Beogradska trilogija (Belgrade Trilogy) Poster

 

Design of the poster for Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade in Serbia production of Beogradska trilogija (Belgrade Trilogy) by Biljana Srbljanović.

Belgrade Trilogy, dark comedy, set in Sydney, Los Angeles and Prague on New Year's Eve, the play shows snapshots from everyday life of young people who fled abroad to escape the Balkan war and the choices they face as they attempt to build a new life for themselves as exiles.

For the image on the poster, I use a major symbol of Belgrade, Pobednik (The Victor) monument by Ivan Meštrović. The image is positioned upside down, because that is how it is seen from the other side of the globe, and it is printed in three not perfectly aligned colours.

Pucina (Offing) Poster

This is the poster I designed for Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia's production of Pucina (Offing).

The play was writen in 1902 by Branislav Nušić, Serbian playwright, satirist, essayist, novelist. In the play Jovanka, the wife of the official Vladimir Nedeljković, becomes the mistress of a minister in the desire to create a career for her husband, and thus, to ensure a high civic reputation for her family. Thanks to that, Vladimir progresses and becomes a senior official, but he soon learns that his wife is not faithful to him, just as he learns and is aware of the fact that he progressed thanks to his wife's love affair.

"My Place Under the Sun" Logo

The organization Moje mjesto pod suncem (My Place Under the Sun) originated in Rijeka, Croatia. Their program's primary goal is to provide children below the poverty line with activities that will enable them to grow and develop based on their abilities rather than on the severe social context surrounding them. They offer these kids quality extra-institutional education in the hope that it will boost their self-esteem and self-reflection, and help them realize their full potential.


When I was asked to volunteer my services and create a logo for My Place Under the Sun, I decided to create something child friendly and also something empowering, thats why I created this recognizable image of child as super hero.

Today on 20th street between 5th and 6th avenues, I was surprised to see, still untouched, the Anti-Coronavirus poster posters I designed and posted more than 6 months ago.

I was one of the artists invited by Poster House and Print magazine to do Anti-Coronavirus poster.


NYC Street Version of the Anti-Coronavirus poster


That was enough for me I wanted the poster/message to appear on less official ad spaces and that way could get attention of more of the community in NYC. I paid to print and distribute poster on Manhattan Bronx and Queens.You will see in the link even David Byrne put my poster on his instagram with a comment.
