ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2019 // Misbits Recordings / VA - The Emerald
Born in 2017, Misbits Recordings is an experimental and ambient music label from Bucharest. 2018 marked the launch of its first release in a series of nine 10 inch records: VA - The Emerald. The various international artists invited to record for the series share a conceptual sensibility that places their music at the intersection of natural and man-made chaos.
GLITCH created the sleeve and record design for the series that sports an intricate 1 square meter illustration meant to take listeners on a Moebius strip journey from nature to city and back. Each sleeve holds 1/9th of the illustration so only when placing all of them side by side on a 3 by 3 grid does the whole story reveal itself.
2019 // Big Party ZU event identity and communications
The year was 2018, when brutalist aesthetics & vapour wave artefacts took over the internet for good. The same year when Radio ZU launched Visual Radio - a digital initiative that would add a 24/7 online visual dimension to Romania’s number one radio station. To celebrate the occasion, Radio ZU hosted a ginormous party for its partners and stakeholders. It was unapologetically called Big Party ZU.
GLITCH brought the party to life with a concept that opened the floodgates of this Windows Paint induced craze and unleashed it onto the 500 invitees. From printed event invitations & gif memes email invites to photo wall graphics, the creative direction broke all rules of the Photoshop. Nothing was safe from this pixel-laced weirdness - all around the party venue, the suspended, continuous screens shot a heavy stream of fluorescent cats, drop-shadowy rainbow text and multiplying cut-out faces of performing artists.
