As the modern society becomes mechanized and digitized, failure is gradually further away from our life, and the attitudes of people who do not tolerate errors or mistakes become accustomed to. Also in the design area, works are carried out with utmost care and in fine detail, in order not to allow errors in from the most basic tools such as grids and color up to the final stage such as printing. In this study, without focusing on the perfection, the starting point was the attention to abandoned aspects due to failure and mistakes.
A word 'defect' was chosen to express such incompleteness, which was interpreted to be a faulty part since it was insufficient or incomplete. Therefore, the defect itself is considered to be meaningful and interesting material, rather than discarding or fixing the defect and starting over. Being a starting point to find a novel visual expression, the defect is a way that can show another visual domain. This study was conducted with an attitude of enjoying the defect itself, not looking to find a solution to prevent it. Based on these concepts, works were carried out in such a way that an output of good emotion could be elicited out of defects through interesting visual elements brought by various forms of defects.
