LET'S GO! いきましょう!
Spring '09
A bilingual, bi-cultural board game concept and illustration series. 'Let's Go! いきましょう!' is the product of a deep personal interest in improved social interaction between people of different cultures in the United States beginning with the familiarization of young children. In this game, players would move around the board as they follow the narrative of a day in the lives of two friends, Nate and Kenji, learning fun cultural facts about Japanese American and European American lifestyles as they advance. The concept development involved heavy research and study of language as well as the writing and translation of all copy. Illustrations of characters and objects were hand-drawn and then rendered into a vector format, and the board illustration was produced using digital
photo-collaging processes.
