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? & musicological typography’ can be seen as one of the realization of his logical method with music and typography. This achievement of two years pursuing his passion for conceptualising creations has been also evaluated as class of distinction.
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.
