Studio Brief 02
Research
I looked more into Japanese graphic design I personally like along with designers work I find inspiring. I found 'From Japan' helpful as it gathers all the best current design from Japan in an informative book, it showcases everything from packaging to editorial so it was useful to see a range of designs that mix traditional and modern.
Wang zhi hong
This is a designer I came across online while looking at eastern influenced, he's based in Taiwan but his work resembles the generic Asian graphic style but is heavily influenced by how Japanese graphic design unites traditional and modern aspects of design. I fathered my research into his work to see his work is spread across a number of formats but he mainly focuses on editorial, in particular book cover design. What I gained from his work also is how to combine western and eastern typography together and the basic colour palette he uses to great effect, this was important to take onboard because for my screenprint I'm limited to colours, so to see how a small palette works was helpful.
Nendo
Nendo is a design office founded by Oki Sato. The studio active in a wide range of fields, including interior design, product design, and graphic design. This is mainly the reason I chose to look into the studio because they specialise in a wide range of fields but still have a notably distinct style in all fields, "That’s why we want to reconstitute the everyday by collecting and reshaping them into something that’s easy to understand" this is Nendo's concept, and is notably seen in the work I believe, as everything is simply justified.
Grand Deluxe
Ran by Koji Matsumoto, Grand Deluxe has a illustrative style that I'm drawn to, with playful lines and shapes that catch the eye. Using simple line drawings is a style I like using and is easily achieved when screenprinting. Looking at the work of Grand Deluxe heavily influenced my ideas at this stage and made me think more of simplified responses to the banknote.
