Thesis/ Research project: Oct. 29th

Typeface

I decided to use this calligraphy font.
The name is 'a spring day.'


Button design

I tried to unite all button designs to one style with the texture and the font. Those are samples I remade.

Postcard design
This postcard is a promotional gift for people who buy the board game. I'm thinking to make about 10 postcards with Korean images and the postcards are mini sizes. People can see various looks of Korea and postcards can be used for short letters from Korean trip.

Those are samples i made.

Thesis/ Research project: Oct. 27th

Button design

This is my button design. All images feature Korea.
I'm still thinking fonts because I haven't decided it yet.


Those are examples using calligraphy in Korea.

by Kang, Byung-In

As I mentioned above, I haven't decided typeface.
But I'm thinking to go with this. This is the font from a Korean calligrapher of the above calligraphic designs.

#1 Research: logos using characteristic of countries



#2 Typeface
calligraphic feeling -> Blush fonts.

I found blush fonts... It's hard to decide. I like 5th and 3rd one from below personally.
The 2nd one from below looks pretty cute, too.
