Oh so beautiful Japanese Graphics
I am starting to work on some new designs this week and that is always a great time to look through some inspiring things. So, I thought I would look back through some of my photos from earlier this summer for some inspiration from the wide range of graphics in Japan. To me, Japanese graphics and beautiful graphics are synonymous. Ranging from simple, everyday objects to building facades, almost everything has a wonderfully applied visual. Here is a range of some nice and inspiring things:
Exterior facade; I would love to walk into this everyday!
