Concept, Graphic Design - 2026

A poster for Richard Upton's participation in the Pyongyang Marathon - one of the few events where Western runners are permitted entry into North Korea.

A dot matrix built from the North Korean flag's colour palette. Red dots replace white along the centre lines, forming the St. George's cross - an English marker emerging from inside the system rather than imposed on it. An inverted version reverses the field. Same language, different reading.
