Mea Rhee Graphic Arts is a full-service print design studio, located
just outside of Washington, DC. I’ve been a thriving solo
practice since December of 1996.
What are functional publications?
It’s a term of my own invention, referring to documents
that have a “job” to do ... conveying lots of
information as clearly as possible ... useful, organized, and
attractive.

Journals > Reports > Charts/graphs/maps
I know, most designers are seeking artsy
and glamorous jobs, but I want the functional ones! Seriously,
I’ve always been the most tickled by this type of work,
and I think it requires a skill set that most designers
don’t have. I guess that makes me a bit of an oddball,
but it explains why I also became a functional
potter.
