Illustrator Yue Zhang Explores Visual Narrative in Zine 'Let's go to the park'

Beijing-based illustrator and graphic designer Yue Zhang is featured in an Illustrator Spotlight, presenting the zine 《Let's go to the park》 as an experiment in visual language. The publication builds its narrative entirely from imagery rather than text, drawing on moments Zhang observed while zoning out in a park: the playful exchanges between a dog and its owner, ripples circling in a fountain, and a sudden rainstorm. These separate observations were merged into a single short piece. Zhang describes illustration as a way of connecting to daily life and locating beauty amid disorder, giving visual shape to inner feelings and experiences. Each project is treated as an adventure, with a specialty in translating written text into vivid visual narratives. The zine is presented alongside a portfolio of images and links to Zhang's website and Instagram account.
