Visual Information Design Association of Korea (VIDAK)
Founded on 18 June 1994 with 300 leading Korean designers, the Visual Information Design Association of Korea (VIDAK) has been driving the domestic design culture for nearly 25 years, contributing to the national industry’s competitiveness and international success. VIDAK continuously pioneers a new paradigm of design for a better life and a better society. As a central organisation for enhancing the rights and social values of designers, the organisation seeks cooperation with other interested groups and sectors to further their potential and future course. Today, VIDAK has 1,000 members who are working in various parts of the industry and educational institutions both in Korea and overseas.
Through the all-around collaborative work centred on understanding and exploring human beings (human-centred design), VIDAK has built a knowledge fusion business platform that is not only limited to visual information design and which leads to a shift in awareness that pursues the real value of design. The organisation’s aim is to expand the knowledge network by opening communication channels. It wants to create the best research activities and results with a number of interdisciplinary subjects by linking the best workforce pool in the sector of visual information design with related organisations in Korea and abroad.
