Idea #385 examines notions of “locality” — what it is to be a local designer working in different areas of Japan and abroad, including a series of superbly illustrated interviews showing some of the best Japanese graphic design today from the Tokohoku and Kansai regions. This issue also features a bilingual English/Japanese 32-page showcase of the work and writing of Wordshape’s Ian Lynam, edited by Randy Nakamura. IDEA #385 also features a tipped-in new book of photographic work by Emigre‘s Rudy Vanderlans, as well as an illustrated interview with Rudy.
