I think that Polish design is mainly associated with the Polish school of posters – and this is definitely superficial, because we had very good illustrators and an extremely interesting history of typography and the geopolitical changes that influenced its development.

Polish design consistently marks its presence on global markets, combining diferent perspectives that reflects the cultural context of Poland, while perfectly adapting to the expectations of customers from all over the world. Today polish design not only draws on its history and regional motifs, creatively reinterpreting patterns from the past, but also develops by embracing new values like: innovation, responsibility, resourcefulness, locality, and nostalgia.

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.

In Poland, design is still in the development phase and there is currently no one specific dominant style characteristic only of our country. Until recently, we were trying to design correctly, and now we are looking at how to design incorrectly.
