MdN Designers File 2024

The latest design yearbook, featuring the works and profile data of 257 teams of top creators and up-and-coming designers active on the front lines across eight categories: “Advertising,” “Symbols & Logotypes,” “Book Design,” “Editorial,” “Packaging,” “Goods,” “Web,” and “UI.”

Through this book, not only can one be stimulated by the creative desire by touching various works and feeling the current trends of “now” in design expression, but it also provides an understanding of the creators’ profiles, balancing both design and practicality. It is a book that can be utilized by everyone interested in design, not only active designers and creators in the field but also those who commission design and branding, and those aspiring to enter the creative industry.

In its 22nd year of publication, the 2024 edition was art directed by Asami Sato (Sato Sankai). The binding and cover design, themed “Analog Sensation, Revisited,” aims for an expression that is fun and playful, taking advantage of the texture and three-dimensionality unique to “paper books.”

Recommended for:
– Those who want to know the latest trends in graphic design
– Those involved in advertising, product planning and development, public relations, etc.
– Those aspiring to enter the design or creative industry
