Sorry that I made some silly mistakes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
No problem.. Thank you for your concern...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a question though: is the last question aims at collecting my own very personal feelings and impression towards the poster art? I somehow feel that I was not answering what you meant to ask... (^_^;; ) (Jiji)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually what I want is a personally thought of Ghibli Poster that already been shared with other people.... so it's also the result of thinking of many people....
I don't think people can't have thought about Ghibli if he doesn't share it with a friend or colleagues... but btw... if you have any other friend... maybe UO the webmaster... can you persuade them to write to me or in this thread...? Sorry for troubling... this will become sources of consideration before I jump to conclusion...

Quite a nice interview. It has broadened my perspective on design and art, and on some aspects of the Japanese culture.
I wonder if posters have a greater significance in Indonesia? It is rare to see someone who is an expert solely on the field of posters. (Jiji)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummm... he is not actually that kind of world master poster expert... but he's known in design & art world as the one with marvelous illustration and have done research about it including Japanese arts. And he also a poster analyzer... but I think normal people like who love to know about poster might also called expert. Anyway movie poster in Indonesia is also become decorative, influenced by many Asia films such as Taiwan, Japan, Korean... but still have Western style. Indonesian far too much in adopting Western style so that they almost for their own culture... I am Indonesian although I'm Chinese (but I can't talk nor understand Chinese)... so I still have Chinese culture run for years in my family since I was child.... but Native Indonesian especially the teenagers love to adopt Western style such as bringing car to school... eat burgers or KFC (strange since KFC should be a lower-class fast-food restaurant.... but Indonesian sees it different...)
I think slow or quick... Indonesia will lose their roots if nobody do something....
Indonesian school system was more like Japanese... but now they are going to change it full western style...
Maybe because it's fashionable...
To tell the truth... Indonesia have a problem now...
Why... because the fast imported style from foreign... and slow domestic concept. Anime in Japan and in Indonesia only differ 1 month! since many fansubs are compiled into VCDs. Japanese Movies, Korean Movies, HK, China, Taiwan, Europe, or US movies are distributed very fast since there's many illegal movie importer... and Indonesian love those movie rather than Indonesian one.. so Indonesian movie producer thinked to survive in movie industry, so they must create something that audience like.... and yes.. they are foreign movies... which don't looks like Indonesian at all...
Oops... I'm out of topic... sorry... but if you want to have some information about Indonesia, this might be an input...
There's many of my friend that want to go to Japan just because they love Gundam or something, and wanted to be illustrator in Sunrise or any other studio... yet they don't know the reality in Japan at all.... I already know the reality, but that makes me want to go to Japan more
Poster don't have a significant job. Movie poster very-very rarely put on billboard or city walls because of the cost and that the citizen looks like againts those kind of advertisement. We can only know movie poster in a rental and seldomly updated. It often becomes a bonus in a magazine. Pamflet is not popular as an advertising media for a movie. So the way we know poster is just from the one put on the theater... the Home-Video cover (usually the same with the poster), magazine, or video rentals. TV Ads is secondary. It's not common too to have advertising poster on trains, busses, taxis, or airplane. The most effective promotion media is magazine and Buzz Marketing (mouth-to-mouth advertising)... and the illegal importer.
So people knows movies not from poster or tv ads first, but from Magazine (domestic and foreign magazine) and buzz marketing! Posters... I think it would only be a bonus to the magazine readers...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And btw there are just some slight mistakes (Jiji)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks.. but I think people can still understand such a slight mistake... I will revised it later...
