The following pages include a selection of works that were done during 2012 to 2016, for Klubd Nicosia, Alternadiva, Just Wax Berlin, default, Square, Kathxhtiko, Hands-on Famagusta and some blinks from various experimentations.
This folding flyer was designed to promote klubd’s new season opening month. As the first piece of work that I did for the club, introduces this era of spatial visual codes that suggest a continuous research on creating ‘new kinds’ of spaces, with gravity and temperature variations. Every monthly flyer is followed by a series of single event flyers using the same design logic.

The following works were done for the ‘Alternadiva 440m’ two day music gathering held in the Cypriot mountains in September 2015. The setting was located into deep greenery underneath an abandoned metal ceiling structure. As the area consists of polymorphy, several shapes found on-site that were analyzed and were used on the digital and printed posters. Along with a mixture of eleven pre-set fonts shaping an entity between a living creature and a machine on the main poster, that was also expressed in a short animated gif.

A poster designed for the first Alternadiva Showcase featuring a night of music and light beams. The main drawing consists of an altar to the goddess Alternadiva that was also presented in the form of an animated gif. 17 Poster for Alternadiva, March 2016
Alternadiva started as a team of djs and visual artists, in October 2012. As a co-founder and designer of the collective I created the logo, as the first image that would meet people’s eyes coming out of our four minds combined. The logo highlights the name’s first and last letters AA and establishes them as a future brief sign of the collective. The design process was a continuous loop between two dimensional and three dimensional drawing techniques exporting a result that stands as a 3D entity, whose spatial specifications cannot be described at first sight.

This design was created to promote a new series of music daytime events in Nicosia in May 2016, named ‘ΚΑΤΗΧΗΤΙΚΟ’. On the back side introducing the logo of the team, while the front side is presenting the aura of the event’s outdoor space that consists of plants and water elements, merged together with the rough urban environment. The lack of data on the design tries to create a strong sense of what the upcoming events will be, in terms of solid aesthetics of space, music and vision.
