Ukrainian Design History: Freedom as the Primary Influential Force

The article is about the phenomenon of Freedom inside the History of Ukrainian design and how the support and role of the community helped it to emerge and resist despite obstacles. By understanding and harnessing the hypermodernism semiotics of inspiration, Ukrainian designers created a lot of engaging, meaningful, and culturally resonant designs and you can use this experience to create your own meaningful design languages.

zine — death in june

A few pages from the zine-performance in 5 acts. It consists of the heard thoughts, the observed, the reflection on why my design is so personal, the actions from the sacred and intimate archives, and the final act — a celebration of our decadence. A personal history of reflection with one’s own person, figuratively, the death in June.

Symbol of Ukrainian resistance

This song “Oi u luzi chervona kalyna” (Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow) was sung in subway bomb shelters during shelling, when you had to not panic and stay in a good mood. It was sung by soldiers on the front line, by paramedics and rescuers. “Chervona Kalyna” was performed by children and the elderly, and their videos were shared online and received thousands of views. It’s hard to imagine a Ukrainian rally abroad without this anthem.

Box of creativity

The idea was to create a product symbolizing the creative methodology and exchange it for donations for volunteers.

A military box marked with striking typography. Merged with beautiful calligraphy and evocative poetry, this utilitarian object transformed into a symbolic artwork, the “Inspiration Box.” Representing the battle of a designer’s challenge with the triumph of creativity, the box serves as an emblem of overcoming obstacles and a tangible tool for sparking imagination in its beholder.

Kiosk: Independent opinion

Is it possible to have an independent opinion at all, living in a society where there are so many opinions, information noise, and circumstances around us? This poster shows the marketplace of opinions through the metaphor of an ordinary market stall with a bored saleswoman. The poster is an hommage to Heorhii Narbut, famous Ukrainian graphic artist. The figure of the saleswoman is a stylized girl from Narbut’s illustration for the magazine “Art”. The lettering is inspired by Narbut’s typeface.

Kyiv Poster – 1 of 3

In my visual metaphor, Kyiv is an amalgam of concrete, glass, and plastic. Sometimes they are fused together in a very naive way and sometimes in a complicated modernist tempo. The curvy and rhythmical architectural forms were the inspiration for this poster which, just like Kyiv, in some places is replicating itself by a rhyme of shapes and materials and sometimes is just as unique and charismatic as Kyiv is.

Why

This illustration emerged in the train, on my way from Poland to Germany in March. I’ve fled to Poland on the second day of the full-scale war. Shortly, at the beginning of March, russian military shelled the school, which is only 200 meters away from my mom’s and brother’s apartment. The girl in this illustration reflects my feelings over the past 1.5 years.
