My Mother Named Podlachia - Editorial Book

Selected Pages

"My Mother Named Podlachia" is an editorial design exploration of Białystok and Podlasie, challenging stereotypes and uncovering new perspectives on my homeland. Through experimental design and subtle choices, the project celebrates its cultural depth, historical legacy, and diverse landscapes, offering a fresh look at a region often misunderstood.

Eutopia Typeface

Eutopia Typeface began as part of my university dissertation on experimental type design, exploring new ways to approach typography. It challenges traditional ideas of legibility and reflects broader themes of progress and change. With distinctive, serif-like vowels set against sans-serif characters, the typeface creates an unexpected visual tension that pushes the boundaries of conventional design.

Posters

This selected poster collection explores what I call "graphic design porn," a space where designers can embrace bold, unrestrained visual expression within the limits of a poster format. These designs serve as a playground for experimentation, pushing boundaries with vivid and audacious aesthetics. Each poster celebrates the freedom of artistic expression, offering a striking showcase of graphic design innovation.

SerifChic Typeface

SerifChic, created in 2022, is a unique serif typeface that blends contrasting accents, combining smooth, round edges with sharp, striking contours. Designed to inject personality into typography, SerifChic embodies a bold, impulsive character, akin the spirited Gemini of serif fonts.

Oripeau Urban Project

Nantes, France

As part of Oripeau's urban collaborative project, I contributed a visual titled 'Vaporub.' This piece explores a conceptual narrative, delving into the 90s acid house era, where over-the-counter medicine took on an illicit role. It's a creative commentary on the unconventional uses of everyday items during that transformative period in urban culture.
