Hola from Tokyo! 🗼

I know it has been a while but I just relocated here from London, so I was a bit busy as you can imagine!

FRESH to have you back ❤︎

This issue is all about:

MONOCHROME ≠ B&W only

Is all about 1 COLOUR, no matter which one!

BTW, the current Instagram is not a Monochromatic UI… it has Black, red and blue in its colour palette!

Enjoy, It’s a great time to be a designer!

Digital Products

FES Watch • SONY • 2015

No doubt my most favourite Monochrome digital product is this watch which was successfully crowdfunded through SONY’s platform First Flight

Oops yes, it is B&W but this is a perfect gadget for those like me who only dress in Black.

I thought FES was a bit bulky and clunky at first, but its sleek minimal watch face and the great variety of face and band combinations really makes me want to buy this E-ink dumb-watch (just not smart/connected).

I love Victionary series (coming from HK), if you have a chance, go check their books to the store because they are all exceptional! Plus you can alsofind my work in one of them
