Coming from a background of studying at Kaunas High School of Arts, I was given an opportunity to explore various art techniques and art history. However, I have always found myself more interested in making the existing look good rather than creating my own, which I feel is the main difference between art and design.
As passionate as I am about art, I have never wanted be an artist nor did I ever want to consider myself being one. This was the main reason that influenced the choice of my future path, graphic design. Which I see as something between art and ‘normal world’.

- Luminous FluxThe core idea for 'colour' festival’s identity was to advertise it by not using any colour, or using as less color as possible. There is no specific slogan for the festival advert. It is rather a bunch of fun/ interesting/engaging facts about colour. The whole identity was made to be always changing, ever-different and for that reason, there are few different background images, different catchphrases, few different colours for text was used. The abstract visualisations used in background were made mainly by experimenting with different software. By being quirky visualisations represent the waves of light – the most important part of both colour existence and for human being able to see the colour. For which reason, the name Luminous Flux was chosen, which emphasises the importance of light when seeing color. “In photometry, luminous Flux or luminous power is the measure of the perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total power of electromagnetic radiation (including infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light), in that luminous flux is adjusted to refect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelength of light.”
- FuturaThe typographical poster that would represent Futura typeface. Futura is a geometric font, which is constructed by using only geometric forms as the circle, the triangle and the square. The core idea was to make geometric composition out of letters rather than easily readable name of the typeface.
- Memento MoriMemento mori (Latin: “remember that you must die”) is the medieval Latin theory and practice of refection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. Butterfly stands as the symbol of change, transformation. Although in some cultures it’s a symbol of soul. It seems quite ironic that we use the needle to stick the symbol of soul under the magnifying glass, to take a look at it. As I talked to my friends about death, the conversations always ended with the questioning if we have souls (or something that’s immortal, that lives after we die) or that everything ends with the death of the body. I find the question if we have souls more important than questioning what’s happening after we die. The poems seemed most acceptable for me as that is just feelings about death, rather than unreasonable knowledge. In this book, one has to use magnifying glass to read the poems, like at symbols of soul – butterfies. The whole book is a mixture of classic and modern - from Antique Greek poems to modern nowadays poetry. It parallels to the initial idea of death studies – people where questioning it centuries ago as well as it is still a relevant discussion now. There are a number of opinions on it and what might seem an acceptable perception for one, will be disagreed by someone else.
