Bank of England

Designing for a central bank means finding a balance between technical and sensitive information, staff-led outputs, engaging general communications, and a series of regulations. This is not simple to achieve and it is based on delicate internal dynamics. The new identity has been developed together with the people who will use it, balancing all the aspects of the communications. It focuses on reaching a wider public with an accessible, relevant, structured, and distinctive approach. These key principles have been used as a design direction for all the visual assets.

Henri Rousseau's impressionist style is ingeniously applied as the main visual elements into this project. Wayfinding signs are designed as interesting impressionist-illustration silhouettes here and there in the park, creating a tranquil eco-friendly hilly aura for visitors. The artist's thoughts and the project's purposes are brought into resonance by the concept of harmony between human and nature.

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.
