Yui Takada established Allright Graphics in 2006. The next year he launched Allright Kobo (now Allright Printing) as a base for letterpress printing, and while overseeing printing operations here he also performs design work. His design portfolio spans a broad spectrum, including logomarks, signage, advertising, book design, package design, etc. His warmly expressive letterpress typography and playful graphic designs never fail to charm and fascinate the viewer with their unusual appeal. Meanwhile, since 2013 Mr. Takada has also devoted his talents to design education, as Associate Professor at Tokyo Zokei University.
In the course of every day, in a variety of environments, Yui Takada continuously experiments in myriad ways to expand his world of creative expression. Looking at something from a slightly different angle than usual leads to new discoveries. Interesting discoveries are also made within the limits of constraints or restrictions. Infinite new perspectives come to light by consciously focusing on something. Mr. Takada experiments at work, at school, and in his personal life—together with this colleagues, with his students, and by himself. While having fun with his experiments, he continues to create creative designs that seem to be swimming. This exhibition, divided into three parts, will introduce how Mr. Takada achieves all this.
