Creative Shenzhen
30年前，中國改革開放的總設計師鄧小平"在中國的南海邊劃了一個圈"，從此，世界誕生了一個新的城市：深圳。這是中國第一個經濟特區(qū)，幾十年間海內外有識之士創(chuàng)業(yè)的目的地。
Part1 (History) 30 years ago, Deng Xiaoping, the mastermind of China's Reform and Opening-up Policy, “drew a circle near the South China Sea" on the map. This gave birth to a new city in the world: Shenzhen---- China’s first special economic zone. Since then, Shenzhen has become the destination of entrepreneurs all over the world.
這個被創(chuàng)造出來的移民城市，多元包容是它的文化特質。人們來自五湖四海，在這里和諧相處。在創(chuàng)造了無數經濟奇跡的同時，深圳作為中國現(xiàn)代平面設計的發(fā)源地，平面設計水平一直引領全國風向。 Shenzhen has become a city of migrants after decades of development. Diversified culture and inclusiveness are the two distinctive characteristics of the city. People in Shenzhen, living harmoniously in the city, come from all over China and the world, As a place that has created numerous economic miracles, Shenzhen is also the birthplace of modern graphic design in China. Its graphic design has been leading the trend in the nation.
2008年，"創(chuàng)意中國"當代設計展在英國國立維多利亞阿爾伯特博物館隆重舉辦。這是有史以來在英國舉辦的最大型的中國當代設計展。 In 2008, the "Creative China" Contemporary Graphic Design Exhibition was held grandly in the UK National Victoria and Albert Museum. This was the largest Chinese exhibition of contemporary graphic design held in the United Kingdom ever. Through the exhibition, visitors learned that Shenzhen is the city witnessing the first generation of Chinese graphic designers. The exhibition also introduced China’s great developments in the form of graphic design and visual presentation. Part2（設計成就） 隨著平面設計的崛起，創(chuàng)意文化和設計產業(yè)迅速發(fā)展起來。 在中國設計界，"深圳"有著怎樣的地位和影響呢？
With the emergence of graphic design, creative culture and the design industry has begun developing rapidly in Shenzhen. In the Chinese design community, what kind of status and influence does SHENZHEN have?
深圳設計師們已經成為中國設計界最為活躍的一支力量。 他們幾乎獲得過世界上所有頂級設計賽事和國際展覽的獎項。 目前，國際平面設計聯(lián)盟（AGI）有4名會員來自深圳。

Part3（工業(yè)設計●設計產業(yè)） 深圳已經成為世界的制造業(yè)中心之一。 "工業(yè)設計"是科技與藝術的多學科綜合設計，是先進制造業(yè)的核心靈魂。 從"深圳制造"向"深圳創(chuàng)造"轉換，為這座城市帶來了新的競爭力。 Shenzhen has become one of the world's manufacturing centers. "Industrial design" is a multidisciplinary concept and it is a combination of science and art. It is also the soul of the advanced manufacturing industry. The transformation from "Made in Shenzhen" to "Created by Shenzhen " will give a boost to the city’s competitiveness.

如今，深圳的城市發(fā)展已經不僅僅是一種速度的領先，它無處不在地滲透著現(xiàn)代設計的意念。 這個中國夢想的實驗場，永遠打開著大門，吸引著世界好奇的目光。 Wherever there is life, there is design. Everyone lives amidst design. Today, Shenzhen’s leading status is reflected not only in its development speed, but also in its modern design concepts. As a city that has carried out many China’s pilot projects, Shenzhen will always open to the world and attract the world’s attention.
