About the design
I was given a chance to try new printing technology, so I tried to bring both modern Japanese elements and Western approach into graophic design. I used three different sides: one in orange, green, and purple which is said to be difficult to reproduce; one in black with delicate matiere; and one in flat gray. I aimed for a universal design that does not make you feel time axis.
