Challenge
Working within a public institution meant working within strict design guidelines rather than personal creative latitude. Illustrated faces were off-limits. Typography had to be precisely adjusted across two languages, English and Korean, each with its own rhythm and visual weight. Every piece of provided text had to be reproduced with complete accuracy — no room for the small liberties that often creep into design work, given the formal, official context.
Solution
I designed posters and adapted them for SNS feed formats, resizing and reworking each layout to hold up across different platforms without losing clarity. Instructional graphics were built alongside this work, requiring close collaboration with the organisation to make sure the content stayed accurate and on-brand throughout.
The work didn't stop at the screen. I managed the process through to print and cutting, taking the designs from file to physical, public-facing material ready for actual use — posters, banners, and digital assets that all needed to align with the Consulate's brand and organisational guidelines at every step.
Impact
Seeing the work go live was its own kind of validation — my design appeared on the Consulate's Instagram feed, and the printed banner stayed on display at the site for months afterward. Spotting it still standing, long after the project wrapped, was a quiet but real confirmation that the work held up outside the studio.
There's a particular kind of fulfilment in seeing a design exist in the world rather than just in a file — it made the constraints, the precision, and the effort feel entirely worthwhile.
