Sewoon Made

MTO designed the exhibition booth for ‘Sewoon Made’ at the 2022 Living Design Fair. The program combines manufacturing in the Sewoon–Cheonggyecheon–Euljiro area with designers’ ideas to develop products. Under the concept of an ‘infinite production base,’ conveyor belts formed display systems, while cobalt blue and neon green expressed next-generation urban industry. Typography based on ‘collaboration,’ “tech,’ and ‘electronics’ was applied to bags, hoodies, and printed materials.

2025 Text, Typography, Books: Connecting the Dots

This exhibition features books by 11 friends from the D-hak design community, concluding a year of learning. The “dots” signify each individual and the traces of our studies. Up close, it is just a single mark, but accumulated, they build something greater. We visualized this by hand-stamping uniquely shaped circles, mirroring our diverse identities. A solitary dot holds little meaning, but gathered, they form a unified letterform, transforming into a vibrant, collective impression.

Patchwork Creative

This is the key visual for Patchwork Creative, a festival held in Baedari Village, a secondhand bookstore district in Dong-incheon. The concept departs from the keyword “autonomous editing.” Rather than offering fixed answers, it highlights Patchwork’s experimental spirit of finding one’s own answers through questions, respecting local assets while reinterpreting them through a distinctive lens. The Baedari neighborhood is deconstructed in three ways and reconstructed as visual elements through

Cultural City Yeongdeungpo

MTO designed the brand identity for ‘Cultural City Yeongdeungpo’, a program running from 2022 to 2026. Based on research and a cultural branding strategy that reexamines the district beyond individual projects, the identity adopts a label concept rather than a conventional logo. The label is applied across all initiatives led by the center and attached to diverse content, marking and communicating Yeongdeungpo’s culture.

Gentle Monster

The main picture was taken in the heart of Seoul. As in some of my previous works, this is a collage of different analog photos I took, reinterpreted to capture the energy of this vibrant, beautiful city. At the center of attention, I placed a cat I encountered during the trip to symbolize my journey as a gentle observer. Gamsahamnida, Seoul, for all these beautiful memories.

Daylight Collection

Seoul-based designer Jung Hyun-ju explores diverse fields through graphic design.
She is currently researching Hangul lettering based on “hyukpil,” a traditional Korean calligraphic style.
She is currently publishing the “Daylight Collection” series, which documents daily life through visual language.

Namdo Film Festival

MTO designed the graphic identity, promotional materials, and festival space for ‘Namdo Film Festival Season 2 in Gwangyang’, a traveling festival held across regions. A modular Hangul pattern creates a puzzle-like visual rhythm, while a variable title system adapts across media. Extending Season 1, the poster features a container cinema symbolizing the city of light and steel, with blue contrasts and layered typography expressing experimentation and locality.

3670, for 100 Films 100 Posters

We designed a movie poster for 3670, participating in the exhibition 100 Films 100 Posters, The 26th JEONJU International Film Festival. We highlighted how society makes us lonely, but we keep looking for relationships that are for relationships so close, yet so far.

Typo-Heterochronia: Seoul-Atlanta

In contemporary design, designers have practiced variable and transformative typographies exploring interconnected and hybrid systems. Such phenomena have also created type-driven landscapes where graphic designers have reflected on their multicultural, multi/ translingual, and liquid identities. Typo-Heterochronia: Seoul-Atlanta is designed to imagine a space-time where writing systems and typographic identities, Hangul (Korean) and English, intersect to respond to those design practices.
