The Monthly Design special issue ‘Why Did That Design Get Rejected?’ featured option B from Cultures and Histories of Indigenous People in North America. Everyday Practice wanted to visualise the Native Americans who dreamed of harmony with nature, the gods, and their neighbours, based on their arts and crafts. We drew on their dress and jewellery to derive symbolic forms and common patterns, which were then rearranged and reassembled in a collage approach to reveal the identity of the exhibition. The poster is inspired by their costumes, with small particles reminiscent of intricately woven textile textures, creating visual interest.

However, due to the nature of the National Museum of Korea as a public institution that is visited by an unspecified number of people, the final design was decided to be a design that directly reflects the artefacts themselves, rather than a design that transforms the shape of the exhibits. Although we were unable to apply the multi-layered graphics and detailing that we had hoped to achieve in the original design, we were able to develop graphic elements based on constellation motifs that were subsequently placed efficiently in the exhibition space.
