If you have to do a Hong Kong issue for Pixelsurgeon. What would you do? How would you apply the elements/stuff you have seen in Hong Kong?

A + R: We are going to create a special feature on Pixelsurgeon about H.K. design. Similar to the “women in design” feature by Rina. Our starting point will be the handful of H.K. web designers we know: such as Francis Lam, Pixelsurgeon are contributing editors), Benna Lo, Mlee, and Pan Chan, but still branch out to include as many H.K. designers we think are cool. Pixelsurgeon is already very sympathetic to Asian designers (Rina is from H.K.) and we have links and contributors from all over the world: Jemma Gura (NY), Andrew (Australia), Jade (Australia), Erin (Japan).

Before the feature we’ll be doing a world tour special showing all the photographs from Hong Kong + IDN Fresh in Sydney. We’ll introduce elements of Chinese typography + design into the feature, but we’re not quit sure how yet!! Until I sit down at the Mac, I usually have no idea how the design will turn out!!!

“･jｴb･J Design” – Possible title for feature on Hong Kong designers!

About Pixelsurgeon

A: Pixelsurgeon is a web portal aimed at designers creatives + people who like the strange end of the web. We use a lot of humour in our news postings – we’ll news strange stuff not just cool websites. So we appeal to a broader section of the web community than surfstation + k10k + DiK. We also have broader interview subjects such as bands (DJ VADIM, ORGANIC AUDIO, THERAPY? etc) As well as designers.

R: Pixelsurgeon, based in London UK, Jason Arber, Richard May and Rina Cheung. Pixelsurgeon is a friendly design portal for designers, packed with the latest news, gossip, hot tips for everybody. Because it’s a friendly site we don’t believe in “titles” as such but we all specialises in different areas such as Jason (new media), Richard May (illustration), and Rina Cheung (print graphics).

Thanks to Jason Arber and Rina Cheung for doing this interview! Wish there will be another chance seeing you in H.K. again!
