Elisava's Master's in Graphic Design is ingrained with societal, cultural and critical contributions to the creative industry, going beyond its aesthetic output while fostering self-awareness in creatives.

The Parc mouse cursor appearance was done (actually by me) because in a 16x16 grid of one-bit pixels... this gives you a nice arrowhead if you have one side of the arrow vertical and the other angled.

"We're constantly striving to strike a balance between work that respects academic rules of composition, established visual codes and good readability, with something more spontaneous, adventurous, playful, even naive."

Static images don't show motion. You can't inspect real product structure. You don't see how interfaces evolve over time. You rarely understand what actually works in production. So I decided to go deep. I reviewed every major design reference platform I could find - not just the popular ones - and analyzed how they actually help in real-world work. The conclusion?

One thing I spent a lot of effort on is getting edges looking sharp. Take a look at this rotating cube example: Try opening the "split" view. Notice how well the characters follow the contour of the square. This renderer works well for animated scenes, like the ones above, but we can also use it to render static images: The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT.

I have CSS code to display SVG files. How to force background as transparent or white? The SVG is already transparent. But SVG files do not contain a background unless one is added in the code or as a shape. An example: @media (min-width: 600px) { .header1 .logo a, .header1 .logo img { background: url(my.svg) left center no-repeat; width: 220px; height: 75px; } }

Mattel operates dozens of brands under its corporate umbrella, each with their own visual identity and brand voice. But, until now, Mattel has never had its own proprietary typeface for its overarching brand, instead opting to license multiple existing fonts on a global scale—an endeavor that was not only expensive, but also came at the cost of visual consistency across Mattel's many product lines.

From day one, this felt like a true collaboration. Together we set out to build a contemporary British grotesque that respected BBH's heritage while giving it room to push forward.

Massaranduba, the small agricultural town in the south of Brazil that Pedro grew up in is far from sci-fi, but this graphic designer's imagination takes him some place else. From posters, illustration, magazine layouts and typefaces (such as pieces that focus on sci-fi author Ursula K. Le Guin 's fictional Kesh alphabet), Pedro works digitally with a focus on textures and grit, using dithers and fractals to build upon visual world's textures. His projects are "mood-centred", which begin by assembling references from all over to refine feelings that are conjured up by consuming films, fashion, music and other visual forms.

Infused with history, the slab cannot help but suggest the old West's frontier clichés, for such ephemera as classic wanted posters, political broadsides, cautionary warning signs, and more generic commercial applications. Cattivo is a brand-new 18-font family that, when used in any weight and size, cuts through nostalgic predictability and provides a welcome alternative to such popular Egyptian-style slab serifs as Stymie and Memphis.

A graphic designer that isn't limited to working in 2D, Ward Goes has been working in aluminium of late. His recent solo show in Rotterdam, Literally Anything, was full of things that moved beyond the screen or printed page, including some wonderful metal signage and archival storage. The exhibition at Alley Space was the result of the designer's decision to pursue more tactical investigations alongside his commissioned work at the start of 2025.

Blackletter typefaces elicit many contradictory emotions depending, of course, on the context in which they are used and the manner in which they are composed. Sometimes they bark commands - STOP or BEWARE. Other times they are comforting in an ecclesiastical way - Christmas and Easter greetings. During World War II Blackletter was menacing for those in occupied lands who read it as exclusionary - as in FORBIDDEN or DANGER; others accepted it as patriotic
