Participation in the Big River Poster Festival hosted in Korea. Poster based on the song “Fun World” by Lee Jae-hyuk released in 1994.
Indications of the Existence or Passing of Something Along a Certain Course
A publication examining text–image relations through the collection of habits. Selected words are replaced with their dictionary definitions and recomposed, transforming ordinary language into directional traces. Arrows—redrawn from scientific diagrams—appear as records of these habits, and the poster compiles these arrows from the publication. The title applies the same substitution method.
You, Me, and Our Song
The designer created a poster functioning as a lyric sheet for an event where foreign residents come together to sing songs from their home countries. The title forms an intersection, marking cultural overlap within the gathering. The poster is designed to function as a songbook, with typography that supports shared reading and interaction, thereby transforming it into a participatory script.
Fragments of What I Hid
This is an archival graphic work based on fragments of memory: my father’s cigarettes, the first piano given by my grandmother, and objects I once hid inside it. These childhood traces are reconstructed as visual residues, where memory exists as fragmented, sensory imprints.
BRAINACHE
Albert Che runs the silkscreen studio Miniprint in Seoul, Korea. His work is based on 3D-printed toys set against screen-printed backgrounds, with plastic casings produced in-studio using molds and vacuum forming.
He seeks to carry the sense of joy he experienced while playing with toys as a child into adulthood—creating objects that resemble toys, yet are not toys in the usual sense.
These works are “toys for adults,” but ones that cannot be played with—objects that embody a deliberate contra
Velocity
Velocity is an all-caps display sans-serif that immediately grabs attention. The letters sit tightly horizontally but remain clear and airy. The result is a compact typeface that shows its full energy when set large. Its dynamic curves convey forward momentum, making Velocity a strong choice for branding, editorial design, and contemporary projects.
The font comes with 12 stylistic sets, including three different diacritic styles. This makes Velocity flexible enough to adapt to various layouts and language requirements. It is available in seven duplexed weights from Thin to ExtraBold. Switching between weights is seamless, maintaining perfect proportions throughout.

SOULSCAPE
The artist applies tube paint directly to the canvas, creating unique textures through overlapping colors. Inspired by this materiality, the visual identity extracts specific colors to form a distinct new image. A black background maximizes the vividness. This concept extends to the catalog: artworks are displayed on solid black pages, while text is bound in a separate accent-colored booklet, physically separating the visual appreciation and informational reading experiences.
PROJECT : The Drawing
This university project unites automotive engineering students and artists to explore mechanical structures through drawing, culminating in an annual exhibition. The main identity, “The Drawing,” features custom lettering inspired by mechanical blueprints. This core typographic system remains consistent every year, with only the primary color changing. This design strategy ensures project continuity while delivering a fresh visual mood for each new edition.
The Drawing
As an installation artist and engineer, the artist meticulously documents the entire process, from drawings and blueprints to fabrication and installation. This project dedicates 16 pages per artwork to densely capture every stage of the process. This documentation method will continue as an ongoing series, with the ultimate goal of compiling the accumulated archives into a single, comprehensive volume.
Gyenggi Artist Highlights 2024
Gyeonggi Artist Highlights 2024 focuses on two artists. The identity uses their names as core elements, deconstructing letters and integrating symbolic motifs to achieve visual balance. The catalog features a symmetrical, two-way structure, ensuring equal weight for both artists and an immersive reading experience from either side.

The Spark of Evolution
The Spark of Evolution by Kim Jin-woo commemorates Korea’s last match factory. The artist symbolically colored the factory space yellow and installed “match trees” growing within it. This yellow serves as the core of the exhibition’s identity. The catalog sequentially documents the artist’s process, capturing the passion and philosophical depth of the project.

Bon Voyage!
Kim Sunwoo explores the concept of a journey through the dodo bird, symbolizing human dreams in diverse environments. This book transcends a typical catalog, functioning as a physical world where the dodo roams freely. Reflecting a journey’s structure of departure and return, the design makes turning pages a joyful voyage in itself.

The Neue Trans-Aesthetics Manifesto
The Neue Trans-Aesthetics Manifesto proposes a new aesthetic in response to AI-driven visual culture. As boundaries between reality and simulation blur, it calls for human-centred creation grounded in self-reflection, empathy, and personal expression. Embracing unpredictability and technology, it redefines the role of visual creators and affirms the unique value of human perception.
