Huang Li (left)
My son Karl (age 12) and I have spent the past few days in southern China with Mr Huang Li, editor of Package and Design Magazine based in Guangzhou. Package and Design is one of two official, government-owned design magazines in China. It's pretty much like Communication Arts in the U.S. in quality and stature.
Huang Li and I have become good friends over the past few years. Originally, he soght me out because of my work with the AIGA Center fotr CrossCultural Design. Since then, he has taken me under his wing and introduced me to many of his friends in China. Kao Jun is one of these introductions. His son, Huang Shan, also came to stay at my home this summer and to intern with me in Utah.
This last few days, Karl and I stayed at Huang Li's home in Guangzhou, as a base for for our adventures in Shenzhen and Zhongshan, a tremendous honor.

Christopher and Carl; How exciting, Chinese Element reminds me a little of the Element skateboard brand. I wonder if Element was asian influenced or vis versa.

My guess is that the two brands are not influenced by each other. Thanks for commenting.
