Public vote winner for graphic design of the year: Motive Inc. has designed the Totetsu Training Institute in Ibaraki, Japan.

The project was focused on creating a wayfinding system at the Totetsu Training Institute, which the company built to help preserve its legacy of unique expertise, enhance its technological prowess, and develop highly capable human resources.

Totetsu Kogyo Co. was founded at the request of the former Ministry of Railways to maintain and reinforce Japan’s rail system and is a general construction company with far-reaching expertise in the field of rail-related construction.

For the design motif, the design team used rail lines – the core identity of Totetsu Kogyo, which continues to thrive in the rail sector.
