Due to the influence of pop art prevailing in the United States at that time, Heng Weizhong incorporated a variety of psychedelic styles into his design works, combined with the characteristics of traditional Japanese elements, so that his works were not only in Japan, It is also unique in the world.

from It can be felt in the works of Japanese designer Mr. Nagai : The implication behind the image performance of the fusion of fuzzy texture, even the fuzzy points, lines and decorative textures at the details of the work, are expressing the artist's emotion and strength. There is no need to add eye-catching color embellishment, but the important idea of silence and simple texture fuzzy interweaving makes people ponder more.

   The design technique integrating surreal elements as a highly conceptual artistic style Japanese designers hope that this trend can be more seen in image centered media, including posters, album art and book covers.


Through the above analysis of graduation design and design style, it is not difficult to see that the trend of Japanese graphic design is becoming more scientific and diversified, and this trend also corresponds to the design changes in the current market. Not only Japan, graphic design, as an important link in the modern commercial market, Both the focus of colleges and the market are changing with the change of design style.


Therefore, in the teaching system, Japanese colleges and universities have also integrated advanced concepts and systems such as commercialization, project practice, interdisciplinary teaching, etc., further consolidating Japan's top position in graphic design.


Of course, this also means that more careful preparations should be made for the collection of works applied to Japanese art colleges. In addition to focusing on the improvement of graphic professional skills in traditional fields, the style and mentor orientation of different colleges should also be taken into account.
