Akiyama Ayu Ayu Akiyama
Food creative director
Representative of DELICIOUS DESIGN Co., Ltd. (https://deliciousdesign.co.jp)
HUGE Co., Ltd. Executive Officer (https://www.huge.co.jp)
Born in 1982. He specializes in expressions such as “food” and “lifestyle,” and is active in a wide range of flexible, unconventional forms of expression, centering on graphic design, photography, and illustration.
As a child, she grew up as the granddaughter of a farmer while interacting with the scenery of fields and satoyama. My experience at a cooking contest I participated in when I was in elementary school triggered me to awaken to the appeal of cooking and food. After that, he continued to have a strong interest in “food,” aspired to be a cook, and majored in cooking and food culture when he was a student. Acquired the qualification of a food specialist or cook.
Joined Global Dining Co., Ltd. as a new graduate. They started as kitchen field staff, and then set up a product planning room. After leaving Global Dunning, he joined HUGE Co., Ltd. as a founding member in 2005. I worked for 16 years as a manager overseeing creatives involved in restaurant design, such as store planning, graphic design, menu development, etc., and I continue to be involved even now.
Menu direction/design/planning for all HUGE directly managed stores and stores, involved in the launch of more than 20 restaurants over 10 years, such as the prosperous store “RIGOLETTO (RIGOLETTO), whose tapas menu illustrations are an icon, and “Hacienda del Cielo/Daikanyama,” which had a big impact on the Mexican restaurant scene. It has established an impressive menu design and branding that is so impressive that it is called “Rigoletto when it comes to illustrated menus.”
Life's work is “eating and traveling.” Travel around the world and all over Japan and get in touch with the local food culture. The theme of travel and food is “From street food to starred restaurants!” Any meal is delicious, fun, and just eat! is the motto. In 2016, DELICIOUS DESIGN Co., Ltd. (Delicious Design) was established. Food-related creatives are expanding the creative framework without being bound by a mold, from product development to store concept planning, graphic design, and illustration.
[Creator Interview]
Q. What kind of activities do teachers usually do? Please introduce yourself briefly!
A. As the representative director of DELICIOUS DESIGN Co., Ltd., and an executive officer of HUGE Co., Ltd., I am creative direction not only for illustrations, but for food in general. I've been fond of cooking and painting since I was in elementary school, and my goal is to get a job related to cooking in the future, and I've also majored in “cooking/food” in high school and junior college. I originally liked illustrations, so I've been drawing for a long time, but I got a creative job at a restaurant company and learned graphic design and digital illustration by myself from there. Even at the company I represent, I work mainly on food design and illustration.
Q. What led you to start your current activities?
A. I made an illustrated menu at RIGOLETTO's first store, which opened in 2006, and my cooking illustrations gained popularity from there, and it became my job one after another. At the beginning, I used Copic and drew analog on paper, but due to the characteristics of combining it with graphic design, digital illustrations are easier to use, so I switched to digital illustrations around 2012. At first, I drew with Photoshop and a pen tablet, but with the advent of the iPad and Apple Pencil, it has dramatically become a familiar expression, and it is also posted with illustrations on Instagram.
Q. What points did you put the most effort into planning the class?
A. Even when it comes to cooking illustrations, it's not just one tone; since they are digital illustrations, it's easy to add variations of various expressions, so you should be able to draw a variety of illustrations. I value expressions that combine techniques to create many works that cannot be done with analog, and that bring out the warmth of analog even though they are digital.
Q. Please say a few words to the students!
A. First, “drawing is fun!” I want you to feel that. The expressions in digital illustrations are endless! However, it has too many functions, and I think there are many people who, on the contrary, have become a nuisance. I want people to feel the fun of digital illustrations, which are easy to do but can be expressed in a variety of ways. If you have an iPad and pencil, you can draw anywhere and as much as you want with digital illustrations! It provides time to immerse yourself in drawing. When I'm drawing, I'm so immersed in it that I'm in a zone-like state. It's fun and fun, and I want to draw forever! It makes me feel like that. I would like to be able to convey the joy of drawing what I like as it is.
