Discover the Secrets of Culture-Reflective Design!

Overview
C&R Corporation is excited to announce two free online seminars aimed at creators in the gaming industry. On September 7, 2026, we will re-release the recording of last year's successful seminar titled Unlocking the Secrets of Culture-Reflective Design, focusing on cultural differences in visual communication. On September 25, 2026, we'll also provide access to the archives of our seminar Decoding Visual Communication through Icons and Emojis, originally held in October. These recordings will be presented entirely in English, with Japanese interpretation available.

This seminar series explores the use of emojis, icons, and text as visual languages that communicate culture, emotions, and experiences. We'll dive deep into how these forms of communication shape player experiences and cultural identities, while also contrasting interpretations across different cultures. Join us as we uncover insights that can help you create designs that resonate globally.
