This project is an exhibition identity design project for the first exhibition promotion for the design group ‘How is it going’ organized by 10 young designers in Korea in 2005. The exhibition identity was designed under the motive of the guidance sign graphics usually found at the maintenance and repair sites of the roads in Korea and the posters and flyers based on these were designed in such a way as to serve as the guide map for guidance of the actual exhibition.
