Welcome to my portfolio! I'm a passionate and energetic graphic designer with experience in workshop graphics, fine arts, music, photography, and film production. As a freelancer, I've worked on various projects, including music videos and brand designs. I use most of the Adobe Suite. Next to the titles, I added badges of apps so it's easier to see which ones I used in the projects.
I designed the cover and layout for George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984". I wanted to capture the essence of the book's grim portrayal of totalitarianism while adding my unique twist.
The minimalistic set of colors and blocky pictograms serve as a visual representation of the harsh and rigid nature of a totalitarian regime.
Here you can see the visual identity I designed for my hip-hop event. On May 19, 2023, in the main hall of the Academy of Fine Arts at pl. Matejki 13 took place unique happening that I prepared. My presentation depicted a fascinating look at the relationship between visual arts and hip-hop culture.
3D fluid-like sphere refers to the wordplay between the literal meaning of "drip" and the hip-hop slang's version. Purple colors refer to many hip-hop covers of new school rap artists and the colors of my brand. I used the Gothic style font on the poster and the leaflets with this chrome metallic effect. It has sharp and shiny corners like the jewelry that rap artists wear during their concerts.
The font design began by identifying key characteristics such as decorative, humorous, thick, liquid, round, and happy. These traits guided my sketches, which I created using markers, ink, and spray paint. It formed the basis for glyphs for "n" and "o." Expanding from there, I incorporated the same traits into more letters while considering contrasts, axis, serifs, height, width, optical weight, and aperture size.
The transition to Adobe Illustrator refined these designs, capturing the essence of the initial traits in each letterform. The process combined creativity and precision, which resulted in a balanced and intentional font. In the last image, you can see the presentation of the font in the Polish word "scena," which means "scene."
This music cover was designed for the remix of my song by Ziemowit. Drawing inspiration from vintage films and the dynamic Fast and Furious style, the album art captures at the same time classic and high-energy essence. I achieved this effect by utilizing photos from our dedicated shoot and a custom Photoshop brush I crafted. These elements brought a personal touch and unique textures to the design.
Using Photoshop, I transformed the photos into a cyanotype-like style, adding a touch of vintage allure. The typography, influenced by hip-hop aesthetics, seamlessly blends with the song's genre, enhancing the cover's overall impact. This cover embodies the fusion of cinematic nostalgia, personal elements, digital tools, and music genres.
Here you can see one of my stop motions. My task was to show the movement of one of the four elements – water. To create this animation, I used oil paints to craft a visually arresting sequence. After painting the frames step by step, I edited the video in After Effects adding a few effects and sounds so it look more like water.
Presenting a collaborative work: our team of four – myself, Dawid Dmytrenko, Maria Iskra, and Madzia Hebda – crafted a poster that captures the essence of the ancient Greek term "kalon," representing ideal beauty in both physical and moral dimensions. Our creative journey involved dynamic brainstorming and numerous sketches.
Ultimately, we harnessed typography, the golden proportion, and a retro space vibe to fashion a poster where the word's definition elegantly encircles the letters "o" and "n." This captivating design is a tribute to the convergence of ancient concepts and modern aesthetics, a visual testament to the concept's timeless resonance.
I prepared this poster for the exhibition of my workshop graphics. It took place in Cracow Library from May till the end Of July. It showcases an abstract, snake-like motif from my metal engraving prints. It is one of the characteristic marks I often use in my designs. To balance the composition, I added daring typography on the right side. There you can read some information about the place, author and date of the exhibition.
