Autumn Twilight It is pleasant to be bathed in the autumn sunshine that is slightly obscured by the thin clouds, and enjoy the beautiful scenery among mountains and rivers. As the ancient Chinese poet Han Yu sang, “Light clouds obscure the autumn sunshine and drizzles fall to the ground.” In this design, the interplay between light and shadow on the French windows reproduces the scene of sunlight and tree shadows, as if the glow of a setting sun penetrates the forest. In this way, the charm of transparence and profundity emerges. Bright colors, such as beige, salmon and water blue, are combined with the calming earth tones to create an elegant and luxurious atmosphere, as well as the comfort life with Eastern aesthetics.

Ishikawa Brewery Co. Ltd

The logo looks like a carpenter's square and represents the Ishikawa family's venerable business. The square also implies the company's straightforward and honest personality. Within the square appears a Kanji form of the Japanese word 石 ( ishi, meaning “stone”), an element in the Ishikawa family name.

Ishikawa Brewery was established in 1863, by the Ishikawa family. Although originating as a sake company, from 1887 to 1888 they experimented with beer. Then, after 111 years, in 1998, they revived the beer brewery. For maximum flavor, they used superior-quality mineral water from deep underground. They think of themselves as “backseat” brewers enabling their consumers' happy dining.

Ishikawa Brewery's labels exemplify the company's classic style. The colors were selected to compliment the personalities of the beers. In the center of each label appears an illustration either of a traditonal-looking ship or of the brewery building, itself. Both are depicted in a Japanese style, making the labels as rich in local color as are the company's brews.

During the transition from the 17th to the 18th century,

THE HISTORY OF JAPANESE TATTOO

Japanese tattooing transformed from punishment to decoration. At the beginning of the Meiji period, to make a good impression on the West, the Japanese government outlawed tattoos. Yet traditional tattooing continued underground and can still be found on the bodies of the underclass, such as firemen, laborers, Oirans (courtesans) and gangs.

Irezumi ( 入れ墨 ) is the Japanese word for “tattoo” but suggests disapproval of the practice. Horimono ( 彫り物 ), however, meaning to engrave, often refers to traditional Japanese

tattooing because it implies positivity and artistry. More recently, wabori ( 和彫り ) was created to indicate specifically Japanese tattoos, and tebori ( 手彫り ) Japanese hand tattooing.

恶

Furthermore, a Japanese tattooist is called horishi. Once a tattooist debuts, he will be given the title “Hori” ( 彫 ) before his name, stating his mastery of craft and artisanship. Fireman of the Edo period

Author/ Utagawa Yoshitora

Japanese tattooing can be traced back to the Jomon period, with evidence showing that many clay figurines from ancient tombs were engraved on the face. The earliest documentation of this tradition is the Records of the Three Kingdoms compiled in the 3rd century, which recorded that “men young and old, all tattoo their faces and decorate their bodies with designs”. By the 7th Century, influenced by Chinese culture, tattooing in Japan morphed from being decorative to punitive. Nihon Shoki, finished in 720, first recorded Japanese tattooing as an act of punishment: the Emperor declared Hamako Muraji's rebellion was punishable by the death penalty, but the Emperor sentenced him to be tattooed as an alternative punishment. During the Edo period (1603–1868), Japanese tattooing turned into a method of punishment for criminals who commit severe crimes, such as murder, betrayal, and treason. Criminals were tattooed on their foreheads or arms to reveal themselves to the public. Because tattoo markings

Carpenter of the Edo period Author/ Tanekiyo Ryusuitei

were related to criminals during this period, the negative perspective towards tattoos continues even today in Japan.

In the early 18th century, pictorial tattooing began to flourish with the development of ukiyo-e and popular culture in Edo. Japanese woodblock prints created by artists, such as Toyohara Kunichika and Utagawa Kuniyoshi became references for tattoo themes and styles.

Artist/ Yoshiki Yoshiki ( 由杞 ) is an illustrator given to cats and coffee. She renders her characters as smiling, shy, placidly feline beings aflush within their own purring nimbus of sweetness, leaving their viewers afloat in lovely feelings. She renders every piece with an amorously unconscious eye devoted to an invisible but central triangular structure luring the viewer's awareness to the quavering core of the image: a point every illustrator can learn from.

KIHIN brand is known as the best quality brand among Maana oranges. The small, thin-skin orange has a delicious sweet taste complimented with a bit of sourness that make the brand stand out. In addition to the highlight of the taste, designers want to accent the brand with an appealing regionality of the production area. Because the Chinese characters of KIHIN(貴賓) is sometimes too difficult even for the Japanese to read, the designers replaced their core with their corresponding Japanese (katakana) alphabets“ キヒン” , to make it easier to pronounce.The design appears to be simple, yet a great amount of efforts were put in such details. 94

Hay Market is a restaurant set in the sprawling grounds of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. With Hong Kong Jockey Club’s pedigree as a British Colonial entity, the basis of the brand concept and language is British eccentricity. Inspired by vibrant jockey silks with centuries of history, the restaurant’s visual language is an eclectic mix of bold geometric shapes juxtaposed with vintage British typography and Victorian illustrations from old advertisements. The brand's logo is a playful update on classic letterforms and also functions as a blank canvas, allowing for quirky permutations when combined with different illustrations.

Steven Larkin designed this project for his Book Binding course. Based on photos of iconic Brutalist architecture shot by himself and articles on the Brutalist movement from Wikipedia and Dezeen, he created this Coptic-bound book on architecture. Two 3mm-thick boards are used for the covers to remind the reader of concrete. The first section is an introduction, with contents and articles on Brutalist designers and critiques of the movement, printed on bright orange paper, inspired by the design of the Barbican Centre. The sections for each building are made up of mostly grey concrete-like pages, with an orange sheet for the introduction. A full-color image is printed on bright white paper for the centrefold in each section. Waxed linen thread for the binding matches the orange paper.

A spinning flower blossom is the symbol used in the logo; it represents the diversity and vitality of Asian cultures and an effort to preserve their traditions. The main dominant form is a simple circle. By combining seven circles, the shape of a six-petaled flower is formed. The additional icons of four elements were created by dissecting the same shape and tweaking the resulting parts.

Bronze Inscriptions

Small Seal Script

There was another script in use in the Shang dynasty in addition to the oracle inscription: bronze inscriptions. They had been used for more than 1,200 years, from the Shang dynasty to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC–221BC). This script is called the Bronze Script was because the characters were cast in bronze bells and vessels–symbols of power and status. Based on the identifiable 2,420 characters, included in Jinwen Bian,the most basic reference work of bronze inscriptions, most of them are compound ideograms, vivid as drawings. And the content of those bronze in-scriptions concerns the achievements of ancestors and princes as well as records of major historical events.

Basing on the Large Seal Script, the Prime Minister of the Qin dynasty (221BC—207BC) unified variant forms of characters in different states, transforming them into the Small Seal Script as the formal script for China. Compared to the Large Seal Script, the Small Seal Script is more concise, regular, and coordinated, with more orderly character patterns and weaker pictorial features. More importantly, this reform rendered all characters as rough block shapes. The Small Seal Script was popularly used until the late Western Han dynasty(202BC—AD8), when it was replaced by the Clerical Script.

Large Seal Script

Originating from the late Western Zhou dynasty (1046 BC –771 BC), the Large Seal Script was widely used in the State of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC–221 BC). The Large Seal Script is roughly referred to scripts before the emergence of the Small Seal Script, so it is transitional. It shows two significant developments: the lines became straighter, simpler, and more even，and the structure was in better order, laying the foundation of the block feature of Chinese characters.

Clerical Script The Clerical Script assumed its immature, “proto-clerical” form in the State of Qin during the Warring States period. It was more concise than the Small Seal Script, but assumed a kind of vulgar and less- standardized form, which nevertheless became popular. When the Emperor Qin Shi Huang standardized the writing system, the writing of the Clerical Script was influenced as well. To achieve a more convenient and effective way of writing, the Clerical Script was developed into a broader and flatter shape, with its horizontal strokes longer than the vertical ones. The emergence of the Clerical Script marked a milestone in the history of Chinese characters, for it marks a watershed between pictorial scripts and straight-line based scripts, which are composed of horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, left-falling strokes, dots, turning strokes, etc. Furthermore, several modifications and simplifications made in the clerical script set the basic form for present-day characters.

The Yamaguchi Bait Shop studio: Agata Yamaguchi designer: Agata Yamaguchi

Brand Identity for this fishing baits shop was inspired by the silhouette of the kanji " 魚" (pronounced “sakana”, meaning "fish" in English). By using only black and white, the designer intended to emphasize the outline of this character. In the poster, the designer also tried to break the original structure of the kanji and make its broken pieces collapse while maintaining its recognizability. - 30 -

HELLS FOUNDRY – IRON GOLEM Designer: Alexandre Goulet

For Canadian metal/hardcore band Iron Golem’s first release, the designer aimed to create a desolate post-apocalyptic landscape which would reflect the band’s really aggressive sound. A robotic man-eating-machine has been set as the focal point, while an inside panel shows the result of the digestion of human bodies—a grimy artwork for the Hells Foundry.

ÉRASE UNA VEZ Designer: Emilio Rubione

Érase una vez (Once upon a time) is a retelling book written by five Argentinian booktubers. The designer was to create an image that could gather aspects of the different stories in the book. He decided to make a central image and from there divide the page so that the little specific things can be taken care of. The title and the names of the authors were also placed inside the frame.

MOANING WALL Artist: Piotr Jabłoński

This project was done for Magic the Gathering: Hour of Devastation.

INTERVIEW Why do you create such fierce visuals? It’s a bit a tricky question, because it’s not my intention to create only fierce arts. I just want to do my best with a theme I got from a client—that’s all the secret. Fantasy art is not my top theme. When I was younger I used to paint graffiti, so some street arts themes are still close to my heart. I also like Swiss design and Polish poster, architecture, photography, movie, fashion, etc. It will be awesome to make more posters, covers, illustrations for music albums, maybe something for fashion company. Themes through which I can express my inspirations and interests will be great. 26

134

What are your common approaches to produce a fierce visual effect?

Where do your inspirations come from?

There is no certain rules. Every theme needs totally different approach. Usually I will try to make a few fast and messy sketches on the paper to find a best composition of the mood and scene that I have in my mind. After that I will start sketching and painting on computer. And this latter stage takes the most of the time.

Paintings, movies, photography, fashion, architecture, design, music. Inspiration can be everywhere and everything can be an inspiration. Sometimes some random shapes or colors can bring a cool idea—cloud shape, element of small architecture, human pose, street scene or even color of sky can bring a good idea.

PARABOLIKA The idea behind this project was to create an art book, which transferred usually static typography into motion through all elements. The content of the book contained only images of the artwork Schleudertrauma Nr.11, which had been photographed in different angles and modified digitally.

Studio: Hubert & Fischer Designer: Phillipp Hubert, Sebastian Fischer

As a kind of visual experience, what do you think about the "chaos" in graphic design?

What are your common approaches to produce a "chaotic" visual effect?

It can look beautiful or it can look ugly. But the visual experience of chaos is a matter of interpreting the nature of chaos. Design is mostly interpreted individually and everyone probably has his own definition where chaos starts and where it ends.

It has all to do with the information you would like to provide in your design. If you have some elements you want to use in your design, to push them into extremes and you will cause the effect of chaos. Or you sit in front of your final design and you start to destroy it, ripping it apart in all elements. But in chaos there is a specific order, so there is no certain approach to produce chaos. - 24 -

"Obfuscant", which refers to the act of obfuscating content, is a word coined by the rap group Blackhandpath. Being transparent to the content, the artwork derives from the actual lyrics. As the lyrics get mashed, the information gets destroyed, the digital comes into play and the cover is an algorithmic dance between its own corruption obfuscating the artwork and building identity.

Meditation Seat Ware Design: Fenglin Gao

This seat was designed for a traditional way of sitting—

cross-legged. The ancients usually meditated in the cross-legged posture. The advantage of this pose is that

it can compose the body, mind, and spirit into an organic whole, facilitating a comfortable sitting experience. The

metal skeleton near the body tail vertebrae is slightly elevated from the seat, so that the sitter's buttocks and back can rely on the seat's back. The surface of the seat leans slightly forward, and its two sides provide support for the outside of the thighs and knees. This helps the human body to keep a straight, natural back and also effectively reduces the pressure caused by cross-legged sitting.

The Bodice Rocker Design: Splinter Works

The Bodice Rocker looks like a piece of art, but is actually a comfortable lounger. When in a vertical position, it takes on

an anthropomorphic sculptural form. However, with a slight push, the lounge lies horizontally on the ground and perfectly embraces your body. But when you go away, it reverts to the original position as if weightless, inciting a double-take by seeming to defy the pull of gravity. It can be tailored for a more ergonomic fit to accommodate any specific sitter.

chair. The seat and back have cut-out spaces for arms and legs, which gives the user freedom to vary his or her posture. Alternating between sitting high and sitting low during the workday provides welcome variation. When leaning forwards, we feel most comfortable sitting fairly high up, but

when leaning back, it is nice to sit low and

put one’s feet up. When leaning forwards we get no support from a backrest, so why not sit on the chair backwards using the back support as a chest support?

Lively, Positive, Passionate, Refreshing

Red is one of the three primary colors. In different cultural contexts, red means different things. Asians celebrate happy events with red, whereas westerners use red to represent danger and caution. Both western and eastern ancient aristocrats used red to indicate their identity because red dye was hard to obtain, making red clothes or red decorations luxurious items. The stimulating red color appearing in modern costumes often represents liveliness, enthusiasm, refreshment and honor.

Black is a non-reflective achromatic color. When mixed in with a variety of colors, light reflectivity will diminish until the light dies out in black areas and the only color seen is black. Black and white are opposite colors. Among monarchs in ancient China, black was the most revered color. Therefore, in addition to its mysterious, dark, deathlike, and evil vibe, black signifies nobility, power, and etiquette. Thus, black garments can appear neat and professional indicating indicate a sense of dignity.

White

Orange

Pure, Perfect, Chic

Extraverted , Lively, Confident, Cheerful

White is one of the achromatic colors, and that reflects light of all wavelengths. In the West, white sends a positive message, with it being the thematic color of church for ceremonies like weddings. In the East, white contains negative implications, with the funeral attire being white. There are ghosts dressed in white, white impermanence and other iconic aspects of white in the Eastern cultures. Most hospital uniforms are white for the color conveys concision, honesty and reliability.

Yellow

Gray

Happy, Bright, Optimistic, Happy

Unobtrusive, Uncertain, Indifferent

Gray is the transitional color between black and white. The color is reminiscent of the ashes after burning, environmental pollution, haze and gray wolves. Gray blends in easily with the environment, and is a good matched with the main colors. When it becomes the main color, it suggests mystery. Because of the gray's characteristics, even if gray clothing becomes dirty, it will appear to be unsoiled, so is often used for casual wear.

Orange is the color between yellow and red. It is similar to the color of sunset and suggests a romantic sense of leisure, as do the sun, flowers, and ripe fruit. The use of orange in garments can represent extraversion, vivacity, confidence, and joy. Orange is milder than red and more demure than yellow.

Yellow is one of the three primary colors, also the color with the highest degree of reflectance. Yellow often implies wealth and power with it being the color used exclusively by the aristocracy in ancient times. During wartime, yellow ribbons were used to signify waiting and hope, which is why yellow can also mean, happy, bright, and optimistic. When yellow is added to other colors, the image may appear muddy. So when applying yellow to clothing, be careful to maintain the lightness and purity of the color.

The Picnic — Kvadrat Stockholm Furniture Fair 2013

Renowned design duo Raw-Edges designed the Kvadrat stand for the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2013. "The Picnic" featured a massive wooden construction of Dinesen Douglas Fir and a textile installation consisting of 1,500 straps made out of a selection of twenty different Kvadrat textiles. The designers envisioned recreating a picnic in an enchanted forest atmosphere. The design concept was: wooden cabin, soft roof tiles, fish skin and picnic under a weeping willow, all mixed in a massive pot with Kvadrat swatches. It had served a commercial fair, having created a bit of relaxed surreal situation with a very warm welcome. The stand was build out of two main elements: the wooden structure and the textile straps hanging from the ceiling. The wooden structure functioned as a display area for the Kvadrat swatches and correspondsed with the appearance of the wooden cabin. Made from Douglas Fir from the Danish floor company Dinesen, the horizontal wooden panels were angled in such a way so they can hold the textile samples, allowing visitors a closer look. The impressive textile installation resembles vertical roof tiles and creates a three-dimensional volume. Also functioning as a space divider it created, an intimate space within the big exhibition hall.

The museological space avoids the idea of having neutral white exhibition spaces, and related to the exhibited artworks through the creation of a strong visual context that resembled the artist's imagination. The museum recreated an environment that was both pop art and industrial, through an unusual material: metal paint cans. The expository structure set in the central plaza of a mall, featured an abstract exterior that was extremely appealing and assumed an iconographic character with clear links to Pop Art. The interior was designed as an enclosed introspective space, entirely defined by continuous walls, benefiting from a transparent plastic screen cover.

This cover has the dual function of allowing light to enter from the exterior and assuring the visual relationships between the two confronting spaces, the museum and the shopping mall. This solution captures the curiosity of visitors, calling out to all those wandering in the higher galleries of the commercial space. A fluid succession of four exhibition rooms, thematically organized, resulted in a new pathway that challenges the organic symmetry and rationality of the main square. The two entrances to this small museum, one at each extremity, were located at strategic points in order to maximize the attention according to the flow of the people walking around its perimeter. Having received more than 100,000 visitors, the Andy Warhol Temporary Museum sought to contribute to the dissemination and promotion of art, being free and accessible to all visitors.

Hava Nagila: A Song for the People

| 260 |

204

"Hava Nagila: A Song for the People" was an exhibition that celebrates the breadth and depth of the song's rich musical and cultural trajectory. It traces the song's hundred-year journey from a shtetl in Eastern Europe, to communities of early Jewish settlers in Palestine, to the banquet halls of America where it remains a center piece of both communal memory and popular culture. Photographs and digital images of people dancing, performing or listening to the song and related materials were displayed on the walls. In exploring how to simultaneously and coherently play five landmark versions of the song within a small space, the designers began to explore how geometries and materials can focus, reflect and absorb sound. The design of the exhibition features giant parabolic reflectors that formed isolated cones of sound that define the space, while carpet tiles served triple duty on floors, walls and ceilings as containers that absorbed reverberations. Techniques developed specifically in this exhibition were utilized to laser-engrave texts and signature images directly into the carpet pile.

The future vision of luxury, inspired by the fragile beauty of a butterfly. The design is characterized by a shift of the boundaries between architecture and fashion. Hardness and tenderness, strength and fragility are reflected in every single design element. Glittering, polished steel frame skeletons shape the basic structure of the room and at the same time serve as carriers of all goods presentation objects, the latter offering a strong, exciting contrast thanks to their delicate, silky surfaces. The play with transparency and semi-transparency, with glitter and reflection, with softness and hardness creates a special dynamic effect in the room. Extravagant details THE FAIR LADY

LOCATION » Los Angeles, US There is IZUMO shrine, one of the most important shrine in Shimane Japan. “The clouds we can see there, has beauty but mysterious image. I wanted to show those images on this design,” explained the designer, “I'd like people to feel the delicate of beauty, which Japanese have, and Japanese atmosphere when they visit here so that they will think that they want to visit Japan. I'd like to make this restaurant as one of an element for Japanese reconstruction.” He put 25000 of wooden sticks, which was shaped like drum stick on the ceiling. In order to increase a reality of clouds, he has calculated the focal length between eye line and wooden sticks and use that length for the stick length and also made difference on the distance between stick each other so that to make a stereoscopic effect to wooden cloud.

» Wooden sticks put on the ceiling to produce cloud-shaped patterns, making the interior full of Japanese atmosphere.
