Color is more than just a design element. It is a profound language that bridges emotions and experiences, allowing artists to create evocative messages that resonate on a deeper level. It is a vital component in the toolkit of any creative professional. Accurate monitors like the ViewFinity S9<\/a> provide artists with the ability to see and express color accurately across various mediums, granting them total control over their artwork. This ensures that the final products are aligned with the artist\u2019s original intent.<\/p>\n

OIMU Studio, a design powerhouse in Korea, believes that design should act as a connector. Their work forges links between the values of the past and present, and between Eastern and Western traditions. Through various projects, including the renowned \u201cColor,\u201d \u201cNobang\u201d and \u201cMatch\u201d projects, OIMU provides these connections to their audience, blending cultural traditions and offering a fresh and modern perspective to elements of the past.<\/a><\/p>\n

Established in 2015, OIMU is a lifestyle brand and design studio known for bridging cultural differences and reinterpreting nostalgic objects with a modern flair. Led by Sohyun Shin, the studio boasts with portfolio of projects that connect various traditional Korean elements with contemporary aesthetics.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"OIMU's<\/p>\n

Q. Could you briefly introduce OIMU to our readers?<\/h5>\n

OIMU is a lifestyle brand and design studio, dedicated to celebrating and promoting the cultural values and traditions of Korea through design and content. We are involved in publishing, exhibitions and products as well. One of our most well-known work is the \u201cColor\u201d project, which created over 350 unique color names in Korean. We aim to reinterpret Korea\u2019s rich cultural heritage through design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. Can you tell us about your recent project using the ViewFinity S9<\/a>?<\/h5>\n

The \u201cColor\u201d project began with a goal to develop unique color names, typically in foreign languages, in Korean. Recently, we made 100 color name cards for a brand exhibition. As these unique set of colors had precise CMYK1<\/sup><\/a> values, it was important to express the colors as accurately as possible<\/a>, to highlight those subtle and nuanced differences. The ViewFinity S9 monitor helped us match our print values to our digital designs, and we were able to prepare the final print as intended.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Outside of the \u201cColor\u201d project, we also work with many delicate illustrations, which can appear blurry and unclear at places like print shops with ordinary monitors. ViewFinity S9, in contrast, presented images with outstanding clarity, allowing us to confidently move on with the card designs. I recently underwent LASIK surgery to improve my eyesight. If prior monitors reminded me of my sight before LASIK, the ViewFinity S9 felt like seeing with improved vision after! It has undoubtedly been a transformative tool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. What is the most important factor when selecting a monitor?<\/h5>\n

Much of OIMU\u2019s work, like any design studio, require attention to details. So, high resolution is essential. High resolution monitors<\/a> allow us to be more intuitive and help us work on intricate designs by showing the subtle differences in colors and details.<\/p>\n

Data processing is key in ensuring that physical prints turn out high-quality. ViewFinity S9 significantly reduces the margin of error during this process. When comparing digital and physical prints, you\u2019ll find them nearly identical. In essence, ViewFinity S9 helps us create higher quality designs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0What are your favorite features of ViewFinity S9?<\/h5>\n

There were reflections when we were using ordinary monitors, forcing us to use blinds. With ViewFinity\u2019s Matte Display, reflections are minimized and colors are accurate even in sunlight. Now, I can work while enjoying the view and natural light.<\/p>\n

Our studio has many windows, so, monitor glare is unavoidable. I like to work with the view of nature.<\/p>\n

ViewFinity S9 minimizes glares and reflections, so I can accurately check the colors even when it is bright outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. How else did ViewFinity S9 change your work environment?<\/h5>\n

Color temperature is another important aspect in our line of work. With ViewFinity\u2019s Smart Calibration feature,2<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0we can calibrate precise onscreen colors without additional and often expensive equipment.<\/p>\n

Also, ViewFinity S9 is great when I want to take a break from work, since I can watch my favorite shows on OTT streaming apps.3<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0I also just love this cute remote control.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q. Would you recommend ViewFinity S9<\/a> to other designers?<\/h5>\n

Designers spend countless hours in front of monitors. To me, ViewFinity S9 stands as an optimal choice for both eye comfort and faithful expression of images and color. If you are a creative professional seeking a premium display, you won\u2019t be disappointed with ViewFinity S9<\/a>.<\/p>\n
