what is my designing style?

I have read through my blog and thought about my colour and tendency for designing...


*simple-line drawing, pictogram
*colourful but prefer to pick primal colours
*craft like, love handmade not only use computer work.
*story telling
*love to put hidden concepts behind works
*not really antique like much closer to modern?
*favourite fonts-century, century gothic, american typewriter


mmm will think about that deeply from now on.
However it's good to think these things for developing myself and potentiality.
Yes all humans are on the line of growth!

emerge

emerge exhibition

It's very late to report about this exhibition though...
anyway, i joined the first emerge exhibition in London Design Festival 2009.
I exhibited "emotional baggages" from my final major project in my university.
It was quite good experience to join such as well organised exhibition and I felt I was kind of a guest designer.
Hope I will have another chance to join London Design Festival. I will come back one day!

gooooooooood and bad bad bad bad....

Good type and Bad type (2008)

This project is designing Good type and Bad type.
My point of view of good type is...
should be simple, easy to deliver information to viewer, and playful/humorous. (As enjoyment is vital for our lives)
Bad type should have obscurity and disgust. Lack of communication is the worst thing for designing, i think.
While in designing, I focused on the sounds that the words themselves have.

I tried to make good type work with small enjoyment. When you open the folding paper little by littel, "good" part would be longer. it is like sound of "gooooooood" and it makes people feel better than bad.
My bad type work is full of bad logos. It's hard to look at for long time, and people would feel bad when they are surrounded by countless bad.
People would be positive and also negative by words, this is the magic of words have.

typography tells a story

Typography for Plugs PV

(2007)

Click here to watch the video on youtube.

(see my typo works around 1:25)

This is collaboration works with Japanese motion graphic artist Shinpei Okumura, and I made typography works for London based indie band Plugs.

I quite like this work as I listen their music and make imagination from melody and lyrics.

We tried to make psychedelic image for PV as the band requested.
