http://www.designmuseum.ucdavis.edu/web_banner.jpgCurrently, in the Design Museum at UC Davis there is an exhibition called “typographic exploration in hangul.” It relates to design in our society specifically the Korean society. The designers of the exhibition use typography with the native script of Korea, known as Hangul.
These designs are bright and colorful and even though they are in a native language the art still communicates to you. Each design in the museum is created a specific way for a specific meaning. They convey emotions and thoughts that inspire the viewer to think and feel. They show Korean letters acting out what the piece is trying to communicate. For example, one design shows letters arranged in colorful circles representing a traditional Korean dance that is performed by women and children dancing in circles wearing colorful clothing. Another design encourages the viewer the stand up which is represented by some Hangul letters standing up next to other letters that are lying down. These two designs and the many others speak through their design. The arrangement of the letters, the colors, the added pictures, and the letters of Hangul themselves all contribute to what the design is trying to say. Therefore, this exhibition specifically relates to how design can speak to us literally.
