ロゴデザインで学ぶ Learn with logo design

Let me share a little about the process behind creating the ‘Youforyou’ logo.

Please take a moment to click and explore.


I have been sharing thoughts daily about how to navigate life in this information age. Nowadays, how many clicks or taps do we make on our phones, tablets, or computers in a single day?


Since the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work and digital tasks have increased, and for many people, clicking happens hundreds of times a day.


When someone visits my website or views my content, I am deeply grateful for that one click and the time they spend.


The design I created taught me once again that design is about caring.


This link design symbolizes ‘YOUFORYOU,’ which means support for yourself.


The ‘Clear’ logo offers transparent support for you.


I’ve quietly placed this idea below the click button to express this sentiment.


I love the design :)


Of course, it’s my own creation!

On the homepage, we are introducing a new concept. The concept of my artwork is ‘Clear’. After organizing the previous website, this is how it turned out. I would be grateful if you could take a look.


Additionally, a new shop is also featured. I am determined to take on new projects and challenges moving forward, so I appreciate your continued support.


『Clear』


What shines resides within our hearts.

When you feel that simple inspiration, it’s already…

『Clear』


[f:id:yu-_chang:20240926230204j:plain]


In the simplicity of our hearts,

There are moments that sparkle like precious gems.

We don’t need diamonds,

For the light is within us.


What shines is in our hearts.

水彩画  Watercolor

I hadn’t thought much about watercolor painting until now, but I’ve been considering that it might be nice to try sometimes. I painted a piece, but since I usually work with oil paints, I found myself in an emergency situation where I didn’t know how to frame it. I thought, “Wait, maybe it’s fine without a frame?”

When I tried digitally removing the edges, it somehow felt nice, and I thought, “Hmm, this exhilaration feels like the Renaissance,” which led to a rather nonsensical train of thought. I ended up attaching a frame in the Renaissance style, with a design that says “Sometimes Watercolor” and my signature—something I really like on my own! ♡


When someone asks if I normally frame my paintings, I find myself at a loss for words, so I hope they don’t ask. I’m not sure if my feelings are getting across to others, but it’s fun doing this by myself! ♡


I’ll share the design here, and for more details, check out my Instagram! ^ - ^

個人情報 personal information

The definition of personal information refers to information about an individual that can identify them, such as their name, date of birth, address, phone number, and email address. This includes information that may not identify an individual on its own but can do so when matched with other information.


In Japan, the “Act on the Protection of Personal Information” defines personal information as “information concerning a living individual that can identify a specific individual by name, date of birth, or other descriptions.” This also includes information regarding the physical, mental, or economic status of a specific individual.


It’s surprising to think that there are companies and people who derive enjoyment from leaking personal information.


What would they do if they were sued for violating the Labor Standards Act? Is it really worth it for them to make money that way? They should get caught by the police.


Everything would come crashing down for them, along with their family. What about the children?


First and foremost, protecting oneself is a basic requirement. However, on top of that, people should understand that it is truly merciless to deceive, exploit, shock, control, belittle, or deny the efforts of others.


Well, such things won’t last forever.


In reality, even if personal information is leaked, the daily nuisance of spam calls feels like an incessant siren. But if you block notifications, it becomes negligible. ^ - ^


It doesn’t disrupt my daily life at all.


Calls are meaningless.


I pray for everyone’s happiness. That’s all I truly wish for.

お笑いについて  About comedy

I think the culture of comedy varies from country to country. In Japan, people tend to leave everything to the professionals in comedy, relying on them to entertain. It’s characteristic that they draw inspiration from these comedians and imitate their acts.


I believe the primary source of information is television, but since I don’t watch TV, I’m not really sure anymore.


It seems that non-Japanese people prefer “wordplay,” while in Japan, the main form of humor often involves satirical commentary. I think many people may not have been aware of this, and I’m not certain if I’m correct.


When it comes to social satire, it has historically appeared in traditional monologues. Japan has its share of this too. People who have a fixed concept often find monologues more amusing.


By the way, what is this fixed concept? Is it religion? Buddhism? Or is it non-religious? Since I’ve been drawing for so long, I guess I have my own “religion” in that sense.


What is that even? Am I assuming the role of a guru? I don’t really want to be a painter, after all. Who am I, really? ^ - ^

Here’s a picture, and while it might seem amusing, I put a lot of dedication into each stroke! I think many people might imagine that I paint with such intensity, but in reality, I’m often in a very light-hearted mood while painting, like “da da da—(´∇`)”.


Oh, that’s in the past tense now. I used to paint like that. I apologize if that’s far from what you imagined. I paint with a smile, and that’s the story.


facebook更新 Facebook Update

I didn’t really have much recognition of Facebook, but I only had six connections—my family (relatives), close friends, and people I worked with at the hair salon.

However, it seems that Facebook is considered the most trustworthy platform.


Here’s how I perceive things:


• Instagram is for photos.

• Blogs are blogs.

• Twitter (X), TikTok, and Threads? I’m not quite sure anymore.

• Facebook is for real names.


This expression of “the thing” is a useful way to describe it.

Oh, I see—it’s because it uses real names that it can be trusted.

I understand now!! ^ - ^

Anyway, honestly, nobody really looks at this blog^ - ^

Not to brag, but something good happened recently in the family, but I’ll keep the details private.

You’ll know if you see it.

Thank you!♪
