Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 24th that it recently conducted the first class of the 'Signboard Design School' for residents and business owners within the signboard improvement project area.

This education program is planned to be conducted three times by August, targeting residents and business owners of Chungjang-ro 4-ga, which was selected last year for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's signboard improvement contest project, and Chungjang-ro 5-ga, which is preparing to apply for the contest next year. The program includes theoretical education and field visits to excellent signboard improvement areas.

Dong-gu aims to establish a foundation that allows business owners to manage their signboards independently after the project by providing education on ▲the purpose of the project ▲understanding and enhancing insight into signboard design ▲safety management after signboard maintenance ▲and outdoor advertising law to residents in the signboard improvement project area.

A business owner who participated in this education said, "I used to think that signboards had to be big to be good, but this was an opportunity to change that fixed idea," adding, "I will actively participate in the remaining classes to contribute to revitalizing the commercial district with beautiful signboards reflecting the characteristics of the street."
