About Hill of Owls Дызайн кнігі
Дызайнер мэтаваў зрабіць так, каб кніга не толькі нагадвала пра мінулае, але і адлюстроўвала сучаснасць, таму былі абраны яркія аранжавы і чорны колеры, якія з'яўляюцца сімвалам энергіі, творчасці і тэматычным колерам сучаснай установы ў гэтым памяшканні. Кніга распрацавана ў мініmalістычным стылі, прычым на суперобкладцы няма назвы, толькі перыяд часу і стылізаваная сава, зашыфраваныя на яе пярэднім баку, што з'яўляецца сімвалічным спосабам адзначэння стагоддзя і месцазнаходжання школы. Для дасягнення выніку былі выкарыстаны класічныя тэхналогіі друку, такія як афсетны друк і гарачае тысненне фальгой.

- 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.
- Research
- The layout was carefully put, so it would feel balanced and easy to understand - especially to for the reader. Because text section has a lot of historical information - the particular type of layout was chosen so it would be easy to find correct additional information.
- Inspiration
- Drawing on the Hill of Owls is a book dedicated to the centenary of the Kaunas School of Arts. 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
- The project started in July 2022 and was finished in October 2022. It was presented and exhibited to the public in December 2022.
- 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.
