New Edge Mag

The Magazine has been operating since 2014, and its strive is to improve the content and expand the platform. According to statistical data, the magazine is surpassing the expectations every year. 

With the tenth issue, the New Edge team has decided to spice things up and make the release of the magazine exciting. So they have teamed up with popular bars and places in Ljubljana and we organized a launch party, for all the people that have been working with the magazine so that we can hang out together and have a good time. 

This project was recognized by the “University of Ljubljana Rector Award for the Best Innovation 2019” award, where the New Edge Magazine was announced among 8 finalists.

Valley Curtain (1970-72) located in Rifle, CO was one such work and arguably one of the under-recognized installations in the couples’ oeuvre. Fashioned from 4 1/2 acres of orange nylon fabric and suspended between two mountain slopes above Colorado’s I-70 highway, Valley Curtain was conceived as a dramatic environmental intervention in the Grand Hogback Mountain Range. The project took 28 months to come to fruition, yet Valley Curtain’s duration would only last 28 hours, cut dramatically short

Visual Identity, 2020&nbsp;Visual identity inspired by nature &amp; wellbeing. We have incorporated nature into our visual design DNA. We wanted to keep the design clean but strong in a narrative way. The inspiration were landscapes, vegetation and water! Because in nature everything is balanced and only in nature we can fully regenerate and sense the true pristine moments.

My work is defined by precision. I design to locate its core idea and give it a form that holds. That often means working with very little: a line, a shift, a field of color. But each element is doing structural work.

Book Design

2014 - Present&nbsp;Art Direction, Graphic Design, Layout Design, Editorial Design The layout has a power of expression, the white space and other elements can bring out the best in articles represented by it. And about the books they say, never judge a book by its cover, or maybe you should? Good cover design can express the inside of the book even better so good design is really important.
