Uprising 44

Identity design and art direction for Warsaw Uprising Museum.

Each year, the Warsaw Uprising Museum launches a comic contest. All participants have to write and illustrate an original (often unusual) story that takes place during World War II. The best concept is financed and published by the institution.

Although the contest is very popular among comic book creators, it doesn’t have any distinct graphic identity that would engage even more people to take part in this initiative.
That’s why the Warsaw Uprising Museum asked us to create a brand new logo, art direction, a website and a trailer for the latest edition of the contest.

 
As a result, we designed a concept that combines an expressive illustration of a Warsaw insurgent aiming at the viewer with a very modern saturated color palette and typography.Our project was well-recieved and was also visible off-line thanks to the posters and banners printed all over the city.
