Four chapters.
One archive.

Use the numbered controls or left and right arrow keys. Each step shows the work through its own real material.

01 / EDITORIAL SYSTEMGALOK
FIELD NOTES

A website language for moving between argument, visual evidence and independent publication.

02 / PROJECT INDEX

Built in public.

Every project remains connected to the live result. Scope, intent and outcome sit beside the images.

Goal: connect essays, cities and visual evidence without flattening them into one template. Result: a modular archive with one navigation and distinct reading modes.

Three lenses

Goal: make a mixed essay archive easier to read. Result: View, Frame and Observe act as stable distances rather than separate content silos.

03 / CASE STUDIES

Decisions behind the surface.

Three systems are opened up here: the editorial site, the city archive and the data-led longform report.

01Editorial system / 2026

GALOK FIELD NOTES

One magazine, several ways of seeing.

The site had to hold essays, city records, moving image and printed editions without forcing every format into the same page. A shared editorial spine now carries navigation, type, captions and archive relationships while each subject keeps its own visual temperature.

Intent
Make a mixed personal practice legible as one publication.
Role
Research, writing, art direction, interface design and implementation.
Result
A public archive with stable routes, five city records and eleven essays.

CITIES / BE A VIEWER

Let each city keep its weather.

Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Xiamen and Hangzhou use different colour, pacing and image logic. Their shared chapter structure, literary spreads and return paths make the series readable as one body of work.

Intent
Record cities without flattening them into a tourism template.
Material
Photography, film, literature, field captions and editorial editions.
Decision
Consistency lives in structure; atmosphere remains city-specific.

03Research issue / 2026

DATA / CHINA

Read the gap between headline and household.

The research issue places growth beside household pressure, employment, property, local finance and outside institutional readings. Interactive charts appear where comparison helps; source notes remain attached to every claim.

Intent
Show what one national number cannot explain on its own.
Method
Cross-source research, editorial writing, chart design and responsive longform.
Rule
Every visual must advance the argument or leave the page.
