到處都能生長，到處都能放映，這就是《野草》。
謝謝各位支持，讓我們與浪映画聯辦的四場《野草》放映及分享會均以滿座的形式完滿結束。流動放映成功嗎？店長暫時未能下到定論。但至少經過今次之後，大家會知道原來文具店也能看電影。
期待這個地方未來有更多有趣的事情發生，再次感謝導演Benson對月下的信賴。
"Wild Grass " can grow everywhere, and screenings can be held everywhere.
Thank you for your support. The four "Wild Grass" screenings and sharing sessions co-organized by us and Wave Pictures have all ended successfully with full houses. Was the screening successful? We don’t know. But at least after this, everyone will know that you can watch movies in a stationery store.
We look forward to more interesting things happening here in the future. Thank you Benson.
探索旅圖 Take A Break Couple Diary
月下首次參與的手帳工作坊終於都完滿結束了！感覺很好，參加者的投入和用心也超出了預期，謝謝明愛荃灣綜合家庭服務中心（下稱ifsctw)給予我這次機會，讓我能參與這麼有意義的工作坊，同時也要謝謝南豐紗廠提供場地。
「不完美婚姻」是一個非常有意思的題目，社會上經常都提倡著正能量和怎樣做一個好丈夫和好太太，卻忽略了大家其實都只是一個普通人，都會有犯錯和做得不夠好的地方，而怎樣接受對方的不完美和做好期望管理，反而才是最重要的課題。
最後，真的很喜歡大家分享工作坊得著的環節，大家從中所領悟到的道理和感受，正正是店長和ifsctw希望透過這次工作坊想傳達的信息，你們的感想，無疑就是這次工作坊最好的一個總結，謝謝大家。
The nocturnal first-ever workshop on journaling has successfully concluded! It felt great, and the participants' engagement and dedication exceeded expectations. A big thank you to the Caritas Integrated Family Service Centre - Tsuen Wan (IFSCTW) for giving me this opportunity to be part of such a meaningful workshop, and thank you The Mills for providing the venue.
"Imperfect Marriage" is a very meaningful topic. Society often promotes positive energy and how to be a good husband or wife, but it overlooks the fact that we are all just ordinary people who make mistakes and fall short at times. Learning to accept each other's imperfections and manage expectations is, in fact, the most important lesson.
Finally, I truly enjoyed the sharing session where everyone discussed their feeling about the workshop. The insights and feelings expressed by the participants perfectly aligned with the message that the store manager and IFSCTW aimed to convey through this workshop. Your reflections are the best conclusion to this experience. Thank you : )

《野草》故事簡介
暑假的長洲是鬧市外的一片樂土，三個小孩一隻狗，趁着島上居民出門旅遊或舉家移民，偷偷闖進不同人的家中，玩樂之餘，也透過孩童的目光，暗中破獲了成年人世界的秘密。
直至暑假結束，三個站在成長交叉點的孩子，也迎來了截然不同的命運⋯⋯
The Perks of Being Wild
A Debut Feature from Wave Pictures
Soon Screening All Around Hong Kong
The summer in Cheung Chua is a happy wonderland for children. Three local Cheung Chua kids and a dog break into the houses while many local residents are travelling or leaving Hong Kong for good. While having fun, the journeys also impart some unexpected lessons about the secrets of the adult world. When the summer is soon over, the trio is destined to depart at the cruel crossroad of youth.
Come and join the citywide screenings of The Perks of Being Wild. We connect different local communities and grow like wild wild weed.

BOOKLET DESIGN FOR T · PARK
Our new project collaborated with Environmental Protection Department. We completed the booklet design for T · PARK opening in June 2016.
T · PARK is a world-class sludge treatment facility in Nim Wan of Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. Designed by renowned French architect Claude Vasconi. The streamlined and wave form design was inspired by the surrounding sea and hills.
The concept behind T · PARK is simple and clear: a facility that transforms ‘waste-to-energy’. It combines a variety of advanced technologies with recreational,educational and ecological features in a single complex. It points the way to more sustainable future in Hong Kong, and sets high standards for green practices in building design.
The booklet design is inspired by the T · PARK logo (designed by Milkxhake). We tried to apply the wave forms in different combination in each chapter. The wave form proportion and shape are based on the logo and it is the characteristic of the architecture. The different combination of wave form is representing the possibility of ‘waste-to-energy’.
Booklet design: Ksana Design Studio
Naming and visual identity: Milkxhake
SKIM OF SKIN IN PALETTE NO.6: TRANSPARENT
Our long time ago project Skim of Skin has been featured in Viction:ary’s new book - PALETTE No.6: Transparent.
Transparency is a powerful attribute in design, carrying a personality that can be as glaring as hues. It extends and limits vision, spawns a sense of presence and absence and conceals and reveals content, luring viewers into exploring what lies beneath and beyond. Whether it is a tangible element or a conceptual idea that deceives the eyes, it is this beguiling layer that can make all the difference.

NEWWEBPICK INTERVIEW
Topong was invited by NEWWEBPICK to have an interview last month. The interview will be published in NewWebPick e-zine Issue 41 and it had been released. Now, we would like to share the interview content below, thank you NewWebPick and Danny's invitation.
Tell us a little bit about your background?
I am a native graphic designer whom born and raised in Hong Kong. I begin my interest in studying web and graphic design many years ago. After graduating from the college, I continued my studying on graphic design at Caritas Bianchi College of Careers and achieved an Gold Key award. As school finished, I worked in some small design studios in Hong Kong for some years. One day, I felt stuck, I felt that I was just too little, I had not seen enough to make me a better designer, I realized I really need to learn and feel more with my own eyes and hands, and to gain experiences on every chance I have come into. Hence, I decided to set up my own design studio, together with Ricky, my senior friend from school as my partner. I really thank Ricky for all his supports.
Who are your main inspirations? / What are your influences?
I do not like trapping myself inside the studio for long hours. In order to get inspirations, I love to go out, to see more, and to see what is happening around me, around the world. One of the benefits having my own studio is that I do not need to limit my work styles due to company’s rules, I do not have to limit myself at any time to go out for inspirations. Although I am not physically siting in the studio all day long, I know very well and am good at allocate time, meeting deadlines etc. I will and I can ensure every single work is to be done at a specific time on a specific date. I am proud to share with you that my time management skill is definitely a plus besides graphic design.
How do you keep motivated and interested?
Sources of inspirations are from all around. There are always designs around us, things we see, we touch, we feel can become the source of inspirations.
KenyaHara from Japan and Hung Lam from Hong Kong are my favorite designers, their design philosophy and values have affected me a lot, also, my computer teacher back in the college also moved me a lot, he encouraged me to do what I am good at and to really enjoy in it, if this is not him who encourage me, I might not go for graphic design, but in business administration.
I love hanging around in the bookstores, reading increase my sensitivities to the world, to things happening around. I often say I got fully charged after sinking myself in the design books, and often impulse me to return to the studio immediately to start my design. Recently, I also browse onto some design sites to search for different types of design from other parts of the world to
broader my perspectives.
Do you have any new projects coming up that you can tell us about?
We do have several brand design projects on discussion process now, wish us luck.
Any words you would like to pass it to new comer designers?
Ask yourself if you really enjoy in designs, if you really like it and enjoy doing it, I believe you will find a way of your own. Modesty and sense of responsibility is absolutely are must. In my opinion, modesty is the strongest weapon as you continue to progress, while responsibility, include your own concept of time, the education of customers and your respect for the design, to at least do not be late, and do not participate in unpaid bidding and plagiarism etc.
I ponder consider that design can be a slow progress, no one expects you to start to be a master, but if you have a wrong state of mind, it will be so difficult to step your way back.
Any final comments?
KSANA is still growing, we are not yet a very outstanding studio, but we are always improving and trying to climb up to the top. We will keep exploding ideas and enthusiasm on our designs to make better and more powerful work! Thank you again for NEWWEBPICK to give us this opportunity to let the world to know about KSANA.
