[Rebranding Project for The Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Department of Chinese History and Culture (PolyU CHC) by Elio Brand Consultancy] This initiative was not just about a new look; it was about capturing the essence of what makes PolyU CHC unique and vital in today’s academic landscape. 📕 Concept Inspiration: The Formation of Jade Jade, a stone prized for its beauty and significance, can only be formed under specific natural conditions and pressures.

This duality fosters a diverse understanding and enables scholars to evolve into cultural "jade" through an immersive academic experience. 📕 Brand Motto: Unraveling the Past, Weaving the Future This motto encapsulates the department's mission to explore historical narratives while actively shaping future cultural discourse.

It is my honor to address the Student Training in Entrepreneurship Programme (STEP), hosted by the CoCoon Foundation , empowered by Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation . By sharing my personal entrepreneurial journey with high school students, I aim to inspire them by emphasizing that life presents both triumphs and challenges. These challenges can make one’s journey more fulfilling. Furthermore, I shared my observations of students from various educational institutions and universities. I believe that there is no such thing as a “smart” person. Rather, our talents should not be categorized, but rather the amount of dedication and passion we invest in our studies, careers, and daily lives. As long as we are passionate about what we pursue, we can pave the way for future success, and especially the joy.

🌲 Embracing Creativity in the Age of AI: Reflections on the Launch of Technology 🌲 With the recent official launch of macOS Sequoia and an exciting new range of Apple Mac products equipped with advanced AI capabilities, we stand at a pivotal moment in the evolution of education in creativity. Traditionally, our focus has been on practical skill sets, such as copywriting and art direction, as foundational training for aspiring creatives. These skills are undoubtedly essential, but as we move further into an era dominated by AI, it’s time to reevaluate our approach. While AI can enhance efficiency and streamline processes, it lacks the intrinsic human qualities that give creative work its depth and significance. To truly prepare ourselves for the future, we must uplift the creative mindset from a purely technical perspective to a more spiritual one. This means injecting purpose and meaning into our creative endeavors—fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to the world around us. It is this human element, rooted in empathy, storytelling, and cultural understanding, that AI cannot replicate. #macOSSequoia #Creativity #DesignEducation #AI #HongKongDesignInstitute #PurposeDrivenDesign #FutureOfCreativity #Innovation #HumanElement
