I was asked to design within a day for 2nd CD, 'play for Japan vol.2'.
As you must know this disaster in Japan, Japan is still in big problem and we need help more.
If you see this page and thinking to donate, this is one way for donating.
I am sorry but the website does not cover English I guess.

Hard to get personal work with actual work

Having a freelance job and an intern in another company now.
It is kinda hard to do personal work after those works....so tiring.
For my actual job, I was thinking a bit with some ideas and came out to do for myself with bringing some ideas from.
I got imagination immediately and couldnt stand without start working on.

I decided to do new illustrated typefaces.
If you have seen my website, you would guess what I am goin to do.
I kinda enjoying with my new type but I can not do lots after those works.
I also have to go to bed early....and even one alphabet takes almost an hour to draw.
This will be hardcore and don know when i can finish with.

Anyway, Ill update soon.

Its kinda fist time to do but probably last time to do as well.

Anyway, my website has been updated.

Helvetica VS Arial

I found one pretty good iPhone app.
The app is called 'Helvetica vs Arial'.

Helvetica is well known for all people and everybody loves it.
Helvetica typeface is kinda one of basic typeface in these days.
( I prefer Helvetica Neue by the way.)

On the other hand, Arial is not so popular even it must be known by many people. Arial is also default font in some computer.
The reason of people do not like Arial is because it is really similar to Helvetica and also it is said that Arial is kind of imitation of Helvetica.
Personally, I do not use Arial.

Anyway, This iPhone app is basically to distinguish between Helvetica and Arial.
This is kinda testing your eye how much detail you can be care.
This is pretty fun, especially for a graphic designer or a person who are into typography.

This is free app. Nice.

My Website Updated.

I am sorry for being late to update my website.

I have updated.

Please Check it out.
