How would one go about landing a job as a graphic designer for a japanese magazine? In my last year of HS I did my 3 board design portfolio about my own magazine. Now
im nearing the start of my graphic design course which will just give me a diploma and im just trying to think ahead. I really like the style I see in a few japanese mags I have.

I don't even watch anime dawg.
What I meant by I like them was the style in Jap mags, mainly fashion and lifestyle ones like Popeye, Woofin and The Day. I really like the articles these guys come out with as well as their design style and working along with them could be smth really cool imo.
Like mentioned, thinking ahead

Those are ultra-influenced by western magazines. You only know the japanese ones because you care about japanese lifestyle (and you browse those /fa/ scan threads). And you care about japanese lifestyle because you're a fucking weeb.

Ok, then recommend me the western mags that influenced them so I dont have to go through the trouble of learning another language

Have you ever even travelled to japan before? I suggest you do >>>/trv/japan
If you don't know the language your gonna have a bad time living there permanently.

Japan fucking sucks, man. Take it from someone whose been there and done that. The japanese, like the chinese, mainly ape Western concepts and techniques but they don't have a real scene. The West is still where it's at. More specifically London. Just appropriate japanese style that you like and incorporate it into your work. You won't really get anything new form visiting japan.


Also, getting work in japan as a designer is hard. Getting work as a foreigner designer is damn near impossible. You'd need contacts on the inside to vouch for you. It's a totally non meritocratic society, it's all about connections.

It was made for Popeye by a Japanese art director of magazines, Seiichi Horiuchi

Oh, That's a bummer. I was hoping there was a font already made for this. Damn. :/

he helped op realize he was being a fucking weeb. Thats infinitely better than a magazine for him to ignore because it didnt have manga in it.
