Special Feature: Grass Roots of Design
IDEA special feature “Grass Roots of Design” focuses on Japanese designers’ Grass Root activity for the cultural community and the civic society. In their self-initiated activity, they use the small scale production model of printed matter as their platform to seek the common ground for the collaborators and audiences. This issue consists of the 24 booklets edited and designed by 24 designers themselves. Each booklets are the bound-in supplement to the magazine.
