Small Town Tourism Advertising by Meng Chih Chiang Taiwan Small Town Ramble is a tourism advertising campaign created to promote the small towns of Taiwan. The campaign uses buses in Singapore that carry a three-dimensional installation of a traditional Taiwanese house. A swallowtail roof, a local architectural style, is placed on the top of each bus. Decorative tiles with floral patterns cover the lower half. Both elements are iconic images of traditional Taiwanese towns. A sculpted swallow nest, long seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity, completes the installation.

Pride Shrike Mascot Design by Meng Chih Chiang Pride Shrike is a mascot designed for a national high school athletic event held in Pingtung, Taiwan. The mascot is based on the brown shrike, the official bird of Pingtung County, chosen in place of the monkey figures long associated with the city. Ornithologists were consulted so that the black eye mask, the reddish upper body and the white-tipped tail are shown accurately. The mascot was drawn in both graphic and three-dimensional form and was adapted into animated stickers for a widely used messaging application. The aim is to promote sport and the host region.
