Viskit: Enhancing Students' Study and Reading Activities

A Unique Kit for Organized Learning

The inspiration behind Viskit comes from the brand name itself, "Visang Special Kit," which cleverly shares pronunciation with the word "biscuit." The product characters are designed as biscuits to add a delightful crunch to students' learning, just like a biscuit. The chocolate, strawberry, green-tea, and cheese biscuit characters represent daily life in an engaging and relatable way. Through these characters and products, Viskit aims to bring a familiar and friendly approach to students, enriching their school life.

What sets Viskit apart from other study and reading supplies is its focus on organization and environmental consciousness. All plastic packaging has been eliminated from Viskit products, promoting sustainability. Instead, individual items can be stored in a reusable plastic folder that not only protects students' school supplies but also serves as a storage space for school handouts. Furthermore, the shipping box has been integrated with the product packaging box, reducing waste even further.

Viskit's technical specifications include a notebook size of 150 x 210, a spring-bound notebook size of 152 x 210, a reading stand size of 267 x 694, and various other sizes for different items such as bookmarks, zipper file-bags, recording stickers, corner pockets, reading records, stickers, spring-bound memobooks, pencil cases, mesh pouches, and stationery.

Viskit is designed to bridge the gap between students and educational materials. By incorporating character-based "biscuits" into student goods, Viskit offers a softer and more approachable perspective on Visang textbooks, moving away from the traditional "practicality-first" feeling often associated with educational companies.

The development of Viskit involves extensive research and analysis of students' needs. Each year, based on these needs, Visang Education's online channel, "Visang Textbooks & Mom Talk," distributes character-based learning kits under the brand name "Viskit." These kits are provided free of charge as part of various Visang events, with different thematic concepts introduced each season. The response from consumers has been positive, with increasing event participation rates and numerous reviews.

One of the challenges faced during the design process is creating a concept and matching kit items every season. The focus is on developing kits that not only aid students' learning but also cater to their specific needs. By analyzing yearly trends and employing various post-processing methods, new ideas are generated to better engage students and enhance their interest in learning.

Viskit was recently launched in July 2021 in Korea, following its initial launch in January 2018 during a new Korean semester event. The design has received recognition and acclaim, being awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration, and Visual Communication Design category in 2022. This prestigious award honors designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and technical skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making the world a better place.

Viskit is not just a collection of study and reading supplies; it is a comprehensive kit that empowers students to take control of their learning journey. With its unique design, organization features, and commitment to sustainability, Viskit is revolutionizing the way students approach their studies and enriching their educational experience.
