10 Things I Have Learned

See the full project on Behance.

Inspired by Stefan Sagmeister’s project Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far and the many professional and personal experiences and turmoil in the first year since my graduation from the Zagreb School of Design I created a series of minimalist typographic posters illustrating the simple maxims and thoughts I had come to realise.

My first personal exhibition, featuring the posters, was opened on the 24th of January at the Boonika Gallery in Zagreb. The following are the posters and exhibition visuals and images from the making-of.

The Swing Era, Time-Life LP Box Set

Contributed by Stephen Coles

“…this was one of Time-Life’s most popular sets, having been reissued at least three times since its introduction in the early 1970s (see below). This may be surprising to some, since the music on these box sets is not the original big band masters heard on the radio or purchased on record in the 1930s and 1940s. Instead, the music here is a recreation of big band songs, performed by Billy May & His Orchestra and the Glen Gray Casa Loma Orchestra recording for Capitol Records in the 1960s and early 1970s.” — Both Sides Now
