최근 유럽에서 출판된 디자인 책 Young Graphic Designers Americas에 June의 디자인이 실렸습니다. 독일 Köln에 본사를 둔 daab라는 출판사에서 펴낸 책인데, 편집은 Spain에서, 인쇄는 Italy에서 한 것으로 나와 있는게 흥미롭습니다.
제목에 들어간 'Americas'가 복수형으로 되어있는 이유는 두 아메리카 대륙(북미와 남미)의 디자이너들을 소개하는 책이기 때문입니다. 약 40명의 디자이너가 알파벳 순으로 소개되어 있는데, June의 디자인은 사진과 간단한 약력과 함께 여섯 페이지에 걸쳐서 실렸습니다. 이 책의 Editor로부터 책에 실을 작품을 보내달라는 부탁을 받은게 거의 1년 전이었는데, 이런저런 사정으로 출판이 늦어졌다고 하더군요. 최근에 한 디자인들이 실리지 못한게 조금 아쉽습니다.
출판사에서 보내준 complimentary copy는 바다를 건너오면서 약간 구겨져서, 보관용으로 Amazon에서 28불을 주고 한 권을 더 샀습니다. 어쨌든 아직은 'Young' 디자이너로 쳐주니까 기분이 나쁘지 않습니다. :)
June designs in New York City. His graphic design works have received lots of awards and been showcased in publications and exhibitions in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
In his earlier days in Seoul, he used to be a medical student, played a cello in an orchestra and participated in protests against dictatorship.
June likes iced coffee, black jack, typography, democracy, TV series Lost and Puccini’s operas and
he also enjoys traveling to the places he's never been to.
June believes he is agnostic and it is the most humble and rational way about religion.
He hopes the world to be the place where people can live more peacefully as well as less unjustly than now. And he lives with his wife and two sons.
Boyeon was born and grew up in Seoul and now lives by the Hudson river in New Jersey with her husband and two sons.
She studied computer programming as well as programming-based design and used to work as a programmer.
However, she is so busy these days in taking care of two boys that she cannot find enough time to even open her e-mails everyday.
Boyeon likes ice creams, Korean rice cakes, Klimt’s oil paintings and Michael Mann’s 1995 film Heat and
she also enjoys traveling culturally-distinctive places like southern Europe.
Boyeon is a perfectionist and has amazingly good memory. She easily shed tears, has an acute sense of taste and is a good cook.
Kai was born on October 19th, 2006 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June’s first son and it was 20 years after his parents first met in their junior high.
Now he is Tate's big brother.

Kai is a Hawaiian origin word that means ‘ocean’ and also has a meaning of ‘willow tree’ in native American language.
His middle name is Haon, which has a concept of “True happiness can be found in small things of everyday life.”
It includes June and Boyeon’s wish for him to be a happy person who can find joy and meaningfulness even from small things around him.
These days Kai goes to a preschool and sometimes surprises Mom and Dad by saying very difficult words.
Kai turns three in this fall.
Tate was born on June 2nd, 2008 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June's second son as well as Kai's brother.
His horoscope is Gemini and his zodiac is rat, and his blood type is RH A+, which is what all of his family have.
The word Tate means ‘cheerful’ and has an old English origin.

Now He walks well and tries everything his brother does. He doesn't get scared of new things.
