JAGDA Annual "Graphic Design in Japan 2012"
JAGDA, one of the largest design organizations in Asia, has introduced outstanding designs in the Graphic Design in Japan annual every year since 1981. These designs, selected through a strict selection process, are introduced with a large number of pictures and are recommended with confidence. Some 600 designs are categorized and presented with the purpose of production for each work. "Combined Design" category is newly introduced this yearto enable designers to submmit works covering different design genres as one project. In addition, a list of JAGDA members by prefecture and indexes of copywriters and photographers are included. This is an unprecedented design almanac, a collection of world-class graphic designs created by Japanese designers, which also serves as a database.
