University of Laughs, College of Laughter
Kokidan Mitani
When I first took on this case, I noticed that a smiley face should be placed in the stroke of the word "laugh". When the editor introduced the book, he sorted out a lot of Mitani Yuki's characteristics and ideas, some of which were: like dolls, like games, and have a naïve playful heart, and I also found out on the Internet that the author Mitani Yuki, as an only son, liked to rehearse stories with dolls since he was a child, and said that the solitude of his childhood was his future creative nourishment.
Combining the above two points, I designed a "laugh" word with a smiley face as the main visual focus in a rounded and full style, this standard word is like a doll with a comedic and joyful atmosphere (the lower half is also like a pair of legs), the smiley face in the stroke is also highlighted by fluorescent green, and let the smiley face appear alone outside the main seal: the waist, the inner cover, and the back cover to strengthen the recognition.
The full font strokes, in addition to capturing the appearance style of the doll, also match the rounded, big-eyed smiling image of Mitani Yuki himself.

Brand Identity Design
The Man-Made World
Our Androcentric Culture
Many of the established ideas that seem to be taken for granted and taken for granted are not the only means of constructing the world.
The cover uses a rare horizontal and straight font, that is, through a provocation of visual inertia,
To echo the author's reflection on the masculine culture.
Illustrations convey that men control the world with their belligerent and adoring personalities.
Folk Song 40 "Folk Song Forty"
Sing another thought from 1975-2015
On the cover, guitar strings and sound holes are used to form the word "40".
In order to show the rarity of the songs introduced, the album cover and poster present a state of being excavated with the word "40" partially obscured.
The Beasts Underground
The brutal aesthetic of "Japan's Strongest Fantasy Hero"
The story is synopsised that the Soviet investigation team asked the Japanese captives to find a tunnel from under the volcano to Japan, and in the process the two sides chased underground, experienced the shroud of hunger and pain, and saw that creatures that should have been extinct in ancient times, such as dinosaurs, were still alive underground...
So I drew a volcano on the top of the mountain that looks like a claw/sharp tooth, the reflection of the volcano intuitively symbolizes the "underground", the reflection can be directly regarded as the claw of the beast, and the text block that is cut off on both sides of the reflection simulates the state of "crossing the underground", and finally supplemented by a large net to create an atmosphere of imprisonment and isolation.
The Japanese name "Underground Tukuni", which differs from the Chinese title in the "Beast" character writing, presses the standard characters with a small print size, which on the one hand strengthens the readability of the standard characters and adds visual characteristics.
"The Art of Illustration: How To Capture People's Hearts with Such a Directed Drama"
Fun brain adventures
The theme and subtitle of the book emphasize the director and the author himself, so the design focuses on the director's point of view, using the director's barrel as an element of imagination, disassembling it into the geometry on the front cover (the back cover, the inner cover and the waist of the book are also deliberately placed with the icon of the director's barrel), and then the repetition of the stills to constitute the montage image of the film as a film grid collage.
The geometry of compression or expansion and deformation is also symbolic of the director's various angles, and the expressions of the characters are specially obscured differently to suggest that the expressions provide the viewer's imagination space: the actor's face, expression, and action are one of the focuses of this book.
Finally, the names of the Japanese sections incorporated in the geometry are disassembled into the cover and back cover of the inner cover and the geometric figure respectively, as a small clue for the reader to discover the source of the fragmented Japanese language on the cover.
