Abstract
This study examines two case studies by final-year students at York University, Toronto, Canada. These students are both of Chinese descent, with parents who migrated from Hong Kong to Canada at different times. The first case study is a language learning kit designed by a student born in Canada and whose parents migrated in the 1970s. She speaks little Cantonese, and this project reflects her experiences learning the language. The second case study is a research and book design project on design elements of Chinese restaurants in North America. This student, who migrated with her parents in the 1980s, has a better command of Chinese. With greater knowledge of Chinese cultures and language, this project can be viewed as a search for Chinese identity in a Western context through a very common sight for the student: Chinese restaurants. This paper argues that these two cases represent different degrees of investigation of transnational visual design languages, created by the students in an unplanned way. Further discussion will center on questions dealing with the contemporary reception of Chinese cultural elements in the context of a globalized world, and inquire as to whether its visual expression forms can become an international design style in the future. This study contributes to the emergence of transnational design in the global context, a topic that is currently underdeveloped in world design education.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
