In the second semester of 2016, it carried out development for package design for Punggukmyeon, a small and medium company in Daegu. Students who participated in the talent donation received a talent donation certificate from the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and the beneficiary company in response made donations through the Daegu Community Chest of Korea. Furthermore, ten small and medium companies having difficulties with pursuing design development were selected for design projects with exclusive teams.
Another major project was the design element development project for the Bukseong-ro arts and manufacturing. Students examined the historical and cultural significance of the Bukseong-ro arts and manufacturing technicians to discover elements that could be integrated in design. During this process, students produced graphics and illustrated story books to share the history and value of Bukseong-ro in an easy and entertaining way.
YU Departmant of Visual Communication Design Dean Jung Jae-wan said, "Design is connected with various fields including urban, environmental, communication and architecture, so a social role is necessary. From this perspective, we will go anywhere that needs design in the future."
