In my case, I was invited because of my intimacy with Japanese graphic design. Among others present were graphic design luminaries Lorraine Wild (LACMA \/ CalArts), Victor Margolin (University of Illinois \/ Design Issues), Andrew Blauvelt (Walker Art Center), Paola Antonelli (New York MoMA), Benjamin Weiss (Boston Museum of Fine Art), Marina Garone Gravier (National Hemerotec of Mexico), and many of the best design curators, critics, and historians working today.<\/p>\n<p>It was a truly wonderful convergence, and I am of the belief that the representatives of LACMA as an institution walked away with a thorough understanding of how they might curate collections of work that promotes and reinforces their goals as a major institution dedicated to crafting a more thorough understanding of graphic design as a cultural sector of production.<\/p>\n<p>In response to their request to suggest a methodology toward collecting work that helps chart the development of Japanese graphic design, I offered something different from than the standard. The easy answer would be a poster collection developed by the institution. I imagine that the representatives of the institution\u2019s potential goal was to help quantify and qualify their already-substantial holdings of Japanese poster work, of which I have since been helping pitch in on. However, in my ever-contrarian approach, I suggested an opposing route to the seeming \u201cshow pony\u201d approach of collecting only posters \u2014 what I proposed was the cultivation and curation of a lineage of graphic design magazines from Japan. Graphic design magazines, at their heart trade publications, communicate the reality of graphic design as a sector of differentiated cultural production in Japan, warts and all.<\/p>\n<p>In his influential book\u00a0<cite>White<\/cite>, Hara Kenya insists on an ur-Modernist approach to foreign perception of Japanese graphic design. The international stereotype of Japanese graphic design is trifold. There is the perception of graphic white space and singular focus \u2014 poise \u2014 effete minimalism shrouded in atmospheric, hazy mists of Oriental vapor. Then there is its opposite: hyper-kawaii, nearly-out-of-control-yet-somehow-still-in-control dimension of character-driven graphic design work. Yet there is still a third axis: technologically-driven pixelocity\u00a0\u2014 futurist aesthetics coupled with rapid adoption of the latest technologies .<\/p>\n<p>When one departs Japan\u2019s major urban areas and travels the countryside, however, a very different aesthetic emerges. As many have said, Tokyo and Japan are in many ways very different creatures, and this is also true aesthetically. The Japanese visual vernacular outside urban centers is still a mash-up: graphic design and architecture synthesizing old and new in a much more bare-bones, less articulated fashion. On a recent drive with my wife and father-in-law through their hometown of Iizuka in Fukuoka Prefecture, the landscape is dominated more by fairly crude, flat 1950s-style sign painting and cheap vinyl plotted signs, dotted with the occasional Mos Burger sign or gaudy, hyper-neon pachinko parlor signage. Rural areas offer up something quite different than minimalist Modernism, cavity-inducing cutesiness, or super-techno-aesthetics. The suburbs and the country\u00a0are the metaphoric \u201coff-white\u201d: an everywhere fraught with history, continued historical design practice, and just-in-time visual ephemera.<\/p>\n<p>Curating a collection of Japanese graphic design periodicals would help to tell the story of both urban and rural visual life in Japan. This would show the reality of simultaneously commercial and art practices beholden to economic forces and materials, and a more telling paean to how graphic design in Japan has\u00a0<em>actually<\/em>developed \u2014 a phenomenon diametrically opposed to how Japanese graphic design is portrayed in most international design, art, graphic design, and cultural media. Japanese graphic design periodicals are exemplars of imposed realities and labor expectations in terms of input, throughput and output, as well as following repercussions\/reverberations.<\/p>\n<p>The long and short of it: There\u2019s a ton of ugly work in these magazines, but there\u2019s just as much amazing work. And nearly all of it helps tell the story of reprographic technologies and visual styles from different eras, as well as how they have affected the national aesthetic(s)\u2014all with wildly veering quality control.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of doing the usual Powerpoint-esque presentation in L.A., what I created was an interactive timeline of both key moments from Japanese graphic design History and spans of publication of Japanese graphic design magazines, studded with sociopolitical moments of historical note to give everything context. This timeline is very much a work-in-progress\u2014more of a rendered pencil drawing than a rough sketch at the present moment, but with luck it is a useful guide to navigating the \u201ctimelessness versus timeliness\u201d debate regarding Japanese Graphic Design History. It is a highly authored timeline, as well.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, at the very least, folks now have a more-than-holistic guide to what to buy when it\u2019s time to lay those cool, crisp yen bills down for crumbling graphic design mags of yore\u2026 and that\u2019s actually the most interesting thing about this timeline as a greater project. With it, you can construct your own physical collection of Japanese graphic design publications if you so desire. All it requires is a bit of patience, a keen eye, a penchant for trawling musty countryside bookshops and the obligatory filter mask.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that, I invite you to\u00a0<a title=\"Misruptions Disruptions\" href=\"http:\/\/ianlynam.com\/lacma\/\" target=\"_blank\">check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The original post of this article was published on <a href=\"http:\/\/neojaponisme.com\/2014\/10\/16\/misruptions-disruptions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Neojaponisme<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ian Lynam introduces one of his latest projects \u2014 an interactive timeline of Japanese graphic design magazines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":5305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53,64,128],"tags":[143,409,102],"coauthors":[555],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Misruptions \/ Disruptions - An interactive timeline of Japanese graphic design magazines<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ian Lynam introduces one of his latest projects \u2014 an interactive timeline of Japanese graphic design magazines.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/magazine\/graphic-design\/misruptions-disruptions-an-interactive-timeline-of-japanese-graphic-design-magazines\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Misruptions \/ Disruptions - An interactive timeline of Japanese graphic design magazines\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ian Lynam introduces one of his latest projects \u2014 an interactive timeline of Japanese graphic design magazines.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/magazine\/graphic-design\/misruptions-disruptions-an-interactive-timeline-of-japanese-graphic-design-magazines\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Design Made in Japan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/designmadeinjapan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-10-21T03:59:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-10-22T03:02:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ian-lynam-misruptions_disruptions-japanese-graphic-design-history-timeline_design-made-in-japan.gif\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"840\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"467\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/gif\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ian Lynam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ilynam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@designmadeinjp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Ian Lynam\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/magazine\/graphic-design\/misruptions-disruptions-an-interactive-timeline-of-japanese-graphic-design-magazines\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/magazine\/graphic-design\/misruptions-disruptions-an-interactive-timeline-of-japanese-graphic-design-magazines\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Ian Lynam\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/designmadeinjapan.com\/#\/schema\/person\/ece477e47f8396df77d8bd499270bebe\"},\"headline\":\"Misruptions \/ Disruptions &#8211;
