Taro’s Folder Project Concept Visual and Design Experimentation The project is based on the idea of an exhibition collection of works, typefaces, and identities that were never used or published, left dormant in folders or unused hard drives. In the modern world of graphic design, it is essential for a designer to learn to live with unresolved and discarded ideas, analyzing them and, if necessary, giving them a second life. Taro’s Folder takes inspiration from both digital and physical aesthetics, intertwining it with elements of Japanese mythology, particularly the legend of Urashima Taro. According to the myth, after saving an elderly turtle, Urashima Taro is invited to the Dragon King’s palace, where he spends many days. However, upon his return, he discovers that centuries have passed since his visit, making the time he spent there seem trivial and indifferent to those around him, who have long since passed away. Thus, the Taro’s Folder collection serves as an opportunity to breathe life into discarded projects and works, with the awareness of their inevitable obsolescence and perceived futility. Taro’s Folder is presented as a double-sided A3 poster.
