"How to Be a Fascist" book cover

My cover design for the book "How to Be a Fascist - A Manual" by Michela Murgia. 

Art direction by Paul Buckley and published by Penguin Books.

 

This is a short, bitingly ironic mixture of On Tyranny and The Psychopath Test, Italian political activist Michela Murgia explores the logic that is attracting increasing numbers of voters to right-wing populism. Far from its origins in the 20th century, fascism is once again on the rise in an age of increased connectivity and globalism. Murgia shows how many of the elements of our society that we might think would combat closed-mindedness and xenophobia actually fan the flames. Closing with a “fascistometer” to measure the reader’s own authoritarian inclinations, How to be a Fascist is a refreshingly direct, polemical book that asks us to confront the fascisim in our governments, in our societies, and in our own political leanings.

Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb

For their 140th anniversary, MUO - Muzej za umjetnost i obrt / Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, Croatia, decided to refresh their permanent collection. That refreshment included a section called "Design in Croatia".

I'm very honored that they managed to fit three of my designs in that relatively small space. On top of that, I'm very honored that I'm sharing walls with some of my design idols as Boris Bucan, Ivan Picelj and Mihajl Arsovski.

"Screw The One Who Started It" The Poster and Billboard

The poster and billboard for Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia's production of Mamu mu 

jebem ko je prvi počeo (Screw the one who started it) written by Dejan Dukovski.

"I wrote the text in the early nineties in this region. In some ways, it was a reaction to the view of war from 

a close range. The outrage of this view is also felt in the text. Outraged views of fallen angels. I did not 

want to write about war or comment on politics and military strategies of the time, the text is an homage 

to mythical theatrical situations about love and war, sex and violence. All scenes are replicas of already 

existing scenes of world dramaturgy. I guessed some things ... Like, for example, the young character of

 Shakespeare's Hamlet could have met in the town Wittenberg, the old and knowledgeable but decadent 

Marlowe's Faust. Learned to doubt. As I learned in those years." – Dejan Dukovski

"Screw The One Who Started It'

I just received a few photographs of the billboards and my design for the play Mamu mu jebem ko je prvi počeo (Screw the one who started it) , produced for the JDP Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia.
