Each month, graphic design experts, including educators, art directors, and designers, share their opinions on the most significant graphic projects that have left a strong impression on them. These discussions help better understand contemporary design trends and approaches, and also inspire the creation of unique artistic solutions.

This material presents case studies from Mitya Kharshak, who selected projects from his close designer friends. This review illustrates the creative approach and unique solutions applied in design and demonstrates the importance of collaboration in the creative industry. The works of Mitya's friends reflect a variety of styles and directions, which emphasizes their professionalism and individuality in each project.

The head of the HSE School of Design in St. Petersburg, as well as the founder and editor-in-chief of the Projector magazine, plays a key role in the development educational and creative initiatives in the field of design. His experience and expertise contribute to the development of modern approaches to education and the design profession, and also contribute to the dissemination of relevant knowledge through publications in the journal.

Video for the song "We Do What We’re Told"

The video for "We Do What We’re Told" by Peter Gabriel was created by Ariel Kotzer, who previously held the position of art director at Pentagram and TBWA. Ariel is currently focused on his own projects related to artificial intelligence. His creative approach and experience in the advertising industry allow him to create unique visual works that connect art and technology.

The video for "We Do What We’re Told" is a powerful visual statement that touches on pressing issues in modern society. The script for the video is structured in such a way that the tension and urgency of the themes constantly increase, drawing viewers' attention to important social issues. This work of art not only entertains, but also makes you think about the consequences of our actions in modern times.

Motifs ad Infinitum: Remediations in Time Project

An impressive project that caught my attention was the work of my friend Selcuk Artut. He is a multidisciplinary designer, musician, and professor at Sabanci University in Istanbul. Selcuk successfully combines programming, music, design, and multimedia art, creating unique works that inspire and expand the boundaries of traditional notions of design and art.

The multimedia project Motifs ad Infinitum: Remediations in Time continues Artut's research into identifying mathematical patterns in graphic patterns. In 2023, Apress published his book Geometric Patterns with Creative Coding, which explores these themes in detail. The project is a stunning multimedia installation that immerses viewers in a world of harmony and structure, demonstrating a unique combination of art and science.

Starting in October 2025, the HSE School of Design in St. Petersburg will launch a second original course, Creative Coding, led by Selcuk Artut. This course will provide a unique opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge of creative programming, which will be an important step in their professional development. Students will be able to learn modern methods and tools that will help them create innovative projects at the intersection of art and technology.

Oded Ezer Exhibition

The third project that deserves attention is Oded Ezer's solo exhibition entitled «The Samsa Enigma». It took place at the Jewish Museum in Prague and was timed to coincide with the 140th anniversary of Franz Kafka's birth. The exhibition explores Kafka's influence on contemporary art and offers viewers a unique interpretation of his legacy through the work of Oded Ezer.

The exhibition presents a unique graphic interpretation of Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis." However, in this context, the literary source serves more as a starting point for Oded's profound graphic self-reflection. His works immerse the viewer in a world of internal transformations and existential experiences, making the exhibition relevant and in demand. The graphic elements used by the artist allow him to explore complex themes related to identity and change, emphasizing Kafka's significance in contemporary art.

Ezer is known as a talented typographer, creator of unique typefaces, and a creative designer who constantly pushes the boundaries of design. However, through this exhibition, he has proven himself to be a powerful, expressive graphic artist. This new facet of his work highlights his mastery of graphic elements and forms, making his work even more impressive and memorable.
