Korean immigrant book cover design
The main story line discusses the unfair double standards affecting women in Korea and around the world. I used that as the basis of my design. I loved the idea of conveying the difference between traditionalism and modernism. I gave an original spin to the cover by using the reflection of a Korean female model in two totally different instances. The top image was of the woman dressed in a traditional costume while the bottom part was the reversed version of her wearing modern western clothes. I used the title of the book to help the two instances interact naturally. In the end, I created an organic flow of the full jacket by using a subtle magnolia branch—the national flower of South Korea. The overall effect was a very creative, inspirational and emotional design that reflected the subject of the matter perfectly.
About Me
I am a passionate, self-taught graphic designer focused on creating out-of-the-box designs. I am grateful for my vivid imagination, as well as my ability to perceive words through images, compositions, and colors. I have a versatile style, being able to create both minimalistic and rich designs, depending on what my clients need. I do use stock images in my designs, but I rarely use them as-is. Most times, I combine different elements and images in order to create an original scene. My favorite tools are Photoshop, InDesign, and a Wacom Tablet. I have very strong work ethics, based on integrity, hard work, and respect. My ultimate goal is to learn as much as possible, and to make people happy through my art!
