Another document called the Hunmin Jeong-eum Haerye translated as the Hunmin Jeong-eum Explanation and Examples explains how the consonants were designed after the shapes the mouth makes when saying the letters while the vowels were designed after the principles of yin and yang.
King Sejong decided that the Korean people needed a new alphabet because the Korean language was fundamentally different from Chinese. Until this point all Korean was written in Chinese characters known as Hanja which were very difficult for common people to read and write. In fact, before the invention of Hangul the majority of Koreans were illiterate.
Hangul was designed so that even commoners would be able to read and write and as you might imagine this caused problems for the literary elite. Many scholars and aristocrats believed that Hanja was the only legitimate writing system and saw Hangul as a threat to their status. He understood their frustration in not being able to read or to communicate their thoughts and feelings in written words.
