Interview with Miltz

In Japan, the power of advertising agencies is still strong, and production is often apt to become their good.Waiting for decisions Forever continuing waiting time and corrections coming at midnight are harsh.I verify various ideas, but it is often subjected to shredding without touching the human eye.I thought about quitting labor for agencies and clients I can not love.And it becomes freelance, I will not work with an agent as much as I can. Do not participate in competition projects either.I believe that it is something that should be done by designing with full power, loving clients and products that appoint me directly.

Design priorities1. Is the client's request fulfilled2. Is the unique value that I asked for?3. Are there new challenges?My style is a new typography concept.When using things to convey things, I use one of pictures, pictures and letters, but I'd like to add another concept in it.The dependent tool is the pen tablet.

It is painful up to 94%, this work is not suitable for me, there should be others who can make it better.Between 95% and 99%, I want to complete early, I feel comfortable, the movement of the body is slower than the thought.It is almost always like that.After completion, I am relieved for a while but I think that it might have been a failure in a week.Because I imagine that when I make the same thing that I have a completed experience I can make a more sophisticated work.Therefore, we can do the next challenge.

-Japanese sake, Masamune's kanji logoThe creator is unknown, but this typography shocked me.Because, despite Japan 's simple kanji, most of it is a form that can not be read by ordinary people.But this sake is known to many people.That is because Kanji characters succeed in branding as marks like Nike logo.I was impressed by the fact that the characters drawn as kanji to be read were recognized not by reading but by watching.-Numerous "Hihakutai (splashed brushstrokes)" of Kukai.Since quite a long time, the matters that I am currently thinking have been studied,Moreover, the shape of the letters is rich in design and is unique.Even though there is a profession of a craftworker who makes things, while there is no concept of a designer,I was intrigued by past men who are studying the shape of letters like this.-It is slightly different from typography, calligraphy of VINCENT ABADIE HAFEZ and RETNAWhen I saw his graph for the first time, I did not care about anything.But whenever I see his graphics several times through a magazineI remembered the feeling of staying in memory.I think that his graphic was unconsciously tagged as a single human work.To speak unconsciously is the best branding and it is difficult at the same time.

I would like to open a solo exhibition with traditional Japanese shrines and temples when the number of works is about 20 or more.Through such places I'd like to feel my work and the way leading to Japanese gods and Buddha.Typography with people as a canvas.I want to leave a dynamic work with a movement change.Also they are male and female expressions of lines are different, and by intersection like a dance, I imagine a combination of curves and straight lines into a single work.Drawing on a huge glass building.Different overlapping lines are one of the features of the work.I'd like to reproduce it as a more stereoscopic combination with a glass of huge buildings.I also want to create a space where I will be present in overlapping lines.

Make something that can not be copied.It can be a new design style or an analog work.Someone already makes ordinary works.Continue and update works that can not be copied.It becomes strong originality and becomes your cultural work.

Make a work that you trust that you are cool in the idle time with client work.When it was evaluated, I think that I had a sense of recognition to others by others.If it is not easy to accept, I think that the approach is wrong or that the sense does not match the world.However, making a work changes the possibility from 0 to 1.And by continuing to make it will expand from 1 to 100.No matter how busy the client work is, I believe my sense,I think that making your own work is the way to success.

Wake up with the child, eat breakfast and send to the nursery.Dish washing, washing, cleaning.I go to the office and check email.Produce typography as a preparatory exercise in 30 to 60 minutesThese works are published as "MORNING TYPOGRAPHY" on Twitter and Instagram.https://www.behance.net/gallery/54657179/MORNING-TYPOGRAPHY-WEEK001https://www.behance.net/gallery/56717689/MORNING-TYPOGRAPHY-WEEK002https://www.behance.net/gallery/64072055/MORNING-TYPOGRAPHY-WEEK003-004Work on the design.The material collection is mainly Pinterest and Behance.I am listening to Japanese anime and radio while doing design work.So I will not listen to music so much.I will go if there is a meeting.Coming home.sleep.

We mainly collect information with Pinterest, Behance and Feedly.But the trend of design is the average trend demanded by the public to the last.I'd like to pursue a more niche style that is more unique than that.By knowing the trend of the world you can position how unique your niche is.It is difficult to give your own interpretation of inspiration taken from the design of others.If you take inspiration from other aspects of design, novels and languages, landscapes and soundsWe believe we can pursue more original forms.

What is design?1 Thinking the root of things2 Optimizing3 Make up and choose clothes4 Try making rulesI think that this is one of them.Good design can feel a good rule by just looking at the image.It's also tone and manners, which also means that the user's movements can be easily imagined.

It is a time when there is no sense of incongruity within me.The sense of incompatibility is poor comfort, whether the feelings of wanting to show to people are born, rules of basic design,It is a sense of unity.

I never felt it was the best design.Because when I make the completed work again, I have the consciousness that I can make something with a higher quality than at the beginning.Because it looks like a design like a rusted failed work in a week as if such a feeling.But I can make another creation to remove that feeling.For this reason I may say that the latest work I made is the best.Currently my latest work is "KANJI-LINE: HATOUUNSAN".https://www.behance.net/gallery/64026575/KANJI-LINEHATOUUNSAN

It is the same as question 5.

I like to get information from my ears.Especially designing while listening to radio and personal podcasts.In addition, I have been based in Tokyo Shibuya for a long time. Shibuya is a city with a dirty image where young people gather.I have never thought of living but I like the culture of this city.However, there was a doubt in this town that is going to change beautifully and made a work.https://www.behance.net/gallery/63866621/SHIBUYA-GRAFFITII feel that the design that remains as culture is superior.Culture is thought that as fans increase due to continuity of originality, it will be formed by being conveyed.I think that it will be an interesting world if many designers can leave work that feels their culture.I believe that creating a work of my own without a client is a long-term investment for designers.

I am working 50% at home and 50% at my office.Most of them are one person.I also like to work on the team, but feel that one small job is better for me.

I liked teaching people and I was in charge of a design lecturer at a vocational school of my alma mater.It is very pleasant when students interpret my advice and make their own designs.Also, I would like to concentrate on the work of the instructor from the time I retired from working as a designer.

In Japan, it seems that the evaluation of overseas, especially in the West, will be a big status.I was evaluating myself as if it is far from the design award,I realized that my surrounding eyes tilted towards here because I was awarded.Because the design can not be scored as a numerical value like sales performance,It is difficult to express the evaluation with reliable indicators.As you can see, it is difficult to figure out how it is seen from around.Among them, the prize in the contest will be one of the few solid reputations in the design.Awards will be confident of their own creative activities and become reasons to continue.It also helps you grasp your design level position.Although it is not pleasant to separate depending on the top and bottom,People who are evaluated are those who gave themselves opportunities to get evaluations.I think the design award is a good opportunity to know other people and know the self.

To one of the fun things in design work,There are orders from clients outside my knowledge and experience.
That will lead to the spread of knowledge.

Also, I like to trick people in a nice sense.
At a vocational school, I received an advertisement seminar and refined my skills to move people's minds with visuals and copies.
Since then, I read several brain science books to move the emotions of many unspecified people.
It is a pleasant move to move people's movements with your own creations.
And there are almighty skills such as design · illustration · photo technique · movie production · planning.
I think that those skills are suitable for the occupation of the designer.

I hoped to be an architect at high school. However, I did not go on that path.
After graduating from high school, I planned to enter the vocational school and become an illustrator.
However, I thought that learning graphic design rather than learning illustrations and using that knowledge to illustration is more efficient.
Later on I met advertising production, I became a graphic designer, not an illustrator, got a job at a production company.

In client work, companies and service logos are often created and deployed to Web and print tools.
I am good at graphic design with typography as the main axis.

Make something that can not be copied.
It can be a new design style or an analog work.
Someone already makes ordinary works.
Continue and update works that can not be copied.
It becomes strong originality and becomes your cultural work.

A good designer thinks of a person who can shape the visual that fits the image.
A wonderful designer can think about something other than design.
For example, teammates, clients, families of clients, their families, their commercial effectiveness, their own stance and branding, etc.

A wonderful designer for me is not to believe in the power of design.
I do not believe the power of design in the same way.

It is the same as the above contents,
A wonderful design is superior to other aspects.
It is thought until the behavior after seeing the design and the impression of the memory of the time not touched.

Good design is one that does not require design.
Or what is designed to do so.

You should invest in essence before investing in design.

I want to do research on lines with originality.
It is typography and a picture.
People who made stripes, borders, polka dots are very respectable.
I also want to create such a form of concept.

I would like to open a solo exhibition with traditional Japanese shrines and temples when the number of works is about 20 or more.
Through such places I'd like to feel my work and the way leading to Japanese gods and Buddha.

Typography with people as a canvas.
I want to leave a dynamic work with a movement change.
Also they are male and female expressions of lines are different, and by intersection like a dance, I imagine a combination of curves and straight lines into a single work.

Drawing on a huge glass building.
Different overlapping lines are one of the features of the work.
I'd like to reproduce it as a more stereoscopic combination with a glass of huge buildings.
I also want to create a space where I will be present in overlapping lines.

Heart envying people.

-Japanese sake, Masamune's kanji logo
-Numerous "Hihakutai (splashed brushstrokes)" of Kukai.
-It is slightly different from typography, calligraphy of VINCENT ABADIE HAFEZ and RETNA

Same as above.

They have their own lines.
I think it is a stronger communication tool than any self-introduction.

I never felt it was the best design.
Because when I make the completed work again, I have the consciousness that I can make something with a higher quality than at the beginning.
Because it looks like a design like a rusted failed work in a week as if such a feeling.

But I can make another creation to remove that feeling.

For this reason I may say that the latest work I made is the best.
Currently my latest work is "KANJI-LINE: HATOUUNSAN".
https://www.behance.net/gallery/64026575/KANJI-LINEHATOUUNSAN

I touch many things other than design.
In particular, I recommend you to read books of philosophy, sociology, brain science a little.

I am an art teacher, an illustrator, a cartoonist, a freetater, a salesman.

What is design?
1 Thinking the root of things
2 Optimizing
3 Make up and choose clothes
4 Try making rules
I think that this is one of them.

My wife and my family.
Or an old client.
Team mate of the previous production.

I am not a great designer, so not know.
Believe in the power of design, let's do a lot of work under a great designer.

Balancing of orders for living and personal work for expressing themselves.
The problem is still alive now.

In order to confirm the evaluation from around, I think that it is good to see the situation first at the web.
After being evaluated to a certain extent, we will make a product that is worthy of the real thing and open up a solo exhibition.
Also record the process and landscape and summarize it on the web.

It diffuses with SNS etc. around the portfolio site.

Skateboard series.
Or Dalma series.
Please do not expect.

Live life only by what I want to make.

A more simple environment. The world where mediation is lost.

Design is also to make concepts.
I think that if people who can move society gains knowledge of design, the world will become better.
Our designers should make the design more permeable to such people to gain design knowledge.

nothing special

For the same reason as question 14, I may say that the latest work I made is the best.
Currently my latest work is "KANJI-LINE: HATOUUNSAN".
https://www.behance.net/gallery/64026575/KANJI-LINEHATOUUNSAN

I do not think so much.
I would like to produce something that is not affected by changes in the design industry as much as possible.

I think that design becomes general education and that designers who can instruct designs quickly become important.

This artwork seems to be about a week.

When there is time I will leave it for three days while keeping it at the head.
Then write down small thumbnails in the notebook.

Not buy a person's favor.
I will return it as soon as I buy it.
Send incentives to people.
I want not return.

Of course I think that it may be set.
If you are seeking trends it is natural to do so.
but, It is also important to explore possibilities other than trends.

Some Nobody can make a trend.
I think that there may be a design that follows the trend.

Improve design efficiency.
Or extension of output.

iPad pro, Macbook pro, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Aftereffects, paper & brush

Color determines the impression.
Materials decide quality.
ambiment decides the viewer.

I do not like the explanation of the meaning of my design, so I want you to imagine the meaning.

What kind of process did you produce?
How many designers were involved?
How was the budget constructed?

I believe there are many wonderful designs born from co-design.
but, I am thinking that I do not need a partner for now as it is suitable for producing by one person.

Chinese philosopher, Zhuang-zi.

Zhuang-zi.
Numerous books written by Yuji Ikegaya, a Japanese brain scholar.

I will acquire new skills to fill skills I can not do.
When there are a better designer than yourself, calculate whether you can reach that person's level by the age of the person.
If I was a young designer I will forget.

I would like to discuss with my father who died before I became a designer.

This is my first big prize and I have not realized it yet.
I do not feel much because I did not have much knowledge of this award.
I think it is difficult to become famous and I am not yet famous.

My favorite colors are white, black, gold, red, blue.
The place is my house. Especially desk.
Ethnic food.
I like all the seasons.
Things, especially none.
Brand, adidas.

Sending quotation will stop replying to emails.

I drink Red Bull and listen to the game and animation soundtrack. Then hands move naturally.

I grew up in a country where I was not involved in the occupation of a designer, so it was not clear.
But I liked to make various things.
Although it is not necessarily a designer, the possibility of becoming some creators may have been high.

It is easier to imagine a future that is darker than a bright future.
That may be due to the current situation in Japan.
Our children and others want a happy future.

nothing special

I am active in freelance, mainly making money with client work and living.In the client work, I designed it with policy not to give out self.However, from a certain time, I began to feel doubts about its activities.I think that it is worth making the work I want and that it will be used later by the client.Therefore, recently after the client work is over, as a personal work it is producing works that follow his own sensibility not to take anyone's opinion.

What is design?1 Thinking the root of things2 Optimizing3 Make up and choose clothes4 Try making rulesI think that this is one of them.

I like traditional Japanese culture and new sensibilities of foreign countries.

-Japanese sake, Masamune's kanji logo-Numerous "Hihakutai (splashed brushstrokes)" of Kukai.-It is slightly different from typography, calligraphy of VINCENT ABADIE HAFEZ and RETNA

Cell phone company brochure

Sophisticated brush strokeStreet GraffitiI prefer something that not loses value over time than the latest technology.

95% to 99% of the production process

In the case of orders received, the client's request has been achieved.What is not a convenient interpretation of my own.In the case of my project, whether it is a work that anyone except me can make.

It is painful up to 94%, this work is not suitable for me, there should be others who can make it better.Between 95% and 99%, I want to complete early, I feel comfortable, the movement of the body is slower than the thought.It is almost always like that.

After completion, I am relieved for a while but I think that it might have been a failure in a week.Because I imagine that when I make the same thing that I have a completed experience I can make a more sophisticated work.Therefore, we can do the next challenge.

Listen carefully to people's story.Do more inputs and do more verification.suffer from a design.Brainwashing myself, make I think it was a success.

Whether the client is satisfied or not.And whether they feel like ordering again to me.

Design is also to make concepts.I think that if people who can move society gains knowledge of design, the world will become better.Our designers should make the design more permeable to such people to gain design knowledge.

I sometimes think that the design is degenerating.Advances in the Internet and technology averaged the design.The bad design was reduced, and the distinctive personality was also reduced.If such a situation can be said to be evolution it may be so.I began to feel attracted to things that are not designed.

I have recently started making personal art, so I never held an exhibition.If the work increases to some extent, I am planning to open a small exhibition at a Japanese temple or shrine.

I have a doubt about a calligraphy exhibition that is common in Japan.Those characters are difficult kanji, are classically destroyed, most people can not read.However, we can imagine various abstract meanings in line shape and momentum.The characters and meanings that do not connect, and the imagination of those who read it feel the charm as if people with different languages tried to communicate.

It combines Japanese traditional fonts and calligraphy with other countries' cultures like street art.but, I do not want to inherit Japanese culture.I want to make a modern and classic original one.

I live in Tokyo.Of course, the cultural heritage has a great influence, but that is not the only one. It is influenced by all the gray towns and neon streets that have lost their facial expressions since ancient times, our country that grows old and grows old.

It is only the relationship of order receipt.

Instead of using an advertising agency, you should decide your designers who are responsible for their products.Despite its important matters, Japan has too much to order from an advertising agency.It is because we want to impose decision responsibility for designing our products to other companies.Although initially involves risks, you should build relationships that are equal to those of designers.

Stay at the head of the image at the time of orientation.Do not move hands based on that idea, think.Write out the image in the sketch.If necessary, image concepts and stories.Make use of software.Create a concept story document.suggest.Repeat the correction repeatedly.

A white glove used by a taxi driver.I use the pen tablet for a long time.In order to reduce the friction between the board and the hand,I am cutting and using the thumb, index finger and middle finger of white gloves.Always buy 50 pieces or more at once.When the courier visits home, they worry if I injured hands.

You can objectively look at things from various perspectives.However, it becomes difficult to subjectivity.Honest impression is gone.

I keep fooling myself.Make an excuse for failure and change to affirmation among themselves.

Expression power with good sense.Communication skills to draw out, understand and persuade others' words.

iPad pro, Macbook pro, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Aftereffects, paper & brush

I will not receive orders for work that does not end within the time.Also, since the job of the advertising agency tends to be overworked, we will not receive orders as much as possible.

This artwork seems to be about a week.

How much can you do?

Operation of movie festival.

Various companies, individuals, few fans.

Works that used typography dynamically make me feel happy.Also, work that thinks from the root of the concept is exciting.

I do not make modifications many times by making ideas by devising ideas what clients want,I will make what I want to make.We will realize the form that these works are used for corporate advertisement and goods within 5 to 10 years.In addition, he creates analogue works that can not be copied and opens a solo exhibition at a traditional Japanese shrine / temple.After solo exhibition, we hold an art auction.

Sometimes we organize a team,Mostly I design by myself.

There is nothing in particular now.
