Cropmark is a group formed by me and my classmate Raymond Cheung Wai Ming in 2013.
To play hard, we had gone to Japan and recorded down what we saw and experienced by mainly photography and video. We had presented them through the social medias such as Facebook, Instagram and Vimeo. At mean time, we tried to get to know more about Japan in a design way with investigating the environment and people. In the coming future, Cropmark will develop into an inspiring place for people to get involved in design and have more fun in their life.
A design store - Zixag had sponsored us 2 Michael Young suitcases and we promoted it in the trip.
The first clip we took in both HK and Beijing since the flight delay.
Finally arrived Tokyo Nui. Hostel & Bar.
2 Korean art students roomates. Nui. bar & hostel is a nice hostel with cool interior design and concept.
Meeting a Japanese design student Kai Watanabe we knew from FB. We had a great talk about design.
That's the second clip we took and wanna thanks Kai.
Captured a lot of photos with a story, we opend our eyes and heart there and discovered the best.
A lot of amazing pictures by digital or film, this is Kyoto and the life pace there is very comfortable.
We write compositions about daily life & design in social medias like FB.
In Expo 70’s Park, that’s one of the scenes of our favourite japanese comic.
The last clip we summarize the days we were in Tokyo
Free Postcard in the booth of txtbox in 2013 Hong Kong Polytechinic University Graduation Show - Design Moves was the first open project of #CropMark after we came back to HK. By using the photos we shoot in Japan, I have contacted a writer to help us to create 2 senteces to be used in the postcard. The postcards carry message with the photographs and we hope visitors can write to their friends or those they love. If they write at there and put the post card in the jar at once, we will help them to post all of them. Some of them are from locals, China and even Malaysia but all of them carry messages after they wrote anything, so we are gonna post them soon.
That's the booth that placed all the postcards.
We are always missing the past, how can we move on while looking back?
Life is everchanging, everyone knows, but after tomorrow, is this everchanging still in your mind?
Where have you been? Reply at once when you see my words!
I have a long time didn't write to you, do I have a nice handwriting?
We have collected a number of postcards and ready to post.
After the trip, we write posts about what we have met in daily, LIke the typhoon no.8.
We keep contacted with the 2 Korean girls and they sent us photos of Korea.
We had shared the story in our Page and we will definitely keep moving on.
