Modern Korea, particularly during the Japanese colonial period, experienced significant political upheaval alongside the influx of Western culture and technology. The fall of the dynasty and the arrival of a new publiccentered era led to a growing demand for information design. This study analyzes the media in which information design was implemented in modern Korea and focuses on how it was expressed in the changing contexts of everyday life. Beyond mainstream media such as newspapers, posters, pamphlets, and leaflets, it explores more specialized forms of media embedded in everyday contexts. Beyond commonly known mainstream media formats, it examines artifacts held in museums and private collections—objects that utilize very small or repetitive spaces to convey information. Through this, it identifies unique characteristics of information design in these peripheral media. The research uncovered non-mainstream historical materials such as seals, labels, and calendars from museums and private collections. It reveals that even non-mainstream media, such as information designs inspired by seals and objects occupying extremely small spaces like product labels and matchboxes, contribute to the diffusion and contextualization of information design. These media not only contributed to the widespread diffusion and normalization of information design at the time, but also played a significant role in shaping the cultural context of Korea's modern information design landscape.
