Zeitgeist is a collective design publication that documents a poster project involving 63 graphic design teams. Created in response to a turbulent moment in Korea’s contemporary history, the publication brings together designers’ visual works, personal statements, civic declarations, and critical texts to present a multilayered perspective on the project.

By revisiting the tradition of civic manifestos that have emerged at key moments in Korean modern history, Zeitgeist responds to the emergency martial law declared on December 3, 2025, and poses an urgent question: What is the role and responsibility of designers today?

The names of all participating designers are blind embossed in white on the front and back covers. Through restrained typography and tactile production, the design reflects themes of anonymous solidarity and unseen voices, echoing the quiet tension carried by the act of collective declaration.
