Description

GQ Korea commissioned me to work on six pages for their Contents of the Year round up. The round up features various cultural moments ranging from Gen-Z of the Year (New Jeans, a South Korean girl group) to Word of the Year ("At Last," from the film "Decision to Leave"). For the layout, I was drawn to how Korean words can traditionally be written vertically. This inspired the idea of condensing these cultural moments into a shelf of tall and spine-like variety of illustrations and custom type treatments.
