The January 2023 issue of the design magazine “IDEA” is the 400th issue, and the 70th anniversary of its first issue.
First published in 1953 as a platform for the development of postwar Japanese design. Since then, for 70 years, we have continued to convey to the world the state of design in all ages and countries, centering on graphic design and typography. In recent years, the breadth of the frontage is also attractive, such as special projects that approach peripheral areas such as manga, animation, and games from a design perspective.
Idea is attractive for its different specifications and high-quality printing for each issue, but in order to more easily deliver seasonal information to readers around the world, we will start selling an electronic version starting with the 400th issue.

It can be viewed using the digital content distribution platform “bookend” of idoc Co., Ltd., and both the dedicated application and web browser are equipped with a text search function. The layout of the paper version is kept as it is, and the range of utilization as a digital document is expanded.
Sales are scheduled to start in the spring of 2023. Details will be posted on the Idea official website and the Seibundo Shinkosha website.
