books design
Dutch online design magazine Fontanel published an extensive, custom designed article on Kenya Hara's book Designing Design. Japanese graphic designer Kenya Hara wrote a personal introduction addressed to Fontanel's readers;
[…] I wrote this book out of a desire to communicate my approach and feelings to people around the world. Specifically, I envisaged the reader as being a Dutch woman designer aged about 27.
