Locally Produced Design Project is an attempt by JAGDA to let companies and young designers from the region experience the processes of communication design in workshop style in order to foster revitalisation of companies and skill development of designers.

The second installment of the project took place in Tottori in 2016. With “Branding of San’in Kaigan Geopark” as a theme, they worked on product development for two local clients. 

This book documents the process of how 2 project teams developed new products using local ingriedients, using design methods, illustrated with abundant plates and supporting materials. We hope this will be useful for anyone who wishes to make their local community a better place.
