Fraps images of final EXP3 design - Zhang Yin
This image is actually showing the part of the bridge where it meets the meeting space. The meeting space constitutes of a long "vertical tunnel" - this part could also be considered as part of Zhang Yin's space as the elevator reflecting her character, is the means of access between the meeting space and Slim's space and Yin's. Although a bit difficult to see due the glare of the light, the elevator can be seen at the bottom, at the end of the tunnel. Again, this vertical lift - the rising up etc helps emphasise on the progression of one to power. It reminds us that in order to possess such power, one has to work hard and that it usually is a slow, gradual process.
Yin's space comprises of blocks "floating" in mid air. This is done to underline the notion of superiority - someone with power is someone who is almost divine, mystifying etc. Access to each little space is through elevators as well as (as seen in this image) ramps. Note the elevator in the background of the image.
Stairs were included as part of gaining access to Yin's space. They further emphasise on the idea of slowly and gradually gaining power. In this image as well as other other ones below, it is clearer to see the individual and singular working spaces - they almost act as cells. This was purposely done, not only to reveal the connection with the similarities between Slim and her, but also bring to people's attention the tight and strict upbringing Yin underwent (military).
As seen in this image, as well as the ones above, the use of colour was designed in such a way to show certain ideas reflecting the client's character. In contrast to Slim, Yin is portrayed as a warm person who, judged by the manner in which she works, is also conveyed as humble. This "warmth" is reflected in the use of warm colours such as red, orange and yellow. One can also see the use of "rising" platforms to show what has been mentioned before (like Slim).
