Astrum
A new cryptocurrency, Astrum, is entering the market. Its main characteristics are a high level of transparency, a focus on science, charity, and grants.
Crystals grown from protein on a space station is a perfect metaphor for all its characteristics. As it was synthesized with the help of humans I used the image of a crystal as a symbol of transparency and uniqueness. The key features of the overall style are strictness, simplicity, and minimalism. To connect the image with the scientific theme, I added elements reminiscent of formulas and chemical diagrams.

Gogol.
Visible-Invisible
A nine-hour festival dedicated to the 215th anniversary of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. The events included performances, lectures, concerts, workshops and discussions, as well as an exhibition dedicated to the writer as an individual. For this event, I and my team of designers created an identity that included navigation, merch, exhibition space, board games, website and social media layouts. We used images of characters from "Dead Souls" by a famous artist of the 19th century. The characters are hidden behind many layers of text's sheets.

The festival’s identity was inspired by the style of a grand invitation, with postcards from the authors overlaid on top as a gift to the publishing house, each showcasing their respective programs.
