Innovative Local Designers Profiles

This new updated edition of ”Hot Local Designers Profiles” (2013) introduces more than 100 designers who are active in local areas throughout Japan. These talented designers create designs for various community-based projects, from branding local products to promoting regional tourism. Their works, including package designs, pamphlets, advertisements, and much more, have been getting a lot of attention recently, especially as design plays an increasingly important role in a wide range of publications and projects.

Contents are grouped by local area and covers the length of Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Each designer’s most successful works are included along with their contact information. This book is a useful reference not only for people who are involved in local projects who are looking for new designers, but also for designers who are looking for fresh inspiration.
