03 / QUESTIONS INTO EXPRESSION

From the classroom to the next chapter.

Type expresses curiosity, grids and circles suggest mathematics, and an original mural photograph brings art-making into focus. An ascending graphic marks a new chapter in the graduation poster. Four posters share an identity and layout system while each theme keeps its own character.

SCOPE
Identity recovery, school portrait, subject posters, learning materials and digital applications

Redesigned from original 2022–2023 identity, admissions, course, camp and graduation material. The twenty original English identity paths are retained. Three photographs recovered from the native brochure keep their full compositions; people are not regenerated or retouched. Chinese setting, graphic modules, headlines and layouts are new 2026 concepts. This editorial selection is not a current prospectus, fee list or course schedule. Historical admission offers, student records and rankings are excluded. AI-assisted scenes illustrate applications; client adoption, production and installation are unconfirmed.
