Four Drinking Buddies Get Serious

Art director Ryosuke Uehara, editor Souken Ito, art director and designer Rikako Nagashima, and art director and graphic designer Shogo Kishino. These four, who are simply drinking buddies, will apparently engage in serious discussion.

What exactly does an art director do? What can be achieved by hiring an art director? For those curious about the profession of an art director, this is a must-see, must-hear event. We will introduce the work of art directors with live demonstrations. We eagerly await your attendance.
