RESEARCH ABSTRACT: For this project, reviewed the entire book and discussed about the way to visualize material, and combined with numerous Korean typography for design with higher quality. The design that was completed through this process was adopted among many textbooks for its excellence and is being used in many schools. In particular, middle school math and science achieved No.1 nationwide adoption rate, raising brand value.
CHALLENGE: Textbook designs should satisfy the author, students and teachers as well. Since the age group varies widely, the designed may not be welcomed by one side if preferred by another side. Considering this fact during design development and developing material through sufficient verification, support from conservative author and editor was gained, and the design was completed with story and graphics that suits user’s taste.
