Viewing History Brand Identity

Viewing History

Viewing Korean History is a cover design series for three history textbooks. The covers were created for middle school and high school students. A simple diamond-shaped graphic and typography at the center present the subject name and keep the identity of the series consistent. The two middle school books share the same layout. The high school cover shows the modern student connected to different eras within one space. Stickers and epoxy match the background color, and a no-scratch coating limits wear during use.

Text of Cycle is a typeface design that explores the relationship between people and artificial intelligence.

The result reflects the cycle of language and knowledge.
