The EASY SHOOT BAG, designed by Ma Xinyuan and Ruan Junting, is a camera-specific backpack with modularity, all-weather protection and intelligent interconnection, solving the pain points for professional photography users. It uses a three-stage modular structure to cater to the needs of multiple scenarios. The bag has a three-stage detachable design that enables users to combine capacity modules according to shooting needs, providing brand-new experience for photo-shooting.

 

 

The Nanyue Fantasy, designed by Li Minyi, is inspired by the Nanyue King Museum. Through on-site inspection, she designed fonts and logos based on inscribed wooden slips from the collection. Li also created characters inspired by artifacts depicting animals and mythical beasts. The final work integrates these elements into posters and cultural creative products, bridging historical culture with modern aesthetics. 
The Lanqiao Cup Visual Art Design Competition has been listed for five consecutive years in the “National Ranking List of Discipline Competitions for Regular Higher Education Institutions” by the China Association of Higher Education.
