Bojun Tan, a New Jersey-based graphic designer, has nurtured a deep passion for creating art since childhood. Throughout his career, Bojun has specialized in branding and typography, primarily collaborating with food and cultural startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your creative background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, I’m Bojun Tan, a New Jersey-based graphic designer with a deep love of making art since childhood. Over my career, I’ve developed a specialty in branding and typography and worked primarily with food and cultural startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work is often seen as futuristic, as I love to employ new techniques. However, I strive not to let style be my limitation and to evolve my design approach continuously. Whether making something look modern or adding a touch of quirkiness, my work aims to catch the eye and tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


My motivation to become a creator has been gradually changing. As a child, this drive stemmed from a strong desire to create: I was willing to tirelessly refine the details to paint a picture I liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I grew older, I gradually understood that there are complex meanings behind art techniques, such as concepts and emotions. A work completed long ago can still inspire new ideas in people. Nowadays, my reason for creating encompasses curiosity and exploration: design techniques need to be correct, but more importantly, they should be fun and poetically expressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a freelance graphic designer, I aim not only to do good designs but also to build productive relationships with clients. Each client has unique backgrounds and expectations, driving me to quickly understand different styles, techniques, and perspectives. I have a diverse skill set that fits various types of client needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, my clients trust my artistic decisions because we are on the same page. A good design is always a testament to our collaborative effort, and I work hard to make something we’re both proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does creativity mean to you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity is the process of seeking meaning and purpose in all sorts of contexts. Therefore, creativity is not only crucial for artists but is essential for everyone’s personal life. The ability to find meaning can be used not only to create art and design works but also to solve problems and challenges in personal life, enhancing happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, creativity keeps people curious, enabling them to continuously learn new skills and interests. Creativity can improve an artist’s level and make everyone’s life more enjoyable. Hence, I think creativity is not only key to art but also crucial for self-fulfillment and life satisfaction. Fortunately, creativity is closely related to my work and has made me a better person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a ‘creative’ idea and\/or design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think a creative piece of design often has its “vitality” that makes people see it differently over time. Therefore, creativity comes with a lot of excitement and responsibility. As a designer, I must embrace the serendipity in creation and let my design “live” on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A creative idea has an openness and should be interpreted in multiple ways, making my job very fascinating. I must also keep learning, ensuring my works provoke thoughts in different contexts without causing misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
