Hi Yong Joon,

For some reason, I wasn't able to open your images through your e-mail and I am glad to see your work on the Blog. I see two different directions: one—more abstract b/w lines, very attractive visually, but I am not sure if I can read easily your concept. I guess, "pain"??? What is your concept, could you please explain? Second one is more clear in terms of communication: my reading of it is this —Innocent children is the price for a broken love story, symbolized by the negative form of a heart. Clever. Simple, readable, but stylistically is not there yet. I like your move from the Blockbuster thriller with "corner oriented" big type to a more appropriate to the time layout and an image within the circular frame. I think, in order to be more clear stylistically, I would use the real images from the Greek vases to arrange them exatly how you arranges yours, so the heart wouldn't be screaming immediately, but hidden within the style of the Greek terracotta creations. Your frame would be not so "computery", and your white type wouldn't be there. Check hoe they used typography on the vases. I think, that your other version of typography, but not distorted, would be more appropriate. You might consider following the shape of the cirle.

Great job! By the way, look at the Facebook SVA GDAD, ther is your poster The Fever"!
