Description This is my personal take on the idiosynchracies that eastern cultures have in respect to design from a western point-of-view. They may usually contain:
  • The unusual choices of color; Sometimes pastel and technicolor choices in place of something that requires elegance or subtlety.
  • That special brand of "Engrish" which shows that sometimes things are lost in translation.
  • The sometimes unwarranted (and sometimes inappropriate) use of cutesy characters on signs (I just find it kind of creepy seeing pokemon-like characters advertising condoms).

    Just a casual observation put into art form...No wonder other countries hate us...

    Shit that's true! I've always hated both, the word Kawai and these "cute" characters everywhere. What hurts is seeing some deviations that are actually bad but get the most favourites for them being "cute"

    I like the Engrish site (Y) it's very entertaining

    This is definitely one of your best, from a research standpoint. The piece hits several levels and I greatly appreciate your explanation in the description. I agree, as well, about the "cutesy" on condoms being creepy! Cutesy on war propaganda, even more terrifying!
