Making Administrative Procedures Easier to Understand Through the Use of Collections of Materials
Improving Technical and Confusing Administrative Procedures
Many of the digital procedures related to the My Number system are technical terms, and it is necessary to use illustrations and icons to convey them at a glance and in an easy-to-understand manner. However, until now, there have been no materials dedicated to official distribution by the government.
Therefore, it was necessary for local governments and private service providers to create their own, and there was a problem that the expression was scattered depending on the communicator.
Easy to Understand Presentation at Reduced Cost
Creating illustrations and icon materials requires specialized knowledge and a lot of time. Is visibility maintained at a high level? Are expressions easy to understand for people living in and visiting Japan? There are various considerations. By distributing materials that can be used by anyone, you can save time and effort for different institutions to produce and study the same thing.
At the same time, we distribute guidelines that allow you to check various matters to consider regarding the production of materials, so we can respond to your needs for "adding new materials in the future".
Aiming for "Friendly digitalization" that is easy for anyone to understand
The purpose of distributing this material is to make it easy for the public to understand the complicated operation methods and procedures, and to make it possible for people who are not interested in or not good at digital technology to feel the "gentle digitalization."
As for the shapes of the illustrations and icons, I tried to make them easy to understand at a glance by using large curved lines to soften the impression and by packing multiple elements into a single icon to avoid complexity. I also tried to give the impression that I could do it myself.
