Overview

A research-driven editorial brochure profiling Cho Gi-Seok, a Seoul-based photographer, artist, and fashion designer known for his surrealist imagery and his label, KUSIKOHC. The piece traces his early life, creative philosophy, and visual language, drawing together interviews, feature coverage, and his own published work into a single reference piece.

The layout borrows directly from Cho's own visual world: a stark red-and-black palette, ornate photographic pairings, and bold italic type, letting the subject's aesthetic carry the design rather than impose a separate one.
