Nel

This typeface is developed with the designer in mind. Nel is a modern typeface with lots of options. The Regular version consists of Uppercase and lowercase letters, and quite a few other punctuation marks. The Nel Brickbuild is a playful stencil version and the Nel Dots is a dotted typeface. The Nel also has a light and heavy style with corresponding fun versions. Icons (an all icon font) has been its most recent member. There are nine options in total to mix and match while designing awesome prints, posters, logos, websites, or identities. One family. For designers.

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.

Q Shinsyu Apple Pie Lab

These are branding projects for Q, an apple pie specialty store. The typography of the store's name, Q, was created using the apple as a motif and symbol for the store. All brand tools, including the exterior, interior, lighting, stools, uniforms, and packaging, were designed using this simple symbol. In keeping with the product concept of utilizing materials as they are, the tools are also designed simply, utilizing the colors and textures of the materials, such as paper and wood, as they are. All designs are in line with the store's vision of valuing the original taste of apples.
