We Can Supervise
Your Use of Japanese Language and Culture in Your Designs
Graphic designs with correct Japanese
Japanese, and kanji in particular, is complex and diverse—even native Japanese speakers must be careful to use it correctly. While translation software has improved significantly in recent years, it’s still risky to rely on it entirely for accurate Japanese in your designs. Our Japanese designers will review your work to ensure it uses correct Japanese. If you prefer, we can focus solely on the Japanese text in your designs.
We’ll Review Your Use of Japanese Culture and Religious Elements
For example, it’s never desirable to learn that you’ve used a religious symbol in an insensitive manner. Another common mistake is confusing Japanese culture with that of China, Indonesia, or other nearby Asian countries. We will examine your design from a cultural and religious standpoint to ensure it is appropriate.
Work Process
Consultation
To thoroughly understand your design needs and objectives, we will begin with a consultation session conducted via email. During this email-based discussion, we will also explore the specific elements of Japanese language and culture you wish to incorporate into your design.
Supervision
Our team will carefully review your designs to ensure they are appropriate for your target audience and aligned with your brand identity. We will provide feedback on the use of Japanese language and culture, including grammar, phrasing, idioms, and visual elements. We will also suggest improvements and alternatives to enhance the overall impact of your designs.
Final Approval
After you incorporate our feedback and make any necessary changes, we will conduct a final review to ensure that your design meets our high standards for Japanese language and cultural appropriateness. We are committed to helping you accurately and effectively represent your brand and message to your Japanese-speaking audience.
