GNU LOGO DESIGN

Gyeongsang National University(GNU) is planning to builld a new building.
They will use this new building as a museum and library for the students and visiors.

I was asked to create logos for their new library and museum and some graphic signs as well!
Here are my work :-) I used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for this project!
I will post up the rough sketches as well !

Editorial Design-Robot Museum Seoul, South Korea

This was my first project for my internship in Korea!

The Robot Museum that I worked for did not have a pamplet for foreign visitors!

I redesined the korean version of pamplet to English version for the Robot Museum that is located in Seoul, South Korea.

I worked with Adobe Illustrator for this project! I traslated all the information on pamplet to English as well!

It looks really differnt when you see the physical pamplet! The gray spot on the pamplet turned

to silver bacuse of the new layer of coating! I will post the picture of final pamplet soon! :-)

Pufferbelly Depot Apative-reuse Design

Final Boards:

Final Depot Model:

For the final sophomore project, I was asked to remodel the Pufferbelly depot that is currently located in Pullman, Washington. The project was remodeling the depot to a place that has gallery, studio, and residence for the certain artist that I chose. I designed for the casting glass artist, Henry Hillman Jr. who currently living in Portland, Oregon.
He requested me to create a gallery that the entire space is an art piece rather than a functional space for art. For the dramatic view, I added the second floor that has glass walls for his office. The general color schemes are from my concept model which was shades of orange and deep blue. The removed beams from the gallery are reused in the residence to keep some of historical aspects.
Compare to previous projects, my rendering skill improved because I made sure I have enough time to render all the perspective drawings. I am more confident to make model than I was before due to practice. Before I made the final model, I had three practice models with a roof. I noticed that adding more details like landscape, definitely attract the client.
The overall layout of the board was good. However, the layout of the materials take too much space on the board and made the overall board composition look busy. For the next project, I am planning to make separate material boards so, I would be able to emphasize my perspective renderings by itself and give a chance to client to feel the materials while I am presenting.

Poster

This is the church poster that I made for coming praise night!
I found pictures on the Internet, and put together in Adobe Photoshop.
The theme is 'salvation', which I interpreted by using the image of reaching hand.
For the visual interest, I added textured paper as a background!

Field Tirp to "Renaissance Fine Woodworking"

For the short field trip, Interior design students visited the 'Renaissance Fine Woodworking'. This firm is owned by Paul and Tom and they do custom-made furniture, cabinetry, and remodeling. I learned the ideal work ethics along with some design tips. Dealing with the clients can be serious work when money is involved. However, in this situation, it is important to enjoy the design process as well as working with other workers. Also, it is important to build good relationship with clients and workers because this is how you mostly get second opportunity.
Mainly, the designer is responsible for knowing the specific values that the client has in order to inform the builders and reduce the mistakes. Tom said, one time he talked with a client for several hours to find out her personal preference. The client appreciated this because it showed great attention to client and the project that he is working on. When you remodel space, it is important to think about plumbing and electricity ahead of time so, it would save more budgets.

3-D Concept Model

Inspired by the bench in train depot's masculine aspects with unexpected famine details created my 3D concept model. To emphasize the masculines, I used thin sheet of metal. I also used leather to represent femininity.The regional artist, 'Henry Hillman ,Jr.' was also the inspiration for my model.He does glass sculpture and entire of his glass collection has strong angular form however, he adds unexpected details and colors inside of the glass. By applying this in my model, I attached curved metal detail in inner part of my model as a representation of unexpected detail. The color scheme is from my textile design.

Key words for concept Model
:Famine, Masculine, connection, simplicity

famine and masculine aspects due to use of different materials )

Textile design

I submitted my pattern design to 'spoon flower', and this company printed out my textile design on linen-cotton fabric. I wish I would have been change the size of the pattern module. The color was different than what I expected. For future design work, I will order the sample fabirc first then, make my final decision on it.

Modules to Pattern

Module #1

Terad color scheme (Top Left)/ Analogous color scheme (Top Right)

Module#2
