always full with bizarre ideas for different themes of pictures.

 For this one, its a theme of " Let me jump! Let me die! I don't want school to start! I want my summer back!"

 Oops! I forgot to mention, that I am a food lover. I love to crave and explore for delicious food. besides eating, I also like to bake and cook. Actually I enjoy more in cooking rather than eating.... Haha, because I like the process of making and look at people's reaction towards the food I make.

Hum... okay there are still lots of detail about me that I haven't mention, but because of the limitation of words and pictures for this assignment I'll have stop here.
Who ever will likes to know more about me, please don't hesitate to stop by and say hi to me :D
