XIAO QING-YANG
Shout ! Shout's design studio where he has created startlingly fresh images for many of Taiwan's important records and music events. Though he works in a world of "stars" and "wanna be stars", Shout stays grounded in family life, living and working in his home studio, accompanied by his wife, three children and plenty of friends. He has titled his book "imagine, my generation". This is, first a loving reference to the Beatles and The Who but also it points readers to a time which was, in Shout's eyes, more about how people felt about each other than our more selfish "what can you give me" times. It's Shout's unpretentious love for music and people that clears the way for his wild imagination to take flight. Ironically, but not surprisingly, this down to earth designer just became the first Taiwanese person ever to be nominated for a U.S Grammy award in 2005 and 2008. In turning the pages of this collection you'll see why and become part of the many looking forward to seeing where and what comes next from the big-hearted and incredibly creative designer known as "Shout"!
