Announcement
I finally decided to leave the current company I’m working for and to take on projects as a freelance designer!
Some of you might already know that because I was shouting on Facebook and Twitter some time ago.
I already have some main client companies and been pretty busy, but I’m mostly available for any design related jobs, such as
- concept design
- iPhone, iPad, Mac app design
- industrial design
- web design
- graphic design
For the people and companies who have talked to me but were asked to wait until I’m ready, I am now (I’ll start from July 2010)! Thank you so much for waiting.
I’ve already been asked to join some very very exciting projects, for example future device concept designs for movie clips, a desktop Mac application, iPhone apps and some others that I can’t reveal now.
For business, I’m using
- LikedIn– to get business connections
- Behance Network– to introduce my main works
Contact
Email me either at
- mac.funamizu@me.com
- LinkedIn email
- Behance Network message
For contact of my mobile phone/Skype, please also email me.
I’m waiting for your message. By the way, my real name is Makoto Funamizu, but call me Mac.
Here’s a promotion movie to introduce most of the mobile phone concepts I’ve made so far.
Dew – Future Wearable Mobile Device Concept
Like one of my previous posts (Cobalto), I was picturing sci-fi movies when I thought of this wearable mobile phone. It’s something I want to see used in a futuristic scene.
The ball works as a controller and an indicator changing colors. It can slide anywhere on the surface.
Of course it’d be fun to watch 3D hologram on it.

Hungry Batteries: Rechargeable Battery Concept
It would be so helpful if there is a set of rechargeable batteries that change forms to tell you how “hungry” it is.
The thinner it is, the emptier the battery is. When it’s full, it’s just as straight as a normal battery.
Another merit is that when it’s thin, it’s much easier to take out from a packed battery room, especially if there are multiple betteries packed tight in line. Fat batteries don’t need to be changed anyway.

Calendar Desktop Wallpaper: May-June 2010

Sorry for the delay. So many things have been happening around me and I can’t even timely reply to press request messages. (Those who follow me on Facebook can easily figure out what’s happening though.)
Animation Video Chat
Now that we have Google’s automatic captioning on videos on YouTube, which I like very much, what about speech balloons around the captions? It’d be more helpful if the location of the voice source could be indicated by an arrow from the balloon and the voice tone could be expressed with different balloon shapes.
If your gestures could bring motion characters that can be manipulated on both sides, video chatting would become like a fun video game.
When your girlfriend throws a kiss when video-chatting, many hearts appear moving towards the thrown direction. You can touch and move the characters on your side.
Wink and get stars. (Can characters go beyond the chat window like this?)
You might think of lots of other gestures and fun characters.

Calendar Desktop Wallpaper: April 2010

Phew! I was in time for the beginning of the new month this time.
I like the houses in Kaysersberg (in north-eastern France) and for this calendar I tried to mimic them. Hope you like it.
World Cleanest Graffiti— iPhone App Concept
There are a number of drawing iPhone apps available, but I think it would be fun if you could paste the picture you draw on a real wall, but virtually.
Draw a picture with your iPhone.
Choose the wall you want to paste the picture on.
Point and paste the picture. Resizing possible.
Share it with people on an online map.
Or share with only the person you choose. And if you want someone to go to a place (physically) to see the picture, just choose “local share” only.
This is just like an old bulletin board outside and might work well if you want to convey your feeling to someone.
The images can be seen through your iPhone just like usual graffiti from any angle.
Thank you again for the great photos, *momoc.
