Dorina Nowill Annual Report

Dorina Nowill

Dorina Nowill is an annual report designed for a foundation that serves people who are blind or have low vision. Braille points are used throughout the publication, forming phrases and textures alongside the printed text. The cover carries dry relief dots, so the report can also be read by touch. The pages are printed in four colours on offset paper, chosen for its porous and tactile surface. The report records the results of the fiscal year and sets guidelines for the following year. The design aims to make the publication inclusive for every reader.

Hill of Owls Book Design

Hill of Owls

The designer aimed for the book not only to remind of the past, but also to reflect the present, so the bright orange and black colours was chosen, which is a symbol of energy, creativity, and the thematic colour of the present institution at the premises. The book is designed in a minimalistic way while the sleeve itself has no title, only the period of time and a stylized owl encoded on its front, which is a symbolic way of marking the centenary and school location. Classic printing technologies, such as offset printing and hot stamp foiling, was used to achieve the result.

Afterimages Magazine

Afterimages

The graphic design concept and visual communication for the Afterimages art magazine is coherent: from logo, identity to the layout. The main goal of the project was to tackle with the legacy of the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz and create a modern version of it that stems from the avant-garde tradition. Rough quality paper, dry-stamping technique, the printing colour (Pantone) applied to the cover, corresponds to the topic of each issue. The magazine is richly illustrated, filled with quality photos, and in this respect it resembles life style magazine.

Discussing Time Book

Discussing Time

Discussing Time is a book that records a group discussion about the concept of time and presents typographic sculptures inspired by that discussion. The book measures 7 by 12 inches. One sculpture is made of ice, formed by pouring water into molds and freezing it. As the ice melts into water, the passage of time becomes visible to the audience. The layout refers to illuminated manuscripts and parchment books of the early sixteenth century, combined with modern photography. The result links historic book design with present technology.

Zoom Exhibition Catalogue

Zoom

The Zoom exhibition (Museum of Ethnography, Budapest) takes an unconventional approach to the museum’s collection. The content structure is shaped by shifts in viewpoint presenting objects and object masses from new angles. The catalogue attempts to introduce this approach through different graphical and bookbinding-printing solutions. The book’s inner spine features a uniquely generated pattern for each copy which is a reinterpretation of the embroidered motifs typical to Hungarian folk art. The exhibition was designed by art1st Design Studio, lead designer Daniel Taraczky.
