Laifen makes high-speed hair dryers. A designer’s archive keeps two sets of promotional layouts made for it: a 3.8 Women’s Day poster pairing the white, red and black dryers with one word each — light, quiet, fast — and New Year posts announcing Laifen’s store on Xiaohongshu Mall. The originals used the 3D lettering and pink podium renders common to Chinese e-commerce: every message right, and no different from anyone else’s. We kept every line and every layer of structure and gave the rest to typography.

013.8 Women’s Day

Three lines,
three dryers.

Top to bottom, the original says three things: it is 3.8, Women’s Day; the gift is for yourself; each of the three colours has its strength. We kept every layer and changed only the voice: the chrome 3D lettering becomes large, light type; the stock podium becomes a single horizon; the three dryers stand in a row, each with one word.

  1. Kept3.8 Women’s Day · “a gift to yourself” · light, quiet, fast · the white, red, black order
  2. ReplacedThe 3D type effects, pink podium and copper spheres, by typography and one horizon line
  3. Left outThe vertical weight and noise claims, and the Laifen logo

02Three colours, three words

One colour,
one word.

The poster’s frame is three columns: white with light, red with quiet, black with fast. Taken apart, each column stands on its own — the most dependable part of the whole layout. The type is Noto Sans SC in a light weight, large enough to work as image; the colours are only the product’s own white, red and black, over a ground of pale blush.

03New Year on Xiaohongshu Mall

A search bar
is the whole instruction.

The other set is New Year posts for Laifen’s arrival on Xiaohongshu Mall, in the app’s 3:4 portrait format. The original crowded a discount, slogans, product claims and a podium together, with the search bar squeezed in at the foot; we kept only the step the reader has to take — search for “Laifen” — and moved the original’s search bar, enlarged, to the centre of the frame.

  1. KeptNew Year · “Laifen is on Xiaohongshu Mall” · the search bar reading “Laifen” · the three colours
  2. ReplacedThe pink and red podium renders, by a full red ground and one shadow

An independent study, not a verified commission. The originals come from a studio designer’s archive (Jodie / 38), dated late 2022 to March 2023; the archive records no commission, adoption or launch by Laifen. Both posters on this page were re-set in HTML in 2026 with the original headlines and lines (3.8 Women’s Day, “a gift to yourself”, light · quiet · fast, New Year, Laifen on Xiaohongshu Mall); the originals’ weight and noise claims and discount figures are left out. The hair-dryer cutouts are product images supplied by the brand, cropped, with the Laifen wordmark on each handle retouched out; the product design, photography and the Laifen logo belong to Laifen, and the logo is not used here. The originals’ 3D lettering effects and pink podium appear to be stock elements and are gone. Xiaohongshu Mall is the store on the Xiaohongshu (RED) app.
