Features & Special Reports

Feature 1: We Want to See That Person’s Project Plan!

How Top Creators Think and Move Through Real Projects

How are the much talked about hit works, not limited to the Web, thought up and worked through to completion? How do creators who give birth to websites with profitable efficiency make their ideas appeal to their clients and superiors? How do they bring their ideas to life? In this feature we draw from top web creators as well as the people behind top products and projects, and along with their project plans, we hear about the essence of “Projects that Make Clients Nod in Approval.”

Feature 2: Web Designer's Whitepaper 2014-2015

Examining the New Commonsense of the Web Industry Through Numbers

With advancing technology and changing needs, the job of web creation is changing its form day by day. How does this effect the form of working Web Creators, their style of work, and what’s on their mind? In this feature “Web Designer’s Whitepaper,” we draw on the voices of all of the Web Creators we surveyed to illuminate the issues. With this 14th annual report we redefine the new “common sense” of the drastically changing web creator’s world following the introduction of the smartphone. What are the medians of age, career, and income? What about office size, working hours, and days off? Furthermore, which technologies are mainstreaming, and what comes next? We unravel all of this new common sense through the numbers.

Inside Story

KIRIN Kurashi Theater Off-White House_The ‘House’ as a Device to Outplays Popular Topics Online

New Product Promotion is something that mostly is developed on a massive scale over a short period of time. However, the promotion for Kirin Beer’s new low-malt beer ‘Kirin Off-White’ took place over 9 months, being constructed over a long period of time. The content of this promotion includes the online report on celebrities who stayed at a standalone house, the ‘Off-White House,’ which was built in Oita Prefecture as an embodiment of brand concept. Moreover, using dove-character aerial remote-controlled helicopters, movies of the city residents were released. More so than a normal advertisement, this allowed the real interest of the locale to be conveyed. The strategy of starting small but growing big, we discuss the aspects of this brand project with those involved in its creation.

SATO Tokihiro (Photographer)_The Spectacle of ‘Breathing’ that Comes and Goes along the Axis of Time

The fixed concept that “time does not appear in a photograph” has been quietly, peacefully overturned by Sato Tokihiro. Looming up in the blank space of the city is the traces of light drawing. Countless bodies of light float above beaches and forests. In reality those are the vestiges of his action and movements that he, by using his own body yet without leaving its form, imprinted on film. Transcending merely an illusion of special effects, his work closes in on the viewer. Leading the way from his homemade pin-hole camera to digital technology, he chases the relationship of ‘It’s there/It’s not there.’ What are the driving powers behind his creativity?
