Brand Identity, logo, type & colour

Yeyesisters logo: a lowercase serif wordmark in blue with the t drawn as a pale blue cross, above the Korean tagline 예술로 예수를 전하다

Yeyesisters shares Jesus (Yesu) through art (Yesul). The name “Yeye” joins the first syllables of the two words, and it is also a heartfelt “yes” to God.

Yeyesisters brand guide: Georgia and 본명조 for headings and body text, the script faces Quentin and KCC-김훈체 for display, and a palette of three blues with teal, grey and yellow

The Book of Genesis

The first volume in the series, drawing on the beauty of Korean culture. I led the art direction, designed the cover and interior layouts, and made the illustrations that carry the story. It raised ₩13M in crowdfunding within a month.

The Gospel of John

A Bible laid out like a magazine, so faith and art share the page. I designed the cover, the interior layouts and the promotional visuals. It sold over 400 copies through organic social media alone, with no ad spend.

The Shepherd's Love, picture book & social

A picture book for children and adults, drawn from Psalm 23. A small, curious sheep follows its Shepherd and learns that wherever it goes, the Shepherd is near: guiding, protecting, providing. Young readers get to be “the sheep,” which turns Psalm 23 into something a child can follow.
