(Preface) 'With nearly 50,000 Japanese graphic artists working in the highly competitive field of advertising design, a wealth of new and startling ideas surfaces each year. The annual series Graphic Design in Japan serves as a forum for the best contemporary art design by both established and up-and-coming Japanese artists.
Selected by the Japan Graphic Designers Association (JAGDA), these top works are exhibited to audiences worldwide before being compiled here in a sweeping survey that covers graphic design in its many forms, among them magazine and newspaper ads, posters, packaging, pamphlets, catalogs, book designs, record jackets, and calendars.
The fifth volume of this successful series also offers a feature section that highlights innovative corporate and organizational logotypes and symbols, with illuminating contrasts between the old and the new.
Japan's graphic artists continue to explore and expand concepts with originality and verve. This deluxe color volume documents why their unique interpretations continue to draw worldwide applause and the attention of professionals in the field.'
