15 YEARS OF MEDIA ARTS 1997-2011

It has been 15 years since Japan Media Arts Festival and ICC began. These 15 years, our media environments have changed dramatically. We can say this kind of change (technology and products) and the evolution of media arts have always developed collaterally. To overlook the works appeared in past 15 years is neither more nor less than we experience vicariously what creators have questioned against social change and answers the era has led to.
This book is to overview the outcomes that Japanese media arts have achieved through trials. It is divided in 6 categories such as, media art / anime / manga / video game / motion graphics / internet. We could also gaze next 15 years by re-verifying what had been produced and become trends in relation to technology × society × art and making them meaningful.

design based on logical thinking a basic and practical method to construct form

This is a textbook about design technique by engineering approach,
that is getting the most important part for product development for next generation!
This book explains the foundations and the practice method for creating and developing two-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling from an engineering point of view.
The author, Professor Yamaoka is a specialist in ergonomics and an expert about a product development process of major manufacturers. Needless to say, not only about modeling based on ergonomics, but structuring a design concept,characteristic and processing technique of material, user's sensibility research, and how to evaluate products, this book encompasses design techniques through essential logical thinking in product development.
A special appendix of Yamaoka method [70 points in design] check-list is also included at the end of the book.
