About Hill of Owls Boekontwerp
Die ontwerper het beoog dat die boek nie net aan die verlede herinner nie, maar ook die hede weerspieël, daarom is die helderoranje en swart kleure gekies, wat 'n simbool van energie, kreatiwiteit en die tematiese kleur van die huidige instelling op die perseel is. Die boek is op 'n minimalistiese wyse ontwerp terwyl die omslag self geen titel het nie, slegs die tydperk en 'n gestileerde uil wat op die voorkant gekodeer is, wat 'n simboliese wyse is om die eeufees en skoolligging aan te dui. Klassieke druktegnologieë, soos offsetdruk en warmstempelfoeliëring, is gebruik om die resultaat te bereik.

- Design Challenge
- The goal was to find balance between history of the past and the present times while representing and expressing the feeling and recognizability of the Kaunas School of Arts in the shape of design and symbols. The most dificult thing was to put everything in a fluid and continuous way, when the material was from different times in history, while trying to show the processes of change and complexity in the technique, method of execution of the works of this school.

It presents the history of drawing as a teaching course, which began at the Kaunas School of Arts and continued in various institutions that have taken over its traditions. The schools have been collecting and preserving a valuable collection of drawings for many years, which, as the 100th anniversary approached, inspired a large publication (which reproduces more than 400 pieces of artwork).
- Project Duration

- Operation Flow
- The minimalistic design and typography throughout the book, and especially on the cover, sleeve and section pages, exudes elegance subtlety, while the contrast of orange and black colours gives a premium look and the feeling of importance. The drawings in the album are arranged chronologically, so the processes of change and complexity in the technique, method of execution of the works can be seen quite clearly.
