Best Book Designs From All Over The World

Best Book Designs From All Over The World 2021.05.03 We have recently chosen the “Best Book Designs in Korea.” As each book is beautiful in its own way, it is meaningless to line them up based on a fixed standard. However, selecting books that have best represented the beauty of the generation breathes life into it and makes it meaningful once again. In order to choose the best book designs, we put our heads together to select the right judges. We received opinions from various fields and invited five judges among them, who were Moon Janghyun, Park Yeounjoo, Park Hwalsung, Jin Dallae, and Choi Sulki. We posted an announcement about the contest and received submissions. We also asked those who made the books recommended by the reviewers from various fields to submit their books. Ten books made it to the final, and each of the judges gave a precious, carefully written commentary to all the winners.The chosen books from this year’s fair will go to L...

The best examples are the automobile component street in Namsan, famous for its street motor show, glasses street which is one of the top 3 glasses production sites in the world, and the jewelry street where around 200 jewelry shops are lined up. And if you walk down the 100-year-old Hyangsoo road around Namsan, you will come across “Daegu Printing Street,” which shows the history and friendliness of the printing culture and gives the city its r...
