Some like to compare Hong Kong designs with those of Italy and New York.  A fair comparison is hard considering the different cultural, social and historic backgrounds of these countries. Even if Hong Kong designers win hundreds of awards abroad, this does not mean that Hong Kong designers are etter?than designers from other countries.  It is like saying Chinese film directors are 詁etter?than their US counterpart because Ang Lee won an Oscar for the movie  訡rouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? A claim like that would be too superficial!  On the other hand, some are asking if designers from the mainland are 詁etter?than Hong Kong designers. There may be an answer to this question if one sees a dramatic increase of invitations for mainland designers to give talks and seminars in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong designers have achieved excellent results on the international design arena winning many awards between themselves including D&AD, Art Directors Club, Graphis and Communication Arts.  This only goes to show that Hong Kong design are recognized for its exceptionally high international standard.

Looking ahead, there are many Hong Kong designers who have a deep passion for design and one can expect to see even more exciting work from Hong Kong.(by MICHAEL MILLER YU)
