It would be ideal for a photobook to release photos and images like fish in the river. The most difficult part of my book design is the photobook. Each photobook was an event for me.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Chung Byoung-kyoo \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eChung Byoung-kyoo Photobook Design is a project that compiled 31 photobooks designed  by the first-generation Korean book designer Chung Byoung-kyoo from the 1980s to the early 2010s. The book, which is the first book by Chung Byoung-kyoo, traces Chung's words and thoughts on design through the medium photobook. For Chung, the 'photobook' was the core of his book design, and was a medium that allowed him to demonstrate his overall capabilities as a book designer. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOther than that, Chung Byoung-kyoo Photobook Design itself is a historiographical trial in terms of the history of Korean book design. The book clearly shows how an individual in the early 1980s adopted the term ‘book design’ for the first time in Korea and paved the way for it for more than a half a century by negotiating with the constraints of the times. Being more than a usual  ‘monograph’, the book outlines the process of publication design moving from the time of movable type to the time of phototypesetting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA unique companion to modern Korean visual culture through book design, Chung Byoung-kyoo Photobook Design is a must-have for any photobook aficionados.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePublished by Aprilsnow Press\u003cbr\u003eFirst Edition of 1000\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e508 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e165 x 234 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9791189478063 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aprilsnow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658653323595,"sku":"PDCBK01","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/ChungByoung-kyooPhotobookDesign01.png?v=1692376968","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/chung-byoung-kyoo-photobook-design","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
