Oliver Zandi www.zandiprojekt.com/ [email protected]
I am a graphic designer, looking for unique opportunities to utilise my skills as an effective creator and problem solver. As a designer, I value clarity and simplicity, but strive to create work that is playful and interesting, more so than austere. I believe simplicity goes a long way in design, especially in beautiful and effective design. My work is predominantly formed around traditional methods of printing, such as letterpress, lithography, screen-printing, bookbinding as well as digital projects, with aspirations in moving image.

SAMUEL BECKETT POSTERS

The brief asked to design a series of four theatrical posters to announce a short season of Samuel Beckett plays at the royal court theatre.
The typographic-photographic posters epitomise the light and shadow / life and death elements that are omnipresent in all four Beckett plays. The images were initially produced in the photography studio and processed digitally later. Printing the words on sheets of acetate and tracing paper and using a theatre spotlight created the shadows and overlays.

THE LANGUAGE OF COLOUR
