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.

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.

Poland's design culture is deeply rooted in its rich history and traditions, blending modern aesthetics with folk art. One aspect that people from other countries might not know is the strong influence of Polish Poster Art, which emerged in the mid-20th century and is characterized by its unique combination of simplicity, bold colors, and surreal elements. Additionally, Polish designers often draw inspiration from the country's turbulent history and diverse architecture, creating works that are both innovative and reflective of Poland's cultural heritage.

As someone who studied design at a university in Korea, I’ve observed that there are a vast number of design schools in the country. Considering Korea's population size, the number of design graduates is quite substantial. I find this to be an interesting fact when it comes to understanding the Korean design scene.
