DESIGN NAME: Viewing Korean History
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brand Identity
INSPIRATION: Although history can be a difficult subject, it can be made more interesting for them if done right. The cover design expresses the perspective of viewing history to show that studying history can be made easier. For middle school, the two textbooks were configured with the same layout to depict the experience of feeling history in a relaxing way. The cover design of the high school textbook aims to deliver an image of the modern student being connected to different eras in the same space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: There are 3 history textbooks, while the concept cover images for middle and high school textbooks is meeting history. The simple diamond-shaped graphic and font in the center express the subject name, keeping the history textbooks’ identity consistent.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As many textbooks compete in the market in Korea, a differentiated cover design is a key element to win the competition. Concepts and images that cater to students, in addition to the unique identity strategy for history textbooks, allowed us to differentiate our product from others. More than anything, high user satisfaction is the value sought by Visang history textbooks.
CHALLENGE: Without images of historical artifacts on the cover, users are not easily reminded of the subject content. For this reason, many history textbooks have ended up with similar cover designs. The key task was to implement an idea that differed from the norm, and through much effort the History Viewed by Us concept was created. As a result, Visang history textbooks were able to differentiate themselves and gain much support from students.
