A Korean-English book, "Design Conceptor: How to Develop Creative Concepts for Problem Solving," was published on June 6, 2024. The book aims to help individuals optimize their cognitive potential. The "Design Conceptor" method outlines a creative process that transforms knowledge into ideas, enabling individuals to maximize their brain's capabilities. This approach primarily benefits those seeking to enhance their creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The significance of "Design Conceptor" lies in the conscious creation of creative concepts, deliberate stimulation of divergent and convergent thinking, and systematic development of concepts.

This methodology distinguishes itself from other idea-generation techniques or problem-solving approaches. Additionally, design concepts can enhance 21st-century skills such as conceptual ability, information-gathering ability, creativity, organizational ability, and implementation ability.

On August 25, 2023, I released a Korean-English book titled "Basic Principles of Visual Communication" (시각커뮤니케이션의기본원리). This book systematically explores fundamental visual theories, concepts, techniques, essential visual language, and valuable design education content to help learners develop the skills needed to succeed as professional designers and artists. It explains how to improve visual perception skills and understand visual communication theory through design examples, and it includes various learning tasks for self-study.
