At the time of the Ferry Sewol disaster on April 16, 2014, victims of the disaster were exposed to secondary damage without guaranteeing the rights of the victim and had to suffer severe trauma. The Victim Rights Manual, published by the 4.16 Foundation, defines the concept of disaster victims and presents their rights. The book also informs the victims, their families, those involved in rescue or support, and those who witnessed the disaster all have rights as victims. Furthermore, this book says that society should remember the disaster.
We tried to make ‘Victim Rights Manual’ in pocketbook size and make it into a book with shrewd use at the scene of the disaster. We also wanted to break away from the heavy feeling of the words “disaster” and “victim” and improve the blunt impression of the general “manual” through lettering designs with bright tones and unexpectedness.
