"TOKI no OMORI visualization"

The work that I introduce is a graphics published with essay "TOKI no OMORI" of the newspaper. These works were serialized for about three years from 2003 in Chunichi Shinbun. These works are not garnishes that decorate richly sentences.They function as help for the reader to understand information.They promote the reader and communications with the newspaper as an impressive, symbolical sight expression.In addition, they make new value as information media by restructuring the relation between the text and the sight by using the theory of the design. These works were produced based on the intention of the above-mentioned. I tried the introduction of design technique-theory to the mass-media by this production.
