Each month, I worked closely with editors to design a full issue, including feature articles, recurring columns, and the cover. The bilingual format required careful typographic balance and clear hierarchy to support both English and Japanese readers.
Feature interviews with creative professionals across Japan. Layouts are designed to reflect the tone and personality of each individual.
Stories highlighting people, objects, or places with distinct Japanese character.
Clean and calm visual direction emphasizes clarity.
Bilingual reading pages designed with clean grids, phonetic support, and subtle visuals to make learning Japanese and English clear and engaging. Includes playful layouts for trending words and phrases.
Promotional pages introducing new items, upcoming events, and international voices in Japan.
In addition to magazine design, brands often have various visual design needs, such as social media posts, website column banners, and other diverse design requirements.
