DESIGN NAME: The Universe of Cultural Heritage
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Book
INSPIRATION: We are inspired by the historical works of japanese graphic design.
In particular, we used the archive of design trends at the same time as the people featured were active in this book.
It combines the feel of that era with contemporary design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: We devised and designed this book to convey the activities of the great scholars who established the concept of cultural heritage in postwar Japan to as many people as possible.
The terminology has turned it into a clear and easy expression. In addition, in order to make it easy to imagine, we have published more than 350 figures and tables in all.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The archeology, an unfamiliar word, was summarized in many figures and illustrations in an easy-to-understand manner.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2014 and finished in 2016
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design
