2009Collage Kit – mail art
This is a ‘Collage Kit’ I created by collecting set of the same images and mailed them to 8 different people asking to create a collage from them. Those are the responses of final pieces I received. It shows how unique each of us is.

8 2009 Eyes – collage
Set of experimental collages. Exploring new technique with sellotape and magazines.
92009Skin – collage
The theme of the collages is femininity, showing common features of women but focusing on individuality. Cropping small parts of bigger pictures makes an interesting and abstract pattern.

Logo, packaging and website design for a jewellery brand ‘Tiru-riru’, which specializes in hand made jewellery.
Tiru-riru – brand identity
112009
All the jewels are unique and hand made out of redundant object. That is why the labels and all the materials used in the design are recycled, signifying that they were used as something else before just like pieces of the jewellery by Tiru-riru.

192010Alice in Wonderland – serigraphy
A series of silk screen prints I have produced for an exhibition ‘Alice in Wonderland‘ at ESDi Barcelona. It is an interactive piece where the viewer has to draw the arrows on the clock saying what time he has seen the work.

Creating all promotional materials, brand manual and creative, and fresh advertising campaign. The change of typeface refreshes the brand and makes it more modern. At the same time, leaving the colours of the old logo makes it still recognizable.

This is the outcome of the D&AD brief for McDonald’s to create an integrated campaign that celebrates the inherent democracy of the brand. My idea was to show how open and welcoming the UK is for other nationalities.
McDonald’s – D&AD brief
252011
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from there’s a McDonald’s for everyone. Interestingly in most languages that use roman alphabet word ‘my’ starts with letter ‘m’ and so does McDonald’s. Connecting both together makes it ‘My McDonald’s’.
McDonald’s – D&AD brief
26 2011
I have also created a short video for this campaign that shows diverse set of individuals bound by shared experiences and rituals. We can all relate to that experience, because we all have a favourite at McDonald’s.
McDonald’s – D&AD brief – movie
272011
Every individual no matter where he is from has his McDonald’s in Britain. That is why ‘my’ in every language is written by hand to emphasise the uniqueness of each person. McDonald’s is the ‘People’s Restaurant’ and this is what this campaign stresses.

Men and facial hair. Men and power. Men and abuse of power. Some of the most powerful men in history have abused that power. If the symbol of their masculinity is removed, what dreadful truths would we find? This book does the math.
The Moustache – book design
312011
On the right side of the book there are images of the tyrants. On their faces is a number of people, who went missing or died during their dictatorship. Whereas on the left there is a short information where and when they ruled.

This publication is inspired by the civil unrest in Libya which started on February 16th 2011. It shows two sides of the conflict, as represented by the ruling regime and the rebels who oppose it.

352011
The covers are pretty much the same but inverted. That shows that there is one problem but two different sides. The inspiration for the covers relates to a timeline inside the publication.
Libya – book design
36 2011
This book depicts the conflict from two opposite sides of a daily timeline and the text therefore reflects a reading from opposite directions through the page.
Libya – book design
372011
All the information used in this publication is based on daily research across different media such as: The Independent, The Economist, The Sunday Times, Channel 4 News and Polish Radio Trojka.
Libya – book design
38 2011
As the aim of this publication is to show each day of the unrest, some pages have been left blank what means that on this day nothing has happened. I believe that when there is nothing being said it means something as well.

In addition to the book I have designed a bookmark which represents the intervention of the United Nations and Arab League into the Libyan conflict. What makes it the third side to the story.
