By Todd Carroll

My name is Jiaqi, a graphic designer based in New York City. To me, design is a powerful visual language that transforms messages and facilitates communication. My process involves converting observations into abstract outputs, allowing me to convey emotions and ideas to audiences.
"Bacteria Museum", is an imaginary branding project, where I explored the unique features of bacteria. I created bacteria modules as foundational elements using inspiration from the bacteria reproduction process, after which I shaped them into different forms (bacteria cells, communities, logos, typefaces, patterns, and even museum architecture). I was captivated by the fascinating movements of bacteria when reproducing under the microscope, and this inspired me to study logo animation and pattern design. All of these elements create an extensive system and a visually compelling story.
