Introduction

Corners Studio is a Seoul based office for graphic design of Daewoong Kim and Hyojoon Jo founded in 2012. Our practice focuses primarily on creative direction and visual communication strategies through typography, conceptual and content-related approaches. Our work includes formats such as prints, posters, publications, exhibitions, signage, marketing materials, websites and visual identities. We have produced works for artists, designers, cultural institutions, and brands.

We have a particular interest in how ideas turn into physical objects. Alongside the graphic design practice Corners Studio run a risograph printing workshop, Corners Printing, for self-learning and self-experiment, and also for collaborating with friends and other people.

Daewoong Kim and Hyojoon Jo graduated at Hongik University and Central Saint Martins respectively. We have lectured, talked and delivered workshops in Stavanger, Bangkok, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Glasgow, Osaka, Bergen, Gwacheon, Maastricht, Jeju, and Seoul.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for commissions, collaboration requests or saying hello.

코우너스 스튜디오는 그래픽 디자이너 김대웅과 조효준이 설립한 디자인 스튜디오입니다. 2012년부터 출판 / 인쇄물, 디지털 이미지, 웹사이트, 전시 그래픽과 사이니지 등의 그래픽 디자인 서비스를 제공하고 있으며, 전시, 상품 기획 및 리서치를 기반으로 한 출판물 기획 등 자기 주도 작업을 병행하고 있습니다.

우리는 아이디어를 실제 사용할 수 있는 무엇으로 치환하는 것에 관해 관심이 있습니다. 이를 바탕으로 그래픽 디자인 활동과 함께 리소 인쇄 워크숍인 을 운영하며 친구들이나 다른 작업자들과 협업을 진행하고 있습니다.

김대웅과 조효준은 홍익대학교와 센트럴 세인트 마틴스를 졸업했고, 과천, 글래스고, 로스엔젤레스, 마스트리흐트, 방콕, 베르겐, 상하이, 서울, 스타방에르, 오사카, 제주에서 토크, 렉처, 워크숍을 진행했습니다.
