This is the personal portfolio website of Korean artist Samson. He has designed various graphics, illustrations, UI/UX, and collaborated with companies such as Naver and Samsung.

The artistic expression mixed with sarcastic criticism is impressive. See more and sources

This is a book by Mr. Choi Jeong-ho, who can be considered the originator of modern Korean fonts. Starting with the Dong-A Ilbo font, he participated in the creation of Korean fonts for Morisawa and Shaken in Japan, and the Gothic (Dotum) and Myeongjo (Batang) fonts that we know today were created. The book is a collection of six articles serialized in the design magazine <Kkumim> through his relationship with Mr. Ahn Sang-soo.
