   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)
