JR

JRの略称で有名なご存知鉄道会社。もともとは国鉄ですが、国鉄時代を知ってる人もこの業界じゃあどんどん減ってくんでしょうなぁ。“JR”ってビシッと車両の側面に描かれた時、「おお」と思ったもの。

で、このJRですが、まー、東京付近じゃJR東日本の管轄になってます。正式名称は“東日本旅客鉄道株式会社”ですね。

で、旧国鉄時代は相当な赤字だったもんで、民営化された後、社名の“鉄”の字が「金を失う」と読めて縁起が悪いということで、JR各社の社名の“鉄”の字は「金偏に“矢”」になってます。

びっくりでした。というようなコネタをひとつ。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
