About "Joy of Design"Awards Overview［ Entry Media ］

Wallpaper［ Theme ］

Joy of Design［ What You Should Do ］
Design a sheet of wallpaper by imaging, since wallpaper is a product, whowould use the space and how and remembering the contest theme of theJoy of Design .
Wallpaper is meaningless on its own. Not until it is pasted on a wall does it
fulﬁll its said purpose.
And, that purpose can be anything ‒ to make a hospital more cheery, a hotel
something to remember, a classroom more inviting to open discussion or anoﬃce more conducive to streamlined work ﬂows. A single sheet of wallpaper
can instill an air of comfort or change a person s mood.
That said, before actually designing anything, you should think about yourwallpaper not just as a product but also in terms of the purpose and desired
eﬀect you want it to have in the space you imagine, and put your designconcepts down in writing.
［ Wallpaper Specs ］
・Wallpaper is an interior covering pasted onto walls
