Kind of distortion come from a work mad during 2018, it was a zine. It was a music and graphic project in order to make something to express my self and create a safe space where experiments with typo, scanner and old mag. K O D is retouch from over there: a project with not a deep values but with a strong wish to make chaos. I thing this is fitting with the request of the open call, Enjoy!
Cheers,

Just 3d experimental letters 🙂

I dedicate these letters to my dear Ukraine, my beautiful, brave and strong country. These letters are composed of parts of the Ukrainian map.

This experimental posters are made from the poems of Ukrainian futurists. Futurists experimented with the sound of words, so I decided to experiment with the form of words and how they can look in the physical world.

Cumbre is a slanted display type with unorthodox anatomy, a dynamic rhythmic structure, movement expression, and intense visual language. An eccentric rebel with ribbon-like moves, a balanced extrovert that makes meticulous use of ink traps.

Both the name and design got inspiration from mountain peaks. “Cumbre” in Spanish means summit, and that’s the motive for the spiked design and the angular serrated structure.

Cumbre is built by balancing sharp angles and venturous curves. The stems are spiky, and they vary in width. Cumbre is oblique and unicase. It has condensed proportions, moderate weight contrast, spacious counters, pointy terminals, and square ink traps.

Radial Type is an experimental set of letterforms made based on a circular grid. The only rule to the system is that a point of a letterform always lands on a grid intersection. For this I wanted to explore the concepts of symmetry, positive and negative space, and movement.

The world is changing rapidly and technology (Artificial Intelligence) is making many jobs obsolete. Robots are taking on more and more human tasks and are slowly learning to perform them better than you might think.
Work is being replaced by machines, robots or algorithms, which do something more efficiently and do not create anything new, they simply replace the basic unit of work.
The threat of unemployment is real; machines will be responsible for maintaining production levels in a world that will have fewer and fewer workers.

Nontraditional influences can be just powerful in shaping design as conventional methods. In my typeface project “Federico,” which is named and modeled after my grandfather’s practice of sign-making, I explore ideological expression while questioning contemporary trends and the underlying hegemony that constrains our making. Through the crude and scrappy act of sharing his ideals with electrical tape and plywood, I’ve built a playful typeface that relies on such humble materials and a relational history of manifesting abundance from poverty as a form of portraiture.

In times of post-truth and fake news there is room for this phrase “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to Joseph Goebbels.
