PLANET SPOILIA

This poster was designed for the 2025 special program of the Daegu Independent Short Film Festival. The film title “PLANET SPOILIA” is arranged up and bottom, main graphics putted to center. The design features abstract graphics that reflect the film’s theme, primarily utilizing line-based elements.

VOICE OF EULJIRO

Euljiro in Seoul, South Korea, has long faced issues of redevelopment and gentrification. This work is a graphic design contribution to the 2021 archiving project by Listen to the City, a group advocating awareness of these urban issues. While many activists address such topics, collaboration with graphic designers can enhance communication and make these issues more accessible and impactful.

SEIRE

This poster was designed for the 2020 special program of the Daegu Independent Short Film Festival. The title “SEIRE” is rendered in both Korean and Roman lettering, inspired by the visual language of traditional talismans. Reflecting the film’s theme—centered on events involving the dead—I chose the talisman as a symbolic object to represent the unseen spiritual world.

DANCE TECH

This poster was designed for a performance by the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company, titled “Dance × Technology.” The design integrates flexible and fluid lettering with imagery and symbolic elements that represent movement. These layered components visually express the dynamic interaction between dance and technology. The work was created for a performance held in 2022 at the Sejong Center S-Theater.

mcbw 2026: Playground of Possibilities

munich creative business week (mcbw), Germany’s largest design event, returns from May 4–10, 2026. Organized by bayern design, it brings together an international community of creatives, designers, architects, companies, and students for a week of inspiration, exchange, and collaboration.

Taking place for the 15th time, mcbw invites you to rediscover the world of design under the annual theme Playground of Possibilities. The motto positions design as a driver for innovation, experimentation, and new ways of thinking—especially in times of uncertainty, where creativity becomes a key tool for shaping the future.

Guided by four principles—Empowering the Creative Self, Exploring the Creative Field, Turning Ideas into Action, and Creating Visions that Enrich—the program spans the full creative process, from first ideas to impactful solutions. Over seven days, Munich transforms into a vibrant platform with 200+ events, including exhibitions, installations, talks, workshops, and guided tours across a wide spectrum of creative disciplines.

The event attracts over 65,000 visitors from more than 17 nations, featuring 200+ events and 8 large-scale installations across the city. More than 200 partners contribute to making mcbw a hub for ideas, dialogue, and networking.

This year’s motto speaks to our times: amid complexity and uncertainty, design offers the chance to experiment, imagine, and shape the future. It is precisely this uncertainty that opens space for creativity, for playful, sensuous, and relevant solutions.

A key highlight is the mcbw Design Summit and Get Together on May 4, 2026, at Munich Urban CoLab, featuring international speakers and interdisciplinary perspectives on the annual theme. mcbw is open to all creative minds—from professionals to start-ups and students—and offers opportunities for active participation, including wildcard spots for outstanding ideas.

mcbw is organized by bayern design GmbH and sponsored by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy, as well as the City of Munich.

Olive Young N Seongsu

The brand identity for Olive Young N Seongsu, an innovative flagship store completed in 2024, reflects an experiential space beyond health and beauty. Built on the concept of “N”—representing New, Next, Nest, Network and &—the identity expresses potential through a dynamic graphic system of “N” forms. Olive Young’s signature ellipse is reinterpreted as a portal where content flows. A color system centered on deep green, with pink, yellow, and light blue, creates a refined yet vibrant impression.

meaning and form

This work explores typography as a structure in which meaning and form define one another. Fragmented words and repeated dots construct a visual rhythm where meaning emerges through form, and form is completed through meaning. Rather than treating letters as fixed signs, the work presents typography as a process of connection, perception, and becoming.

All Legs and Wings, Strange Sandy Eyes

Jioong Kang has worked on altering the physicality of photographs by utilizing various materials and environments, layering temporality onto images to detach the subject from its narrative. Based on a series of images and texts surrounding his works, designer Daebong Jung created a kind of dummy book, which, by undergoing the same process of distortion as Kang’s works, not only functions as a catalog for the two exhibitions but also acquires the status of a work of art in its own right.

Cheil Health Science

The package design system for Cheil Health Science’s oriental medicine line establishes a visual language that is intuitive and rooted in oriental aesthetics. Based on yin and yang, a two-part layout organizes information and category cues into distinct sections. Vertical typography, a medium-saturation color system, and refined line-based iconography form a cohesive identity. This system allows consumers to recognize product functions while maintaining a balanced visual tone.

29CM SEONGSU

’29CM SEONGSU’ offers an intuitive experience of curated brands, embodying 29CM’s evolving identity. CFC translated its philosophy into a physical space reflecting Seongsu, Seoul. The identity is built on the coexistence of the ‘unchanging’ and the ‘changing’: a fixed line system, inspired by centimeters, forms the stable core, while flexible content expands within it. This structured yet adaptable graphic language captures 29CM’s essence—kind yet whimsical.

Bárur

Bárur is a wavy display serif defined by rhythm, softness and flow. The typeface embraces movement as its core principle, echoing ocean waves and natural cycles. Its name, taken from Old Norse for “waves”, captures both its visual language and emotional tone.

The typeface strikes a compelling balance between clarity and expressiveness. Its rounded, subtly sculpted serifs guide the eye smoothly across uppercase letterforms, creating an organic and almost kinetic reading experience. While Bárur references historical serif traditions, it deliberately avoids decorative excess. Instead, it leans toward a cleaner, more geometric construction that situates it firmly in a contemporary context.

Flexibility is built into the system: select characters come with optional serif-less alternates, allowing designers to modulate texture and rhythm within a layout. In addition, the typeface includes 39 ligatures, a full set of numerals, punctuation, and multilingual Latin support—offering a surprising range for a display-focused family.

Currently available in Light and Regular weights, with a Bold style in development, Bárur is released as an early-access typeface and will continue to evolve through free updates. Its strengths shine most clearly in large-scale applications such as logos, branding systems, packaging, editorial headlines and posters. Anywhere a typographic voice with movement and presence is required.

Heirei

The brand identity for Heirei, a premium paint brand developed with Samhwa Paints, translates the act of painting into a visual language.

This contrast, along with the repetition of “ei” and the flexible form of “hr”, creates a tone that feels playful yet refined. Extending from the sculptural logotype, the system reflects a free-spirited lifestyle.
