Telling a story... good use of color, etc... These are not really lessons FROM K-Pop. I guess K-Pop as much as any highly popular and commercialized product is going to have to fit the bill though, but why study the shadow on the cave wall instead of the perfect form?

The principles of good design definitely don’t come from k-pop. You’re right. Any designer can go out and read about what constitutes good design.

I wanted to show designers that you can learn about design from any communication medium… As long as they practice looking. So following along your analogy, sometimes looking at shadows can be just as effective as the original form.

Also, k-pop is funner than a design textbook :)
