About stonto
Ideas polished by the flow of the river become beautifully rounded gems.
I aim to assist in creating "creative works" that resonate with your heart,
just like the moment you place a picked "stone" into a treasure box.
About the Logo
The logo embodies three meanings, distilled into a simple form:
(1) The passage of time refining a rough stone
(2) A gem fitting into a rectangular treasure box (3) The Japanese kanji "石" (stone)
【Base Font】GillSans was chosen for its balance of reliability, slight sharpness, and approachability.
About Me
My name is Kojiro Ishiguro, born in Miyagi, Japan, in 1994.
Since childhood, I have had a strong interest in "expressing" through drawing, music, and films.
I studied graphic design and digital art at university and joined a consulting firm in Tokyo in 2017.
I was responsible for creating IR tools (brochures/slides), logos, websites, videos, and more for listed companies,
and served as the manager of the company's owned media, where I handled video design and management for two years from the launch of our YouTube channel.
Concurrently, I pursued my passion as an artist, holding two solo exhibitions in Tokyo where I displayed and sold my illustrations.
I left the company in November 2023, and I am now based in Australia with a working holiday visa.
After spending time in Coffs Harbour and Tasmania, I currently reside in Sydney.
I engage in creative activities online, connecting with the world.
My Origin
My creative origin lies in "copying dinosaur encyclopedias." I've had a deep admiration for fossilized animals since childhood.
In the harsh environment of the Earth, various "inevitabilities" overlap, resulting in the final "form" of a species.
I have been captivated by the romance and beauty of this process.
The "evolution of life" and "design" are very similar.
The beauty in design does not precede "inevitability." Only by discerning the essence of the problem and approaching it with a wealth of ideas and logic does beauty emerge.
I aim to carry out my creative work with this foundation in mind.
