    Funny note: All links posted in this thread are to designs not made by Japanese.

    There's a lot of ideas what Japanese design is, and specifically; how the graphic design from here looks.

    Wether those ideas reflects the actual design here...

    • Apart from EVERYTHING in the Narita Inspected book, it was just compiled and laid out by the Swiss.5timuli
    • Sure, there's pictures of telephonebooth-ads in there. But the graphics surrounding it...Peter
    • Each spread focused on a Japanese agency and their studio/work/observat... The surrounding graphics weren't Japanese but they were never intended to be the focus of the book, hence the reason they were designed to be unobtrusive.5timuli

    • And by surrounding graphics I mean a paragraph or two of text and maybe some solid blocks.5timuli
    • I know, I got all their books.
      Thing is, it's mostly just full of stuff those guys found here. Even a shot of a cellphone, outdated by the time of print. Ayways...
