The exhibition of graphic designs for the artistic and scientific magazine "Powidoki" is a summary of several years of artistic and design adventure of the author of the graphic concept of the magazine, designer, academic teacher at the Institute of Graphic Design – Przemysław Hajek, DA. The exhibition will feature designs of covers, sketches, preliminary concepts, posters, illustrations, photos and promotional graphics that accompany each issue of the magazine. The viewers will have the opportunity to see unpublished projects that have not been printed and the real inner workings of design – from concept for execution to photo shoots. Since 2019 seven issues of the magazine have been published by the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, around which a dedicated visual identity has been created. The magazine's graphic design has won several awards, including an honourable mention at the Polish Graphic Design Awards (Poland), Silver A'Design Award (Italy), and was among the best typographic projects in the 13th international Communication Arts review (USA). It has been presented at exhibitions in Poland and abroad. This exhibition is both a journey in time and a presentation of the author's body of work, which prompts reflection on, among other things, the condition of the publishing market. It also poses the question of relevance of publishing in print the written word and image in an era of crisis, rising costs of materials and the ubiquitous digitalization of materials. There will be an opportunity to meet the author and listen to a lecture. You are welcome to attend.
