ALEX MOREAU digital painting alex85moreau.wix.com/alexcreation
ABOUT Basically more on paper than screen, this year I decided to focus on digital painting, it’s a way to digitalize my draws. I like to imagine and create characters and use research process as an element of illustration to show how it was developed. So the goal here was to imagine the beginning of an artbook settings, the first drawings of possible characters and a possible universe, here a bot universe inspired by Sci-Fi movies or Video-games.

ALEXANDRA MANUYLOVA Illustration, concept art www.shuramora.com
ABOUT Since childhood I was always interested in art, more into comics but also academic painters. That made a good base for my skills as an illustrator. Through illustrations I can tell the story without words - make an emotional impact on the viewer. I�m glad I had an opportunity to finalize my skills and find my own style during Prague College study.

ABOUT As a visual communication designer I‘m especially interested in conceptual thinking and multi media approaches. I love to delve deeply into various subjects where I can be a curious observer and explorer time and again. My work deals with the merge of psychological backgrounds and design solutions across digital and physical environments.

ALINA SHUPIKOVA editorial & branding www.alinadsgn.com
ABOUT Being a graphic designer does not include being a real grown-up. Visuals are a field to play, a tool to explain things and a way to communicate. And what fuels me in my work is the best said in the words of Saul Bass: I want to make something beautiful today, even in nobody cares.�

ABOUT For me, Graphic design is a bridge that helps me to connect my creativity with the outside world. The possibility of expressing my ideas in a graphic way was what motivated me to be a Graphic Designer. My strengths are in visual communication and corporate identity. My creation capabilities extend also to branding, packaging, illustration and advertising.

ANNA BELOUSOVA illustration, branding, editorial behance.com/annasun
ABOUT Design comes when art is not enough. I find it extremely exciting and mesmerizing how a clever message and visual interpretation of that message can play together and blend into strong concepts and statements that are really capable of making a difference and making people think and even act. When it’s done right, it’s brilliant. And fun!

ANNE-LISE GROILEAU illustration www.annelise-grolleau.com
ABOUT This year in BA Graphic Design allowed me to develop my personnal style of illustration. I create drawings in a simple way, thin black lines mixed with collage which enable me to approach themes that interest me, to express my opinion about it and to spark off a reflection to people. I like to produce provocatives and unsettling illustrations which have a visual and thought impact, that’s my manner to show to people how I see our society.

ANTON STUPNEV UI/UX, illustration footof.tumblr.com
ABOUT I’m trying to apply analytical approach to the designs that I do whether it’s UI/UX project or a digital illustration. For example, I discovered that humour requires same treatment as a complex research, and that is analysis and deconstruction of the design object. And it’s not even nearly boring as it sounds.

EVDOKIA ZAMAKHINA experimental design hi-evdk.tumblr.com
ABOUT Since childhood I dreamed to do book illustrations. After graduating from fine art liceum, I realized that narrow specialization obviously is not for me. I wanted more freedom in terms of opportunity. Graphic design is exactly an education, which provides a wide range of abilities and develop not only specific skills, but also a worldview. In my work I always liked the idea of combining several visual languages and styles.

GERALD LABARBERA conceptual, branding, visual art geronimoport.com
ABOUT With a background in areas of cultural anthropology as well as intercultural + visual communication, falling into the graphic design industry is an unexpected but fitting ending. After having spent time working in environmental design, packaging design, and advertising, my personal development has become an ever-growing adventure, one that can hopefully lead to fully understanding the abstraction and interpretation of reality through art.

ABOUT Since I was a child, I loved drawing and reading comic books. At that time, I dreamed that I could be an artist one day, but I didn’t believe that I could do it. Then, after I graduated from high school, I went to university and chose to study business, but I felt that I wasn’t enjoying it, so I quit and then asked myself why not to follow my childhood dream. Then I applied to graphic design, and yes, I knew this was what I wanted. After 4 years studying, I saw myself getting better and better, I was trained through each assignment, and knew that what I still missed, what I should develop further and what I learned after the assignment. My knowledge and thinking also got better and I have a conceptual thinking when I started to solve a problem/ assignment. Yes, I have never regretted that choice for graphic design!

ABOUT One thing that most impresses me about the field graphic design is the challenge to visualize certain topics and make them interesting and understandable for everyone.

JULIA REINDL experimental design www.juliereindl.com
ABOUT My latest work tries to use design as an platform for discussion about social, cultural and ethical trends in our society. One goal is to inspire and encourage peoples imagination to flow freely design as means of speculating how things could be. To do so, I combine classic design principles, with the power of new technologies, to create engaging and relevant solutions.

KATERINA HORKÁ branding katerinah.com
ABOUT As a child who would spend hours drawing and creating stuff, I remember my excitement of discovering Microsoft Paint. Saving approximately 10 pics a day, I made my way to Adobe Photoshop. Since that point I was absolutely sure, that’s what I wanna do when I grow up. After 8 years in the field I am still fascinated by the discipline and I still enjoy taking up on new challenges. Growing up in the age of advertisement and progressive technologydevelopment made me an experienced problem solver and no matter what the task ahead is, I believe it’s always good to think like a designer.

KRISTÝNA HAJOŠOVÁ visual communication/ experimental design khajosova.com
ABOUT Graphic design is, for me, picture in communication. The functional element of my expression is the visual communication, it gives me the unique opportunity to express various aspects of the written information and thus to move limits of entire design forward. Thanks to the combination of hand and computer techniques, I would like to revive the identity of both current, and newly created brands, and to be able, in overall scale, to fully communicate visually.

ABOUT I am Ravi Satpute. I was born and raised in Mumbai, India. Ever since I remember I was fascinated by observing people’s body language, how they behave and talk. As a teenager I started to draw my first characters and this became my big passion. I did a diploma course in graphic design in India and worked as a graphic designer at a corporate company. At Prague College I got the chance to develop my drawing skills and find my own style as an illustrator. For my final project I worked with a customer from Germany, MXR the Munich Cross Racing Team. It was a good experience for me to create a brand image and illustrations for a theme I wasn’t familiar with before. By doing this live project I could combine my skills as a graphic designer as well as illustrator.

YOANN MATHIEUX moving image/film yoannmathieuxpro.wix.com/yoann-mathieux
ABOUT Inspired by graphic arts since childhood I always liked being able to bring forth any image of our brains, the way of graphic design was very logical. My main goal in my work is to express intelligently my mind state on a fundamental theme or more lightly because for me an artist is not trying to be really understood but simply to express his way of seeing things.
