Calligraphy as Art and Design

I was in awe of Gottfried Pott’s and Guldela’s portfolios. Their work was so beautiful. I never really considered calligraphy to be part of graphic design before, but now that I understand the evolution of typography – from calligraphy, to traditionally printed type, to the digital type we use today – I can see how it fits into graphic design. I would love to work with Gottfried Pott and/or Guldela and bring them Korean letterforms to see how they would interpret them in an east-meets-west type project. As a Korean-American adoptee, my multicultural heritage influences my work as a designer and artist, and I’m always looking for ways to incorporate my multicultural heritage into my work. I think experimenting with Korean letterforms and calligraphy would be a really cool way to do this, and this experience has inspired me to pursue it.
