Production Technology: Special effect, silk epoxy, solid PANTONE color, etc. were used along with 3D graphics of characters to give the cover a 3 dimensional look and feel.
Design Challenge: In order to give students expectation and curiosity on the learning contents in the textbooks, a lot of thoughts were put in what the design could do. It was also important to think about what kind of graphics should be used to communicate as a bridge between students and teachers. Colors for different grades and subjects were studied and carefully planned. Finally, many printed samples for the cover were worked on to enhance the over all quality of the books.
Research: The research was done on the visual image that students like to come up with a cover and a new graphic design that’s easy and fun. This had to be something that students would be interested in and motivating to them to actively engage in their academics, and to establish such a goal, it must have been something that could be seen as cute, friendly, and modern. Finally, friendly animals with cushy feelings were characterized and used as graphic components. The design was completed by adding real life stories that are related to the learning contents. Research on application of the color code was also conducted in completing the project.
Inspiration: Making textbooks easier and more entertaining was the first approach of this project leading to a lot of thoughts and consideration. The design was planned in order to visualize and express the stories that are related to people's daily life with the contents to be learned. Cute 3D characters were created for this visualization and this added more entertainment factors to the book which is two dimensional.
Project Duration: The project stared in January 2021 in Seoul and finished in August 2021 in Seoul, and will be released in March 2022 to students from all over the country of Korea.
Operation Flow: 3 design keywords character, story, and color were used to communicate with students on the covers of elementary level textbooks. Each keyword’s role is as follows.
Familiar characters were created to materialize and realize the study contents that could be boring by maximizing the characteristics of each subject and using them to depict the real situation in life with proper space and visualization.
Stories never stop with unique and charming 3D characters adding small ideas and designs related to the study contents that are fun and interesting altogether.
Different colors were used for different subjects based on the learning time, characteristics, and characters used for each subject. The effect of colors was maximized by using solid color for backgrounds and special effect for the titles.
