Klis

In the world of graphic design Poland is known for Polish School of Posters active in 1950s-1980s with expressive solutions based mainly on illustration. In the last years we finally started discovering the unknown heritage in logo design and typography with great masters such as Karol Śliwka, Ryszard Bojar and many more.

Though this is about illustration, I think there is a tendency to prefer narrative and explanatory elements over visual (graphical ) interest. (But maybe things have changed a bit recently?)

HyoJun

Shim

It's not unique to Korea; a one-sided relationship has no future, so please work with people who respect and acknowledge each other's value.
