About me

Masahiro Karino is a Japanese graphic designer with a keen eye for logical process to his creations. In his contributing theory 'A dream of typography' for the published book 'Lead Between the Lines', he constructed a logically (grammatically) organised theory about translation of music into graphics. This logical method to visualise sound also has an angle to think about relationship between matters and language, which is influenced by research in thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

His final projects 'does typography dream of music

As his after graduation experiences, a placement at the design studio Why not associate and a freelance for the Atelier for Typography and Graphic Design, he has developed his skill in typography and graphic design with logical process for professional demands.

He directs now this logical theory to expanding into more general sounds to graphics. He believes this translation could approach various visualisation in indescribable elements in a project. This is his intention of design that a designed object is a communication instrument, which harmonises an element of creation with a communicated motif, and the harmonised object also have an indescribable element of the motif.
