PERSONAL IDENTITY Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop 2018 My desire was to create a memorable symbol. The logo itself represents first letters of my name - D and A. I have used the yellow color as a main color for an identity, as it is obviously my favorite one. Additionally, I have created a pattern using parts of the logo to utilize it for different purposes in future.

VENTSEEK Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop 2017-2018 Ventseek is a start-up company, which has created an app that keeps you up-to-date with ongoing events in Brussels. The goal was to create design, which would speak to key audience of the app - 16-28 years old. Another important aspect was that it should to be mature enough to connect with partners and sponsors. I have found solution by creating a bold and bright identity.
A number of designs to advertise biggest upcoming events in Ventseek Instagram . All of them were made in 3 pictures to grab the most attention and to stand out from other events’ photos. Important to mention - we wanted to remain a style of each individual event almost untouched and just naturally add Ventseek branding to it.
This poster introduced the first ever public presentation of the app for Brussels students. The main challenge was how to show all 32 partners in one poster. I have used Brussels shape map as a background to indicate a location. Ventseek logo is in the middle with connections between biggest venues and partners
PROJECT THREE
LEROY MERLIN UKRAINE Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop 2017-2019 Leroy Merlin is a French headquartered home improvement and gardening retailer serving several countries in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. I have created an identity for Ukrainian branch. A pattern refers to Ukrainian national embroidery and it has been made using a triangle, the main part of Leroy Merlin logo.
My design aimed to build unique identity for Ukranian Leroy Merlin that differentiates it from other branches around the globe, as well as to bring the brand closer to the local market.
PROJECT FOUR
TOOLATE Adobe Illustrator 2018 Toolate is a talented DJ who celebrates a beauty of classics in electronic music. His style varies from a disco, funk to house music. Vynil hearts have been made for his singles and EPs. All of them are different to highlight a fact that each release is unique. Designs, I have created for him, are explorations of aesthetics of 70-80s culture.
The aim was to create posters announcing Toolate’s parties that would fit into a modern street life and on the other hand would still keep an old-school vibe giving you a feeling of the event from the first glance, even before you would get into details.
