15) Editor's notes
February is one or two days shorter than the other month but
when I see the number "29" I feel this is very short month. I
mean.. I felt very short until the update of Shift March issue. In
Japan, almost all type of school students graduate in March. This
is a time of finishing and re-starting. I will also graduate from
my university.
The contents for this month announces some conference or
competition . I feel the design world starts moving like a bud of
flower waiting spring. Sapporo is still freezing cold though.. By
the way, have you already looked at Shift Blog which started last
month? It is a communication space between Shift contributors
and you. Please visit and leave your comments! (N)
