-

Branding

-
02

-

AI × Creative
How we produce
A production system that draws on the strengths of both AI and people
Not AI alone,
and not people alone.
ASpeed — AI
With AI, we can propose concepts, designs, copy, and imagery faster than ever before.
HQuality — Human
Final quality—UX flows, brand design, and usability—remains under the careful direction of experienced creators.
We combine both strengths to deliver quality and speed together.
NoteAside from video and music, we can handle nearly everything as one-stop production.

Approach
How we work
Maximum impact,
minimal investment.
From conception to maturity, we will help you present your product to your customers through your website as well as through supplemental printed and digital media.
We also design logos and visual elements that make your company or storefront stand out from the crowd. With one-stop branding that covers essentials like business cards, stationery, and packaging in a high-quality, unified design, we can provide maximum impact for a minimal investment.
-
01Feature Our strength
A hybrid studio, fluent in both web and print.
Lotus prides itself in its ability to work in both digital and print media and can provide hybrid solutions that address the needs of both spheres. In terms of website development, we have a wide-ranging track record that includes both single-purpose and large-scale sites, including job search websites and e-commerce sites. By producing and maintaining both digital and print media assets in the same workflow, production and operation costs are kept low while we help your company grow in a format that is ideal for you.
-
02Fusion How we design
Art that moves people, on precise and solid engineering.
This results in branding that grabs the customer and draws them to your company or storefront. Form, function, and accessibility are key drivers for success. We design with holistic optimization in mind that removes barriers between users and the technology for smooth functionality. Our art captivates users and our systems run on precise and solid frameworks. By realizing these two aspects together in harmony, Lotus is building vibrant web sites that are also easy to maintain.
-
03Inclusion Who we design for
Barrier-free design, considerate of every user.
Web sites are the visual medium of the modern era. By designing with usability and accessibility in mind, we endeavor to offer barrier-free environments for a wide range of users. For example, approximately 5% of Japanese men have a form of color-blindness. Probably someone you know is affected by this condition. Our web sites and physical products are both designed using color choices that take into account the needs of users with color vision disabilities.
-
04Quality How we raise the bar
Ask us for 1, and we’ll propose 1.5.
Of course, we prioritize our clients' needs for our production work, but we always look at the critical factors for achieving effective communication with users and can leverage our professional experience to propose designs, systems, and strategies that can capture a greater audience for your business. We aim to exceed your expectations as we fulfill your needs. We always strive to build on our clients' proposals to give them back 150% of what we receive.
-
05Manage How we operate
Launch is only the beginning.
Our work does not stop once a website is delivered and goes online. We can help clients determine how to best run their sites and identify management needs. Website owners are often not provided with any operation guidelines, resulting in lost time and inefficiency as they struggle to keep up with site management. Precious resources such as time and money can be lost in such situations. When delivering products that require quality control and a unified approach, Lotus can provide additional support in the form of policies, guidelines, operation flows, and e-business optimization for your daily work.
-
06Teamwork How we collaborate
Collaboration that carries across languages and cultures.
The official language of global IT business is without a doubt English. In Japan, as a matter of course the majority of communication is carried out in Japanese, but even if foreign clients can speak Japanese it is difficult to expect your message will be conveyed fully in its native language. On the other hand, in English-speaking countries, several cultural, historical, and religious factors come into play, underlining the importance of targeted communication. To reach a global audience, language and communication skills take priority over technology, and we strive to respond to this need.
Fusing AI and creative craft —
one-stop from web to print.
