Никол Петкова / Графичен дизайнер
Никол Петкова е графичен дизайнер, току-що завършила специалност „Графичен дизайн“. В работата си се фокусира върху редакционен и motion дизайн, както и върху изграждането на визуални идентичности. Вдъхновява се от разнообразни принт техники, списания и аналогови процеси. Интересът ѝ към дизайна се заражда още в 5-ти клас, а в 10-ти клас програмата SoftUni Creative ѝ помага да намери посоката, която я отвежда към професионалното развитие в сферата.

Имате ли личен девиз или мото?
НП: „Да влагам частица от себе си в работата си. Колкото и клиширано да звучи, веднага можеш да видиш, че даден човек е дал душата си.“
Какво е най-важното послание, което искате да оставите чрез работата си?
НП: „За мен е важно даден проект предоставя нещо на човек, така че да е полезно и да има вложено послание. Ако един проект е кух, какво допринася на света? Чрез работата си бих искала да накарам хората да почувстват дадено нещо, било то нещо социално насочено. Дизайнът е инструмент и трябва да се научим да боравим с него, тъй като има сила и влияние. „
Какъв е най-големият мит за графичния дизайн?
НП: „Един разпространен мит за графичния дизайн е, че е лесна работа и не изисква добро заплащане. Забелязвам, че често дизайнът се подценява и не се инвестира достатъчно в него. Дизайнът по мое мнение е многокомпонентен и си струва даден проект да се изпипа, да има последователност и ясно изразена концепция.“

I’m glad to share that I’m shortlisted for the Art Directors Club of Europe Student Awards, in category Publication Design! 🎉 @adceurope
97 students out of 300 applications were selected! The ceremony of selecting the winners will happen during ADCE Creative Week in Barcelona, 19-21 of November. Looking forward to it!
This is my graduation project Magazin ("shop" in Bulgarian)!! 🎉
In the last 5 months I delved into the decline of small stores with a case study focused in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The work consisted of a magazine and 2 short films, lots of crates in the exhibition and a lot of price tags as stickers! The publication shared the story of 5 workers in stores in my home town through photography while the videos give the audience a grasp of the physical environment, as if you are there.

Riso Paper Jam Session is a multimedia project made as a participation to the Student competition ‘Join the Playlist’ organised by the International Chaumont Graphic Design Biennale.
Our process involved a spontaneous creation, multi-layered and collaborative, which resulted in a series of unique album covers, made of collages, weird objects and the content of our pockets.

About the project:
Riso Paper Jam Session is a multimedia project made as a participation to the Student competition ‘Join the Playlist’ organised by the International Chaumont Graphic Design Biennale. Its name comes from a play on words, refering to music jam sessions and the jammed printers.
The only mandatory criteria was to deliver a design object in relation to a music piece.
Our process involved a spontaneous creation, multi-layered and collaborative, which resulted in a series of unique album covers, made of collages, weird objects and the content of our pockets.
The covers were then the starting point for new experiments: bigger covers and an aftermovie, which moves on the beats of the track’Lo Spontimo’ from Scuba Z, music that reminded us of the noises made by riso printers.

Hey, it's been a while :) But I am back with some archived projects from the beginning of 2023!
This project is a compilation of 3 techniques I wanted to explore: projection mapping, motion graphics and making objects out of wood.
By implementing them in the installation, I played with space, the relationship between the two materials and the flow of the animation. You can see more about it in the next posts or in my website <3
