‘F1 [ o ]’ is a series of greeting cards, I designed based on my current research communication design thesis, for a competition by Design21(UNESCO) expressing the sentiment of “I’m with you!” during the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster  in Japan.

Today’s generation are breaking down traditional communication methods and are finding ways to cut short the components of vocabulary. And it is those elements that form a common language thread to communicate my message in the greeting cards. And the icons and symbols form a universal tool overcoming challenges posed by language and provide communication tools to be globally understood. These icons and symbols in the greeting cards are also user friendly: They could be typed as a status message, transferred / printed on any accessory.
