A comprehensive interpretation of Japanese layout design from theory to practice.

With six major creative styles, 76 distinctive layout design strategies and 18 Japanese layout design masters, Japanese Layout Design presents critical layout design elements and skills to readers.

The popular works of distinguished Japanese designers—like Yoshihisa Shirai, Ryu Mieno, Masayoshi Kodaira, and Masashi Murakami—are showcased, and layouts for each piece presented in the book are graphically analyzed.

Intended to provide designers and design enthusiasts with a solid sense of the rules and principle involved in layout designs, the book aims to prepare readers to create better graphic design works after embarking on a review of excellent design inspiration.

One tip: by combining western design tools with eastern aesthetics and attitude, designers can bring creative color palettes to their design creations.
