HARA DESIGN INSTITUTE

The cover design of the magazine, A Book has a single visual, and is devoid of any superfluous information. Illustrator Yoshitaka Mizutani, given to producing illustrations with awesome precision, helps turn Hara's sketches into precise, sophisticated images. Their association runs nearly 20 years now. Having worked together on everything from the details of reflected light and shadow to the textures of objects, they have developed an "A-Un" relationship, requiring no verbal communication.
