Issue #31 of Slanted, one of the most popular international graphic design magazines today, is devoted to Tokyo. Ian Lynam and Renna Okubo edited and curated this issue alongside Slanted Publishers founder Lars Harmsen.
This issue of Slanted features a mix of established and emerging designers, writers, illustrators, type designers and folks active in creating vibrant culture across the greater Tokyo region.
Slanted #31 shows both the breadth of design culture in Tokyo as much as how international our fair city has become over the past decade-plus.
Slanted #31 features interviews and photo shoots with heavy hitting veteran designs like Taku Satoh, Nobuo Nakagaki, HeiQuiti Harata, Yoshihisa Shirai, Shin Akiyama, Yukimasa Matsuda and Tatsuya Akiyama, mid-career designers like Daijiro Ohara, Hideki Owa, Yosuke Yamaguchi, and emerging designers like Hideji Terada.
Illustrations, interviews, and essays complement the issue thematically.
