Participation in “GRAPHIC TRIAL 2011”
This exhibition provided the opportunity to explore the ideal relationship between graphic design and printing technologies, and to try and acquire new forms of expression.
I have often wondered why dialogues between designers and printing workers are so unclear and abstract, and therefore used this opportunity to set “clarification of standards” as a concept in thus attempting to remove any unclear or abstract aspects. For example, a couple of the themes revolved around “how colors change when overprinted 100 times” and “where is the limit of extremely thin lines and extremely small characters”. I created conceptual products around these themes, which allowed digitalization of rated values and limits for printing.

GRAPHIC TRIAL 2011に参加しました。
グラフィックトライアルは、グラフィックデザインと印刷表現の関係を深く追求し、新しい表現を模索獲得するためのエキシビションです。
以前から印刷現場とデザイナーのやりとりには、意外なほど曖昧な部分が存在すると疑問を持っていた事をきっかけに、その曖昧な部分を取り払うべく「基準の明確化」をコンセプトにしました。同じ色を100回の重ね刷りすることによる色の変化、極細の罫線と極小の文字の限界値はどこなのか？等の「印刷の規定値と限界点をデータ化する」コンセプチュアルな作品を制作しました。
