| DESIGN NAME: Bon Vivant PRIMARY FUNCTION: Information Magazine INSPIRATION: This project was created as an information tool that can be placed in the storefronts of Shinkin banks nationwide and can be freely taken home. It is also an information magazine based on the concept of "shinkumi," UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This magazine is available at credit unions across Japan and is available for customers to pick up at their convenience. She created it with warm, hand-drawn illustrations and eye-catching colors to make it easy for customers to pick up and take home. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Installed at Shinkin Bank branches/ Distributed free of charge/Information and gifts This information magazine introduces people, industries, local products, and tourist spots working hard in each region of Japan, helping to steadily connect people and cities. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: She was commissioned to do this project by a planning and production company (BOON Corporation + Shinkumi Sogo Service Corporation). She produced six books per year for each month over five years (30 books) from January 2011 to April 2018. The project was supervised by the National Federation of Shinkin Banks. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: My works are mainly hand-drawn illustrations using brushes, acrylic paints, illustration boards, compasses, rulers, ruling pens, etc., and some are retouched in Photoshop. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Used for the cover illustration of the magazine. Magazine size: 21cm x 15cm, 1mm thick (B5 size), about 15 pages Published bimonthly, this year's theme is "World Heritage Sites and Festivals." The illustrations are mostly hand-drawn, but sometimes Photoshop is used. TAGS: #142430 Graphic, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Category Silver Award / Kumano Kodo RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This magazine is a pamphlet distributed free of charge by Shinkin banks nationwide. How do customers get it? We think it is important for customers to get to know the local people and towns. She created eye-catching illustrations that convey the warmth and nostalgia of the town. As a result, people visit the area (by buying local products, etc.) and learn about its good points. I think this has connected people and towns. CHALLENGE: She didn't know how the magazine actually got from store shelves to customers' hands. However, the magazine did receive feedback from readers. One such comment, "Looking at the illustration on the cover, I felt nostalgia and a sense of the season, and it reminded me of home," made her happy.She didn't quantify the actual effect, so she doesn't know, but it seems that this activity was effective.
