1999 — 2013
Intro
Every designer starts somewhere. These are selected works from 1999 to 2009 — the moments that mattered.
Student experiments, early client work, and the first time I realized design could actually change something. They're kept here not as highlights, but as honest evidence of where it all began.
每个设计师都有起点。这些是1999至2009年的精选作品——那些重要的时刻。
学生时代的实验、早期客户项目，以及我第一次意识到设计真正能改变些什么。它们被留在这里，不是作为高光时刻，而是作为一切起点的诚实证据。

Coca-Cola · 1999 — 2003
2000
Project zero. The beginning of a 26-year journey. Three days in, single-handed. 100,000 unit sales through a single campus channel.
项目代号：零。26年职业生涯的起点。入职三天，独立操刀。单一校园渠道，十万销量。
2001
Before 3D fluid sim was easy. One month, one junior, one 3D ice cube that finally looked like ice. Diet Coke, Shenyang.
3D流体模拟还没变容易的年代。一个月，一个大三学生，一块终于像冰的3D冰和水。健怡可乐，沈阳。
Blizzard · 2004 — 2006
2006
A self-directed gap year before grad school. No studio, no brief, not even a drawing tablet—just a mouse, a screen, and time spent alone with the work. A set of World of Warcraft illustrations, drawn entirely with a mouse, submitted to Blizzard's fan art program. The program had run for five years and processed tens of thousands of submissions; the response this time was an offer to join as an illustrator, and a personal note from a senior executive.
读研前的空档期。没有工作室，没有简报，没有数位板——只有一台电脑、一只鼠标，和自己安排的时间。画了一组魔兽世界插画，全程鼠标完成，投进了暴雪的玩家艺术计划。这个计划已运行五年，收到过数万份投稿；而这次的回应，是一份插画师offer，和一封来自高管的邮件。
"Blizzard Entertainment runs a Fan Art program though which thousands of amateur and professional artists have submitted works of art inspired by one of Blizzard's computer game titles. This program has been running for going on 5 years and while tens of the thousands of works of art have been submitted, only a very select number of exceptional quality pieces are chosen for display on our official Blizzard.com web site. Yun is one of the relative few artists who has been featured on the web site on multiple times for his works which are of impressive quality and it's been my pleasure to share them with our fan community. This is my personal view and does not represent an official endorsement by Blizzard Entertainment or Activision Blizzard."
Greenpeace · 2007 — 2013
2007 — 2013
"More freedom, more fun." In 2009, I ran a small agency. Greenpeace knocked—and it never felt like work. With an NGO, topics shifted wildly: palm oil, climate justice, ocean protection. Each brief demanded a new visual language. We experimented, played, and won a Best Design Award in Barcelona. But the real takeaway wasn't the award. Running the agency taught me to think beyond the canvas—to weigh creative instinct against business reality, to see the whole picture before touching a tool. That habit has followed me into every project since.
"创作自由，就是最好的回报。" 2009 年，我经营一家小广告公司。Greenpeace 找上门来——议题五花八门：棕榈油、气候正义、海洋保护。每张 brief 都是一套全新的视觉语言。我们玩得野，也拿了奖。但比奖杯更值钱的，是创业教会我的事——想清楚再动手。自己扛的时候，你不能只管好看不管落地，不能只管创意不管成本。这种习惯，后来跟了我很久。
Junk Drawer
A collection of odds and ends from the early days—student projects, late-night experiments, freelance gigs between semesters. Some rough, some weird, some surprisingly half-decent. They don't tell one story, but together they show someone who couldn't stop making stuff.
收一些很早以前的东西。学生作业、课余小活、深夜瞎捣鼓的玩意儿。有的粗糙，有的奇怪，有的回头看居然还行。它们串不成一个故事，但拼起来能看出——这个人，一直没停过手。
