Feature 1: Learning Web Marketing from Real Situations

EC, Social, Owned Media…Explaining Points of Notable Policies

Not conveying things as intended; only the idea is foregrounded…these kinds of irritating experiences are something everyone has. When you have some message to deliver, you naturally have to have in mind when, how, to whom and what you’re conveying. However, isn’t the opposite also true, when you know how it’s supposed to work but still can’t make it happen? It is all the more so the case for the Web. Caught with dizzying amounts of information flying at you at all times, how you convey things become important. Web Marketing could be thought of as the ‘Etiquette’ of planning quality communication in such an environment. With this feature let’s think about the etiquette of Web communication.

Feature 2: Real Web Trend Analysis 2015

Design, UI, and Expressive Technologies for the Future Learned from Foreign Sites

Web design trends have changed steadily at dizzying speeds along with the production environment, communication environment, or the progress of reading devices. If that’s the case what are the new and interesting designs of today? European and American sites are often at the center of creating these trends, a majority of which comes to permeate the Japanese domestic marketplace. In this feature, as examples, we present sites that have integrated the latest designs and expressions of foreign sites, and introduce those which we think will likely become popular domestically in 2015. As you look at these trends, you may notice that almost all of these sites have been included because of a high degree of compatibility with tablets and smartphones. Please utilize a variety of technologies and ideas behind getting the best performance with regards to each device’s compatibility as production hints in your next project, ranging from the significance of the site, how to begin planning, to the methods of design and implementation.

YOSHIDA Yuni (Art Director)_Illusions Spun from the “Normal World”

Beautiful girls shot from an angle as if to appear weightless – countless visuals that transcend the boundary between reality and imagination. Bounding from fashion ads to CD Jacket art, Art Director YOSHIDA Yuni navigates multiple areas with ease and success. Pop and illusionary expressions fragrant with the taste of a spoonful of mystery cannot be overlooked. Yoshida’s artistic sense is not limited to shining ideas, but on location, is supported by an obsession that could be called ‘stubbornness.’ We hear about the backstage of her first solo exhibition of representative works, “IMAGINATOMY.”
