経験を活かし、好きなことを一つにしぼらない働き方

――Please tell us your profile up to Mr. Tabuchi.

I started my career as a designer when I got a job at a web production company in Shinjuku when I was a new graduate.Although the title was a designer, HTML coding was also performed at the same rate as the design.After that, about two companies have taken care of production companies with different strengths, and are now involved in the digital design of a wide range of genres, such as corporate sites, brand sites, installations and event promotions.

Graduated from HAL Mode Gakuen, Shogo Tabuchi.He works on the web interaction, interface design, video, steel and illustrations, and front -end engineering.He is active in a wide variety of genres and creative boundaries.Good at interaction design in which people and digital acts on each other.

――What kind of work are you currently doing?

Now, while working as a branding designer for a business company, I work on my own.This is because I have gained various experiences in the past 16 years since I became a member of society, so I would like to find a way of working that does not stop what I like while taking advantage of the abilities I have cultivated among them.I think.

As a second job, I am a freelance name "S5 Studios", and I am working as an art director and designer to receive the total production of web production.The third is a relatively new initiative and is involved as a mentoring and advisor as an advisor design manager of a certain production company.The fourth is a web design gallery called "S5-STYLE".It is a so -called website curation site.

"S5-style" has been operated by Tabuchi for over 10 years.It is said that about a few sites are uploaded every day.

――I see, you are now moving with four pillars.

yes.It is the four largely divided into them.I'm not the main one in me, but I control my time well.As for the work content, they are all different, and they can be switched in a good way and comfort, so I enjoy each.

――I heard that the “S5-style” has been operating for over 10 years.

Originally, when I got a job as a new graduate, I was worried that I couldn't work with my own sense alone, so I started registering on a blog to study and studying on a variety of accurate sites.Even those who are using "S5-style" now have the same troubles as me at the time, and I may be using them, and I continue to continue with the hope that it will help.increase.

Now I have registered more than 8,000 websites, for example, I get an application in the email form or check the site myself to select it, but I have posted about 20 items.I wonder if there is one case.Then, simply calculated, I realized that I had seen nearly 200,000 websites (laughs).

クライアントの思いとつくり手の意識がうまく融合したサイト

――Is it definitely nurtured aesthetic eyes ...!Please tell me the job that Mr. Tabuchi has recently worked.

The first point is a total production of a dental clinic website called "The Dental" in Ikejiri Ohashi.He is a dentist who has a very high aesthetic sense, including the director, and has a museum and teeth as an artistic work.

At the same time, I want to be a place where patients can trust teachers and dental assistants, and to be able to relax and enjoy the space themselves.That said, I didn't aim for an unusual website, but the UI and UX aimed for a layout and interaction with a universal ease of use.

The official website of "THE DENTAL" based on black, which is unusual for a dental clinic.

――You can feel a high aesthetics that you have never seen on the dentist's site.

thank you.In addition to this tone, we propose an atmosphere like a skin care site for women, a modern atmosphere that is conscious of museums, and a so -called white background that is common for dentists.However, I liked the unique design based on this black from among them, and it was impressive that it was a prompt decision.

――I think that the aesthetics of the client and Tabuchi were well rubbed, but did you have any requests for the design from the other?

There is nothing in the design itself, and I think that it is a good thing to hear a lot about concepts and thoughts.It was useful for each copy, and after making a copy, I made a visual design, so it may be that I carried it smoothly.

――In the introduction of the staff, it is interesting to switch to plain clothes when you make a mouse -on.

That's right.This is from the desire of the other party, "I want to be a reliable consultant, so I want to make a glimpse of the humanity."For that reason, it also includes the atmosphere of everyday plain clothes and a little message.By the way, I think that the director of people is generally the top of the lord of people, but every time they reload, they are randomly arranged.Regardless of the position of the position, all the staff members think that they will serve customers flat to patients, but I think that is one of the features.

When you do a mouth -on, you will switch to a photo that tells the staff's hobbies and what you like.

――So, would you like to introduce another case?

The other is a website named "Kibousenakari", which has a pop taste in contrast to the former.This is a social platform in collaboration with Twitter, which is a project released this spring, which can be used as a cube on the site and can share what users want to do.

Just when the corona was wrong, the world was full of anxiety, and SNS was the center of dark topics.So, when Corona converges, I want to make the world a little brighter by visualizing what I want to do or support for those in need.It is a job I helped with sympathy with the client's thoughts.

"Kibouuna Kari" is posted a lot of "hope" that you want to fulfill.It seems that there was a project in which a cube -shaped installation was placed in a realistic place, and comments posted on the website were reflected in real life, but it was developed on the website because the emergency declaration was prolonged.Client: Hito-to-hito / Production: Epoch)

I also worked on the production and direction of pop artwork, interaction and sound direction, and the whole UI design.I wanted to make things that would not get tired even if I looked for a long time, so I made a storyboard and so on.Now that Corona is calm, the number of comments on the site is not so large, and it is not the case that this site has spread widely in the world, but that is the world that is not necessary.I think positively that I'm in.

When posting, the design of the cube can be selected from various patterns and colors.

作業環境を邪魔しない「PD2725U」のシンプルなフォルム

――So, I would like to hear the story of the designer monitor “PD2725U” that I tried this time, but Mr. Tabuchi is currently using a BENQ gaming monitor, so the usual work environment and this monitor.Can you ask me how I got it?

First of all, the usual work environment is the MacBook Pro and the gaming monitor "Zowie".The rest is a mouse and a hard disk drive, and I don't use it elsewhere.It is a type that only uses the minimum necessary items for a long time, and there are quite a few tools lined up in PC docks and minimal.

The monitor of "Zowie" was presented when the game community was requested to produce "VaultRoom".Until then, I was working for the company, so I didn't need a monitor at home, but I just used "Zowie" at the time before it became a remote work due to corona.

――The story called minimal, are you more interested in new tools and gadgets?

I realize that it will not be more than around (laughs).Instead, I am very interested in making the work environment and the desk around me comfortable.The current company has been completely remote since Corona's evil, but since then I have been particular about what I like, such as desks and chairs.

The desk uses Okayama's furniture manufacturer called "Momo Natural", and the chair is "Bartibra 03" in Itoki.He seems to be trying to create a space where you can design while relaxing, such as decorating your favorite pictures on the wall or placing an aroma diffuser.

――If you work at home for a long time, the comfort of the working environment is important.By the way, how was your first impression when you placed the "PD2725U" sent this time?

The first thing I felt was that the form was very simple, so it didn't feel narrow at all when I put it on my desk even though it was a large screen.The stand was flat and did not interfere with other things on the desk, so it was an impression that could be used widely.

Also, I place the MacBook Pro and the monitor side by side on a straight line, not left and right, but in that case, if there is no monitor at a higher position than the Mac, it will overlap.The "PD2725U" is personally convenient and convenient to be able to raise the screen high with the arm, and is now in a very easy -to -work state.
