Illustrator Steven Wilson was commissioned to create 4 typographic gifs for Johns Hopkins SAIS Magazine’s celebratory cover story on the 35th year anniversary of the Hopkins-Nanjing Center. For his gifs, Steve was prompted to play with English and Mandarin words that sum up the center’s goals of connection, diplomacy, leadership, and long term vision. The center is known for being an ‘oasis of academic learning’ that crosses cultural divides despite all the diplomatic and pandemic challenges faced along its history.
