This artwork is based on a short story in an article.
"Once, while backpacking deep in the backcountry inside the park, she and a friend heard footsteps outside their tent, even though there were no other hikers around".—Spooky Tales from Haunted National Parks
This work uses contrast of colors to create a tense and dangerous atmosphere, and uses a close-to-ground perspective to help the audience understand and immerse themselves in the story.
Sketches & Color Roughs
The original idea of this work was available in multiple versions, including focusing the work on the backpacker’s fear of emotions or the story that the backpacker is surrounded by invisible “people”. The final selected illustration draft not only shows the backpacker's fear, but also shows the compactness of the backpacker being surrounded in the composition.

Holiday cards are one of the ways to convey feelings between people. This is a Qingming Festival card. The illustration has a sad tone and wants to convey the longing for the deceased family.
Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It is not only an important solar term, but also a day to worship ancestors and sweep the tombs, so it is also called "outing festival" or "tomb sweeping festival".

Ideas & Sketches
In the final selected illustration, the tall ancestor soul is regarded as a reliable elder. They is tolerant and caring for the younger generation. The younger generation shows her longing, gratitude, and respect for their ancestor.
Since Qingming Festival is an ancestor worship activity, it is a time for Chinese people to remember their ancestors and seek peace and smoothness in the next year, which is of great significance.

This illustration represents Hanjun's inner thoughts on human nature. The piece portrays an adult man returning home—while he appears strict and composed on the outside, the presence of adorable creatures in his home reveals his genuine love for all things cute. Through this work, Hanjun aims to convey that regardless of how society defines a person, one should always stay true to their heart and essence.

This graphic design is designed as a fish food packaging. Some of its advantages as packaging design are that it has a lot of dynamic visual guides and color contrasts with strong visual impact.
