Donggrami equals togetherness and helps independent Korean designers share their work and personal information by donating their talent through projects. There is a lack of collaboration and recognition between designers in Korea. Because Korean designers cannot communicate or network with each other, they suffer socially and psychologically. My thesis proposes a solution that implements a creative way to give them support, and also allows them to socialize with other designers so that they feel like they have a community and a team. This thesis production creates an online-based community for designers aged 20s to 30s as a social media platform in Korea. The target audience experiences a new user interface of website and usability. This thesis attempts to examine target audience to develop an interest in learning about the relationship between the designers.

About

Ki Won Kwak

My ultimate goal as an interactive designer is to make commercials or work in design industry. During the years of MFADT, my experiences are very helpful for being successful goal with knowing how to influence people’s aesthetic, perceptual, and social context. The experiences also provide various and specific methods and more implementation opportunities across all media by solving the subjects of visual thinking, in which I can explore both the aspects of interaction techniques and conceptual ideas.
