Clear, approachable, and convenient reference for contemporary Japanese layout design in posters, books covers, advertising, etc. Been referring to it for days and it has a permanent place on my shelf.
Good as a coffee table book or to use as reference since the chosen works are quite beautiful. But the written content of the book is not outstanding and feels "empty".
