o bj e c t i v e _ to promote japanese press tack needle for acupuncture which is called empishin in the u.S. this needle is not so well-known but has very unique functions and effects. this campaign educates audiences about this needle, including the needle comparison between chinese and japanese practice and also the comparison between Modern science and chinese medicine through a book, posters and cD.
s o l u t i o n _ Since japanese acupuncture was developed as an occupation for blind people, palpation was the most important diagnosis. i focused on the matter of “being blind” for my design. blind people have a more acute tactile sense. for that reason, the concept for this product promotion is touch and feel by using subtle textures which are using different surfaces of papers and different printing methods.

o bj e c t i v e _ to promote one of the curious Paper collections called identity by producing a promotional book and paper swatch cards. the promotion contains a message of identifying yourself and educational information.
s o l u t i o n _ to achieve the objective, i created an analysis of alice in Wonderland which talked about the symbolism of the story. in the story she meets a lot of characters and eventually figures out her identity. identifying yourself links to the name of the paper line. the design of the project contains a combination of traditional and experimental typography with several typefaces and also a symbolic and mysterious atmosphere. a lot of visual elements are designed by illustrating using typeface Missionary.

The most obvious theme that can be found in Alice’s Adventures
in Wonderland is the theme of growing up.Lewis Carroll adored the unprejudiced and innocent way young children approach the world. With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,
he wanted to describe how a child sees our adult world, including
all of the (in the eyes of a child
silly and
arbitrary) rules and social
etiquette we created for ourselves, as well
as the ego’s and bad
habits we have developed
during our lives.

_ WHo are you?
o bj e c t i v e _ as a coffee drinker, i sometimes feel guilty about dumping coffee grounds in the garbage every single day. i came across the fact that coffee waste can provide a cheap, abundant, environmentally friendly source of biodiesel fuel. i designed a book to show this sustainable product which can affect our lifestyle and behavior.
s o l u t i o n _ Heating Ventilating air conditioning (HVac) is a very useful and essential device for people today. but it is said that HVac gives off carbon dioxide and contributes to global-warming. i designed a HVac device that uses coffee-based biofuel as its energy source to achieve sustainable objectives. the product also is introducing a new ecological lifestyle by reusing coffee grounds. i named the product “aer” pronounced like “air” because the product relates to the quality of air on the earth and also aer is an acronym of an aerobic bacteria which produces the biofuel. the name has two meanings behind it.

o bj e c t i v e _ to create a product which will be derived from my personal experience. i always wish i had a little more courage in certain situations, like meeting new people and making a presentation. My shyness prevents all kinds of possibilities. i created a patch which makes people confident, making their mind open and positive. the promotion included creating an identity, a brochure and a poster.
s o l u t i o n _ i named the product trigger to give you a trigger to step forward. Since the product is created by my own experiences, i tried to fit the personality that i desire which is more confident, uplifting and uninhibited. i revealed this by using hot colors and a masculine typesetting that i normally hesitate to use but i still feel comfortable.

o bj e c t i v e _ to redesign a brand identity and products. i picked california baby, which is a skin care product brand for infants. their products are made by all-natural and organic ingredients. although california baby products are specialized for babies, about 40 percent of users are adults. for that reason, the objective is to redesign the brand identity with a more contemporary, trendy and sophisticated look. it’s also important to tell the audience that all their products are fresh, safe and reliable.
s o l u t i o n _ the symbol is created by the initial of california baby “c” and “b”, and they are formed as an apple shape. the logo’s colors and shape represent the freshness and soothing nature of the infant skin care products of california baby. the entire brand image also represents the same qualities.
