Typo-Image: Text is Always Part of Other Texts; There is Never Pure Text

Albert Young Choi developed a methodology called 'Typo-Image,' which combines typography and imagery under the principle that "text is always part of different texts and never exists as pure text." Through the 'Typo-Image' approach, students learn about and explore 'Deconstruction,' a form of analytical critique introduced by Jacques Derrida, a prominent French philosopher of the 20th century. This process involves breaking down and revealing the underlying meanings, biases, and assumptions that shape how a text relates to what it describes.

One significant aspect of typography is its ability to convey diverse meanings. Designers recognize that typography's purpose is often inconsistent and ever-changing, much like the fluidity of letterforms and negative spaces. Image-like typography (Typo-Image) is particularly referential, especially when visuals engage with creativity and re-appropriation. In our increasingly communication-driven society, it is more important than ever to understand that typography holds immense potential for meaning and interpretation.

This presentation occurred at TypeCon 2021, a virtual event held from October 21st to 24th, 2021.

The street address reorganization in South Korea,

The street address reorganization in South Korea, initiated in 2007 and primarily implemented by 2008, marked a significant milestone in modernizing the country's wayfinding systems and aligning them with global standards. Dr. Albert Young Choi, a prominent academic and practitioner in design, played a pivotal role in this transformation. Through his work, he addressed the visual pollution caused by inconsistent and cluttered address systems that had plagued South Korea for over a century.

Dr. Choi's research focused on creating a standardized design for street names and building number signs, ensuring clarity and usability. His system emphasized reducing wayfinding time, urban congestion, and logistics inefficiencies while promoting aesthetic harmony. These improvements not only streamlined navigation for residents and visitors but also underscored the practical benefits of design in urban planning.

Furthermore, Dr. Choi integrated elements of Korean cultural aesthetics into his designs, reflecting the country’s unique heritage and identity. His designs balanced functionality and artistic expression by embedding "Korean beauty and sensibility" into the visual framework. This approach enhanced the practical utility of the signs and contributed to Korea’s national branding efforts, fostering a distinctive visual identity.

The success of this initiative has had a lasting impact on South Korea’s urban environments. Beyond improving day-to-day navigation, the design overhaul served as a case study of how thoughtful design interventions can address practical issues while simultaneously enhancing a nation’s cultural and aesthetic presence on the global stage. Dr. Choi’s contributions continue to be celebrated as a blend of strategic thinking and cultural artistry, providing a model for other nations facing similar challenges.

Sotbab is a delightful dish that involves cooking rice in a specially designed metal rice pot and adding different toppings. I had the pleasure of choosing deunjang and grilled salmon to top off my rice. As I savored the dish slowly, I discovered new and exciting flavors. It was truly a pleasing experience that left me feeling satisfied and content. I hope you get the chance to taste it sometime!

Congratulations to all the award winners for the SSL competition held by UDA. Signs use visual elements to convey ideas, while systems bring together multiple ideas into a cohesive family. Letterform Marks combine different types to represent a specific concept. A graphic designer manipulates and perfects the visual form to ensure clear understanding.

Today, I changed the batteries in my watches but unfortunately, I ended up breaking one of them. This incident served as a reminder that both materials and humans have a limited lifespan. However, the power of kindness and love endures beyond that. As an artist and designer, my hope is that my work will withstand the test of time and make a positive impact on both people and culture.

For dinner tonight, I ordered delivery from my favorite Japanese restaurant. South Korea's food delivery system is excellent, and even the best restaurants deliver food in good condition. Raw tuna is a delicacy that pairs well with a single malt whiskey from Ireland.
