Design Concept

Mr. Urayama wanted a collage-taste looking board. The monkey with a yellow-green face on the left up corner was hand drawn. Mr. Urayama wanted me to include a monkey on the design because he kind of uses it as a logo. I also hand drew the "Justice" logo on the center of the board. And I placed the "REAL PAPER" logo on the left bottom part of the board. The theme of the design was "ecology" however I didn't want to emphasize it too much otherwise it would have looked "too green". I casually placed few designs of plants and pictures of breaking waves. I put a message into the design, which is this, I want Mr. Urayama and everyone who rides this board not only to ride a wave but also to fight against this world that is full of problems and paradoxes and become victorious. That may be a solitary fight, but when you win through, it may lead you to become a real ecologist. I hope that everybody who rides this board becomes the hero or heroine at their different positions in their lives.

Design Concept

Since this was a collaboration project with 18-years-young Kento, the idea was to create a fun, youthful and intense illustration. Kento loves to hang out with his friends. He likes pick-up trucks and motocross. His favorite colors are black and red and his favorite phrase is " I can do it". I just simply came up with a drawing that reflected all those facts. I had I lot fun working on this illustration, which is the very message that I intended to deliver. "Whatever you do with a joyful heart, will turn out into a great thing".
