The UC Davis Design Museum Presents:
TYPOGRAPHIC EXPLORATION IN HANGUL
An exhibition of work by Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo
On view at the UC Davis Design Museum
October 4 – December 6, 2009
Guided tour with the designer and the curator
Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 1 p.m. at the Design Museum, 145 Walker Hall, UC Davis
–
This exhibition presents typographic explorations in Hungul by two Korean Designers, Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo, and is curated by UC Davis Design Professor Mihyun Kang.
The designer’s typographic roots began with Hangul, the native script of Korea that was created in the mid-fifteenth century. The two-dimensional works introduce the form, pattern and emotion of Hangul typography as an expressive medium. The exploration and manipulation of Hangul characters offers a contemporary glimpse into Korean life and culture.
Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo were born and raised in Korea and then went on to pursue their graduate education in very different cultures. Lee studied visual communication in Japan receiving her MFA from Tama Art University in Japan and her PhD from Tokyo National University of Music & Fine Arts. She is currently an Associate Professor of Human Environment and Design at Yonsei University in Korea. Choo earned his MFA in graphic design from Iowa State University and is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Oklahoma State University.

Sunday: 2 – 4 p.m.

:: A D A C event … “By Hand & by Cam” Speakers: David Danz & Jayson Carpenter
September 2nd, 2009
Open to both members and non-members.
Free for members, but $5 for non-members and $3 for student non-members.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm
AIA Central Valley building, 1400 S Street, Sacramento
Come join us and find out what some of our best local creatives are doing! David Danz, an illustrator of exceptional talent, and Jayson Carpenter, a photographer capturing unique images from around the world, will discuss what it’s like to be a creative in today’s fast-paced and digital world.
David Danz has been working as a freelance illustrator for the past 24 years. A graduate of Art Center College of Design, David first began illustrating in wood and linocut prints before abandoning his carving tools for scrapers and x-acto blades to accommodate the faster and more forgiving medium of scratchboard. Today he works out of his Placerville home studio, creating a variety of woodcut and wood engraved looking illustrations utilized in packaging, advertising, and editorial publications. His clients include the NY TImes, Chevron Oil, Wells Fargo Bank, Del Monte Foods, Coors Brewing Company and more. http://www.daviddanz.com/
Jayson Carpenter is a photographer currently based in Sacramento, specializing in humanitarian, advertising, editorial, and travel photography. His images have graced the pages of numerous national publications including Hour Detroit, Sunset magazine, and Running world. Some of his advertising campaigns include, South lake Tahoe tourism, The California Five a day, Save Mart and Safe banks and the NBA Sacramento Kings. While commercal work pays the bills, working with NGO’s and Non Profits fuels the soul. After Four continents and over 20 countries later Jaysons sense of curiosity is still strong. In March of 2009 he returned from a fourteen-month journey thought much of Asia. There he worked on a book and shot for several non profits. Jayson will be sharing the fruits from his journeys. http://www.jaysoncarpenter.com/
