ME

I'm a young designer, born in 1986. in Croatia where I lived until I was 18. After finishing high school in a small city of Istria i was ready to explore the world. Following my love for creation I ended up in Milan where I started my studies of graphic design at Istituto Europeo di Design. The city of Milan gave me good basics to understand all fields of design, from graphics to fashion and music, that way I was given the open possibility to explore all directions of my creativity.

2008 CALENDAR editorial

?
create a calendar for the year 2008 using pictures of fresh fruit
!
minimal based graphic calendar whose purpose is not only to be used in the kitchen (as predicted), but because of it's elegant design can also be used in the office or any other environment
 

PALAIS DE TOKYO visual communication

?
create an visual campaign that will help promote this museum of modern art placed in Paris
!
since it was an young artist encouraging museum it was necessary an revolutionary idea that will be appealing for extravagant audience. My idea was to transform the PDT into a republic inside of Paris, encouraging the "no rule" attitude that the museum had. By visiting the museum - instead of tickets you would get money bills that, inside of the republic, has a value and can be used to buy gadgets (PDT's promotional tool). I also created a logo/flag using the Greek mythological creatures since the building itself has statues representing same
 

CHRISTMAS GREETING CARD editorial

!
a play with predictable greeting form manipulating it into a promotional material

!
experimental printing with minimal graphics
 

SWATCH BOX packaging

?
create a watch packaging for a special edition Swatch watch for the 2008 Olympic games held in Beijing, China
!
considering the fact that the target group were children, I created a little fake environment which consisted the most representative elements of China and that particular Olympic games - the big wall, the typical China house roofs and the stadium. The watch was placed as a part of a Fuwa (the mascot) that way completing the little world that a child brings home in a box
 

unicef against aids poster

?
create an anti AIDS campaign
!
by uniting many parts of different faces into one, it was shown how even thought we are all different we are all same in front of the virus
 

AGREGATION CENTERS identity

?
create visual identity for the agregation centers in Milan
!
the logotype consists the letters C (Centro), A (Aggregazione), G (Giovanile) or M (Multifunzionale), all together making the shape of a human body. A person as individual makes part of a community, of a society and being so becomes the most important link of this organization
