TipoBerba 2012

TipoBerba 2012 // Cyrillic Type Design Workshop
TipoBerba 2012 was the 2nd Cyrillic Type Design Workshop, organized by Tipometar, and funded by the Ministry of Culture of Serbia. The workshop lasted ten days and was held in the village Tršić – the birthplace of Serbian linguist/language reformer, Vuk Stefanović Karadžić. For more information (and a look at all the posters) check out the TipoBerba Behance page. More in Serbian here and here.

Vedran Eraković, Jana Oršolić and Borut Vild gave lectures about various aspects of design – and presents! The booklet below is a type specimen for Balkan, a new typeface system by Nikola Djurek and Marija Juza, which consists of Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

TipoBerba 2011 Exhibition – Posters from last year’s workshop were displayed during Vuk’s Fair.

Stop! Hammer time! When we weren’t working, we spent most of our time fearing for our lives (the woods of Tršić are home to one of the Serbia’s most notorious serial killers – Tkač).

Pretty cool! TypeClinic was featured on Design:Related and Behance.

Childrens’ Workshop Poster

Slon – Childrens’ Workshop Poster / Student Work, 2010
This poster was designed for a festival which had a children’s section and workshop called ‘Slon’ as part of its program (‘slon’ means ‘elephant’ in Serbian and Slovenian).
The idea was to use the promotional material to inspire the public to creatively participate in the festival through posters including paper toy and mask cut-outs of the elephant mascot.
The elephant characters were designed to give the kids’ section of the festival an identity and visually separate it from the main program. They were stylized in a way that would be recognizable and appeal to children. The information was to be positioned so that it would would remain visible after assemblage of the toy – in that way becoming a souvenir of the event, and promoting recycling and more efficient usage of resources.

BELEF // Blek Le Rat Workshop

Blek Le Rat Workshop // Visual program of BELEF09
Although stencil art has become recognized and accepted only in recent years (mostly due to the British artist Banksy), it has been present on the streets of world cities for years – and its founder is Black Le Rat (Xavier Prou). Since the early 80s, when he first came into contact with the New York graffiti scene, Blek Le Rat has created in the streets of Paris – later moving on to other cities of the world. As part of BELEF in 2009, he held a workshop and carried out several works in public space.The piece in the photo above is one of his works, and it is located on the building across from the Cultural Center Magacin, where the workshop was held. Mine is located on the entrance door.
