WOW Visual Design Conference and Release Party

'Future of Visual Design'

We are delighted to announce that we are holding design conferences and party to celebrate the release of our visual book WOW Visual Design and our 15th anniversary since the establishment.

Design and art; client work and original work. WOW have united different fields together, and challenged new expressions and technologies, which leads to shape various platforms beyond a design studio. We give an outline of visual design with publishing a book of our works.

At this conference, while we look back visual design through the book, it will be a good opportunity to appreciate the possibilities, and social functions and human relationships of visual design.

* We are afraid that conferences will be delivered in Japanese. English translation will not be served.
