Los Angeles Times / CALENDAR / SUNDAY, MARCH 4. 2018.
Wraparound cover, Maze illustration for Academy Awards

With no clear front-runner in sight, the twists and turnsof this year's Oscars race extend all the

way to the red carpet.Will the top prize go to "Shape of Water'? 'Get Out'? "Three Billboards

Outside Ebbing, Missouri'? See if you can make your way through the maze of contenders, and keep

an eye out for depictions of the nominees for best picture and a few other big movies as well.

由于没有显而易见的领跑者，今年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼的悬念延续在了所有通往红毯的路。最佳影片会花落谁家? “水形物语”、“逃出绝命镇”, 还是《三块广告牌》?

您能否走出提名者的迷宫，并保持请留意最佳影片的提名描述以及其他几部令人印象深刻的大电影。

CONCEPT :

The idea is... It is difficult to guess who will take Oscar = Like a difficult maze on a red carpet.

So They want detailed maze illustration in our style.

制作概念 :

我们制作的想法是, 很难去预测奥斯卡的最终赢家, 这就像迷宫一样, 因此客户与我们合作了的迷宫风格插画

PROCESS 1 :

At first, we thought of making a maze shaped like “90” as this year is the 90th Oscars (see thumbnail). We rejected this idea ourselves. However, this “90” idea was thought about again and again, even after the project was finished! In any case, we wanted to make a more complicated maze shape and so we tried to remake it over and over again.

Bearing in mind the hard conditions (mainly, our tight schedule), our first idea was to include the nominees in a simple picture, using only one color.

We then started to think more about what we could do to entertain the viewers on this day in the morning of the Academy Awards.

步骤1 :

一开始, 因为是第90届奥斯卡, 所以我们想把迷宫制作成90的样式. 但是最终我们把这个想法给否决了, 尽管我们把这个想法想了一遍又一遍, 及时在这个项目已经完成的时候依然在纠结! 因为如果90这个数字显而易见, 那也就降低了迷宫的难度, 也就丧失了最初的制作概念——以迷宫, 来表达奥斯卡的最终赢家难以预测.

这份报纸会在奥斯卡颁奖典礼的早上被印刷, 而堂堂奥斯卡的颁奖典礼的日期可是不会变的, 所以这个项目的制作时间十分紧迫. 最初的想法, 仅仅是只想用一种颜色来制作这幅插画.但是为了考虑读者, 我们又进一步思考, 在奥斯卡颁奖礼的早上, 如何能把这个作品有一个更好的呈现

Thumbnail ideas, Rough sketches

PROCESS 2 :

We thought hard about the readership of the paper. Not only movie officials in Hollywood but also movie fans would likely be glad if they could find pieces they cared about.

Also, this ceremony would be watched with keen interest in relation to diversity (race/gender/sexuality), minorities, immigration, sexual harassment and power harassment etc.

We wondered how much real life we could include in our drawings. We didn’t want it to become too serious, but, likewise, didn’t want to dodge serious issues. We also considered the terrible tragedy of a shooting at a high school in Florida during the paper’s production. Should we change the pictures of characters depicted with guns?

We are Japanese from Hiroshima, Japan and, as such, worried that there may be many things that we didn’t understand? Also, in Japan, many of these movies had not been released yet. We were worried about these kinds of things during the time-pressured design phase. We worried that our understanding of such complex issues may not be enough for this job.

In the end, we included more nominees using full-color, and with various scenes in the style of our usual work. We wanted to entertain those at the ceremony, keeping them occupied while waiting for the awards, during the ceremony and even after the awards. We hope it succeeded!

步骤2:

我们考虑了很多关于读者的受众, 应该不仅仅是好莱坞的电影制作人, 一定还有电影观众, 他们如果能在这幅迷宫插画里找到他们喜欢的人物, 那一定很有趣!

奥斯卡颁奖典礼不仅仅是被普罗大众所收看, 还有各种各样的社会群体, 少数民族, 移民, 以及深受性骚扰和权力骚扰的人群

我们想知道能在这张图纸中可以包含多少现实生活。我们并不想太严肃, 但是同样的, 也不想因此避开严肃问题, 我们考虑到了在这个项目的制作期间发生的弗罗里达州枪击案, 我们是否应该避免在画中出现的枪支?

我们是来自日本广岛的设计工作室, 也担心是否还会有很多想这样但我们并不了解的事情？而且在日本, 很多的电影还并没有公映, 在时间紧迫的设计阶段，我们同时在担心这类事情。我们担心对此类复杂问题的理解不足, 可能难以完成这项工作。

最终, 我们囊括了更多的提名影片, 使用了全彩, 运用了我们风格里的各种各样的场景. 我们希望我们的插画可以在颁奖典礼上起到作用, 在等待奖项的时候能好好享受, 甚至在之后颁奖典礼之后能被带回家, 希望如此吧哈哈哈
