HYUNJOON YOO: ARCHI-CULTURE

Branding / Typography / Visual Identity



Project Summary

This fictional branding project was created for a typography class at The City College of New York. The brief was to choose an architect and design a lecture series around their work. I selected Hyunjoon Yoo, a Korean architect known for blending simplicity with precision.


Objective

To build a visual identity that merges architectural logic with graphic design, making an unfamiliar name feel structured, intentional, and recognizable.

Approach


  • Built a typographic logo using construction-style grid lines, curves, and measurement symbols
  • Used Yoo’s architectural works as minimal illustrations to reflect his design language
  • Created a consistent brand system across posters, leaflets, ID cards, and lanyards
  • Chose light gray and red as primary colors to convey clarity and cohesion

Role

Concept development, typography, layout design, brand system creation, mockups
