HINATA TANAKA

Spring 2025, Studio Art Major

Hinata Tanaka is a Senior at North Central College, majoring in Studio Art and Jazz Studies. As an international student from Japan, her multicultural experience deeply influences her work as both an artist and musician. Specializing in digital illustration, she draws inspiration from Japanese subcultures such as comics and animation, and aspires to create original comic books in the future. Currently, she is working as an intern at a business coaching company, developing her graphic design skills across various projects, including web design, event banners, and social media content. She is particularly intrigued by design as a communication tool, where subtle visual elements—such as typography, layout, and color choices—shape how viewers perceive and engage
with information.
