Drawing and Words

A real diary, Drawing and Words tells the daily life of Bunpei Yorifuji, artistic director, illustrator and Japanese graphic designer. While mass communication and technological revolutions have upset the profession of graphic designer, Bunpei Yorifuji shares here, in words and drawings, his working methods and the great experiences of his career. How to think about the relationship between text and image? Where can you find references to feed your creative work? How to convey complex information as simply as possible? What balance can be found between freedom and constraints in any commission work? The author questions the role of the designer in our contemporary societies and suggests avenues to enable everyone to develop a more personal practice of creation.
