"Zhang Xinyi's life photos~"
Q: What is your name and what is your major?
A: My name is Zhang Xinyi, I am a Grade 19 advertising design student. I serve as an officer in the Outreach Department of the Students' Union and as a representative of specialized courses.
Q: In addition to studying and living, what hobbies do you have?
A: Usually, in addition to learning life, I prefer photography, as well as painting, running, and hula hoops.
Q: Do you run every day if you run?
A: No, I'll go for a run 3-5 days a week, but it depends on the weather.
Q: Can you briefly introduce the new starlight project to us if it is different from the previous one?
A: In the previous Starlight Project, there were only three sections, including flat, packaging and layout. This year, compared with previous editions, a new section has been added: animation production, involving AE. AE I have never learned here before and it is a whole new challenge for me.
Q: There are four sections this time, can you tell us about their themes?
A: Each of the four sections will have a theme, and then each theme is related to learning, food, sports, and landmark buildings. Then it is more difficult to make typography and video animation. Because of the layout, he has a hard rule, requiring several small icons to be drawn, all of which need to be completed within the specified time, and then exported to the corresponding format and put into the album. For me to say, it will consume a lot of time to a certain extent. Then in terms of animation, because I was also trying to use AE for the first time, and then learning may not be as experienced as other students, so maybe the production aspect will be longer, and it also takes into account that his overall rendering time is within the specified time, so it is still a big challenge for me.
Q: Is this AE ad hoc?
A: Yes, AE is a temporary study and is not covered in the curriculum.

Q: Does drawing have an impact on your choice of major?
A: It has a certain impact, because I have liked to draw since I was very young, and I have no other special hobbies, not as many hobbies as I have now, so for me to say, advertising design is the industry I want to engage in.
Q: When did you start learning to draw?
A: I don't have a specific time to learn to draw, it's all according to my own interests, that is, I will paint when inspiration bursts.
Q: How did your profession help with this competition?
A: The help should be quite large, because he is also involved in a proficiency level of professional software, so relatively speaking, the overall help is very large.
Q: Did anything memorable happen during the game so long?
A: He is divided into two schedules, that is, it is equivalent to saying that the four sections are divided into four sections, first two sections are carried out after two sections, and then the middle rest is like this, and then in the first two sections, that is, two and a half hours, after completion, I am very impressed that a girl in the next classroom examination room did not complete the question within the specified time, so the result was that the mood was relatively low, and then he cried in the corridor, and then his teacher comforted him, so it felt quite a pity.
Q: Who is behind you after so much time?
A: I think words are of the greatest help to me, first of all, my guidance teacher, Ms. Wang Qin. She also gave me some technical help, and some software, and because AE was not involved, she taught me some. Another thing is to tell me which is more important according to the evaluation of previous sessions, and which ones can be considered. And then the second thing is that my parents gave me some very good, nutritious food during my preparations, so I'm a little fatter now. Then there is the fact that my boyfriend will give me some psychological counseling, because in the preparation process, the psychological pressure is relatively large, or will help me share some.
Q: Tell us what you've learned from this competition
A: If you get the result of this competition, you also feel very honored to win the first prize, because I have never thought about this aspect, and then if I have a relatively large harvest, it is also an improvement in all aspects of skills. Then I also learned to be more careful and rigorous, and then all aspects of the section need to be improved.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: At present, the current goal is to be able to smoothly upgrade the book, and then the long-term goal is to hope that after the college, engage in this kind of industry. After a period of time with a certain amount of experience, and then have a certain influence in the industry, you can open your own studio.
Then today will be the "award" here
We'll see you next time
