The poster was aimed to attract high school students to attend the University of Minnesota Design Institute and Target Co. Design Camp. “Extreme mouse labor but fun,” says Kang of the experience.


Figure 3a. An exhibition at a lower west side gallery operated by SVA in Manhattan. PORTFOLIO* was a 2,600 square foot, 3-year retrospective of Sahre's portfolio class at SVA. Assistant curators (and former students) included Lindsay Ballant, Jennifer Lew, Abigail Smith, Joon Mo Kang, and Brian Ponto.

Joon Mo Kang sees graphic design as a synthesis of his equal but divergent interests in art and science. Before enrolling at SVA he studied fine art and illustration and also worked as a computer technician, with the intention of becoming a scientist.
