Hi there, I have divided my Portfolio into four chapters:
A) Teaching, B) Research, C) Practice, D) Consult
Teaching
In June 2023 I had the opportunity to hold a workshop at the department of Typography and Type Design at Bauhaus University Weimar. The aim of the workshop was to introduce students to Machine Learning (ML) and in the process to give them a glimpse of what is possible to achieve when machine learning is intersected with variable font interpolations.
Non – Original Genius (Design by other means in the digital age) was a three-week long graphic design workshop I carried out at the University of Prishtina in Kosovo. It was supported by the Centre for International Migration and Development (CIM) as part of the ‚Diaspora Experts’ program. The aim of the workshop was to use my expertise and skills to enable students to, over the three weeks, become acquainted with emerging design theories of remix, appropriation and authorship.
Two-week workshop at the Bauhaus Summer School in Weimar. Over the course of the workshop, we delved into the world of UI design, exploring the core principles of the Bauhaus movement and their relevance to today’s digital interfaces.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take part at the 28. Kolloquium "Design Promoviert" organised by @dgtf.de in @udkberlin and deliver a condensed presentation of my current PhD research.
Research
AITYDE is the online platform for exploring Artificial Intelligence in the realms of Typography and Design. This platform is born out my research framework at the Bauhaus University in Weimar exploring the interplay between typography, design, and artificial intelligence. It serves both as a journal and as a dynamic platform, fostering collaboration and innovation.
Honor thy Error as a Hidden Intention is a research project that began with a spontaneous experiment of dragging and dropping an image into a text editor, which revealed a wild textual noise. A random section was deleted, the file was saved, reopened in a graphic program, revealing a completely surprising aesthetic to the picture‘s previous content.
In the class of Prof. Bernd Hennig, we were asked to appropriate, replicate and remix in creating our own compositions. I decided to remix some iconic Braun products and in the meantime reject functionalism, one of the key values proposed by Dieter Rams.
Poetcloud is the result of a three-month long research for my master’s thesis project “Poetry in the new media – Rethinking poetry in the digital age”. My aim was to bring poetry to a new audience and to use the special capabilities of the digital devices along with digital typography to read poetry in a different way on the screen. It was supervised by Prof. Hermann W. Klöckner and Prof. Bernd Hennig.
Practice
Performed as a part of Schnapsundidee Kreativfestival in Munich, Let Them Eat Work explored into the matter of productivity-fetishism and workaholism culture through 14 animated posters. Texts were inspired by the counterculture poems of Kate Tempest.
Poster designed to celebrate the 7th edition of @captchamannheim design festival. The Festival included an exhibition which took place @mannheimerkunstverein and included works inspired by the theme called “onwards”.
When you are strange" is an art project realised while studying in Dessau (2015–2017). What does it mean to be a stranger, and how this feeling can warp your perception of yourself and others. It was realized in the class of Prof. Lisa Stybor under the theme of “Foreigner, Stranger”.
These are a series of stamps inspired by a mural painted in Kosova during the years of socialist rule in Yugoslavia. Each version of the stamps is based on geometric shapes of the original artwork. I separated these shapes, duplicated, scaled and colorized them to create unique compositions.
Consult
This project serves as a curated anthology showcasing my portfolio spanning four years (2018-2022), encompassing collaborations with diverse design agencies and start-ups. It encapsulates my journey within the design industry, offering a silent yet evocative narrative of my professional evolution.
