Tama Central Park



Hello, kitty!!

This Park has large pond, lawn and 98,500 square meters. I saw cats around the park. This girl yuzu found and said to the cat "Hello, kitty!!" but the cat turned cat's back on her and froze, not run and hide. It was very funny. It was like watching the watcher. I wonder what the cat sees. LOL Come to think of it, this park is next to the Sanrio Puroland. There are Kitty White (Hello Kitty) that represents the character of Sanrio Company.

Grand Central Terminal


Grand Central Terminal

Holga iPhone Lens Kit for iPhone4/4s


Holga iPhone Lens Kit for iPhone4/4s

I like this design and idea. But the features of the photographic filters are rough around the edges. But I really like the design. I think the filters need just one more push to upgrade cell-phone photo. If so I'll definitely buy it. Even so it's expensive.

The Holga iPhone Lens Kit can add color effects of 10 different easy without app of camera for iPhone. Handling is also very simple. Just twiddle dial that you chose congenial photographic filter. That's it.

New Year's Cards



I made three types of New Year's cards. First one of them, This might be like poster design because of Polish poster that I appreciated last year.
Most people in our mind keep making general knowledge and formality with advancing age. This snake is year of the snake in the Chinese astrological calendar. So as I made it, I hope this year we break away from us patterns to create a new future. This description is to get us out of us shel. It's like a snake. (It means "cast off those words of 当然 = Naturally, 必然 = inevitable and 正当 = Validness and so on".)
※ 当然, 必然 and 正当 is Kanji or Chinese character.
I think this is very important. Unless you spread from your category that you live to outside are hard to understand various people and things for all time. And to understand others is to understand who you are.




The second type, I simplified graphic as well as concept. I modeled exclamation mark by use of each character of "Happy New Year 2013" to hope that 2013 will be surprising and wonderful year for you. I distorted shape of the typography that used first type.



The third type. The second type have not included image of year of the snake in the chinese astrological calendar. So I added a hook, including python leather.
