The final is an upgraded version of the tiebreaker.
All the topics were selected by the judges in a meeting before the competition began.
The 10 finalists will randomly select a theme and begin creating on the spot, with a 30-minute creation period.
Within 30 minutes, participating designers not only had to complete design sketches, but also 4D model drawings, which would be the final product.
inspiration.
Creativity.
Hand speed.
Completeness.
Not to mention that during those 30 minutes, each contestant's work went from scratch to its initial form and finally to the finished product, all of which was presented to the 10 judges and more than 600 designers on site.
The pressure is immense.
"Now, please invite the 10 finalists to draw their own themes."
There were 10 workstations in the stands at the finals venue, fully equipped with computers and drawing paper.
Ten computers are synchronized on the large screen behind them.
There is no prescribed order.
The designers politely deferred to each other when choosing their positions, and then selected one of the 10 squares.
On the big screen, the 10-grid layout is flipped over.
The topics are completely different.
There are names that can easily create a preconceived notion, such as "Qingdai," "Xueye," and "Yulinglong."
There are also works with a strong ancient Chinese style, such as "Drunken Beauty", "West River Moon", and "Mountain Pavilion Willow".
There are also phrases that leave people scratching their heads, such as "ancient road, west wind, lean horse," "a river of spring water flows eastward," and "do you know, do you know, it should be green leaves and red flowers."
The most attractive one was the one chosen by Xie Chenlu.
"One? What kind of question is this? I've been thinking about it for ages and still can't figure it out."
"This must have been the hardest question of the whole event, right? And the expert just happened to pick it. Is this fate?"
"I'm so frustrated I'm going bald from thinking about it. I can't come up with anything even in 30 days, let alone 30 minutes! It's true, not everyone can make it to the finals."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
On stage, one of the 10 designers had already started drawing.
The designers had their backs to the large screen, so they couldn't see anyone else or their work on the screen.
However, in the large screen divided into 10 images, you can see each designer's drawing paper and computer screen.
Xie Chenlu was still staring blankly at the blank drawing paper and computer.
Wan Mingyi scribbled away on the drawing paper with her pencil.
The other eight designers were mostly the same.
The huge venue was completely silent.
"This is so hard!"
Jolian looked down at the question she had just saved as a photo on her phone, her face full of worry. "President Ye, do you have any ideas?"
After saying that, he realized something was off, so Jolian shook his head and grabbed Ye Li's arm. "You must already have an idea, right?... Beautiful, kind, and powerful fairy boss, please tell me! Please!"
Otherwise, before the finals even ended, she would have lost all her hair and her heart would have stopped beating.
Ye Li glanced at Jolian's phone screen with a smile, "Qingdai Xueye Yulinglong, plus Shanting Liu, can be designed with gemstones of corresponding materials, taking into account the colors in their names. If it were me, I would design a bracelet and a pair of hair ornaments with black jade for Qingdai. Then, I would pair it with a gray-green veil, and simply make it into an ancient style."
Perhaps because the prototypes drawn by the designers on stage were still not very clear, the time dragged on and became too boring.
Perhaps, he has been paying attention to Ye Li from the very beginning.
Almost as soon as Ye Li opened her mouth, the designers on both sides and in the row behind her crowded around her.
"The 'Drunken Beauty' and 'West River Moon' and 'West Wind and Lean Horse' are actually quite easy to work with. If the artistic conception is right, any design will be right. For example, 'Drunken Beauty' focuses on the beauty of blooming flowers and prosperity. 'West River Moon' and 'West Wind and Lean Horse' should be beautiful and desolate. The same goes for 'A River of Spring Water'. Everyone has their own interpretation, so any design will be right."
I could feel people gathering around me.
Ye Li didn't hold back, only raising her voice slightly, "Of the 10 questions, the most difficult are actually 'One' and 'Green Fat and Red Thin.' The former is ambiguous, while the latter, if designed well, can be appreciated by both the refined and the common, but if designed poorly, it's a disastrous combination of red and green."
Glancing at Xie Chenlu and Wan Mingyi, who had already started writing on the stage, Ye Li smiled and said, "But for our idol and Sister Mingyi, these two topics are exactly what they wanted!"
My head was completely fuzzy just a moment ago.
After listening to Ye Li's analysis, the designers watching seemed to have some ideas.
I was interested in exchanging ideas, but on the big screen, 10 design prototypes gradually emerged.
The design process is also a process of understanding the other party's creative ideas.
The designers in the audience returned to their seats and began to watch intently.
While the other designers were still revising their drawings on paper, Xie Chenlu was the first to open the design software.
On the drawing paper beside him was a jumble of messy lines, making it impossible to tell whether he was designing a necklace, bracelet, ring, or brooch.
Ye Li noticed it.
His gaze widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Ye Li was right after all, Qingdai is a black jade bracelet, amazing!"
"Yu Linglong's pair of white marble dragon and phoenix ornaments have so many elements! Although they're not finished yet, the outlines are already there... Oh dear, I'm so anxious for her!"
"I just can't understand Wan Mingyi's 'lush greenery and faded red flowers'."
The once empty screen gradually filled up.
The quiet meeting room gradually filled with sounds.
As the 3-minute countdown began, even the judges in the whispering panel couldn't help but sit up straight.
When one of the ten images went black, there was a brief uproar in the audience.
The host began by explaining, "Designer number 021 was the first to complete his design!"
