The book will put readers at the center of her process (from conceptto execution), examining how her life and heroes influenced the specialvision she brings to the world of film poster design. Akiko's art makingstory will be told in a way that mirrors her process, utilizinganalog and modern techniques (including film, film photography, andillustration), all in an effort to a better understanding of hercreativity.
Having become one of the most respected movie poster designers andillustrators of her generation, with 22 Clio awards to her name, she isnow on the cusp of a major creative change in her life: She has begun toembrace her own fine art and has branched out into new mediums, withthe hope of exhibiting her work in the future. This book will capturewhat she has so skillfully harvested from just one realm of herimagination so far.
