 | Three in oneOn the 27-th of February the walls of Kharkiv Academy of Arts and Design held a thesis defense for a group of young doctoral candidates.
One of the scholars — Oksana Chumachenko presented her work not on one, but on three separate environmental topics.
For her first project she chose to create a brand new graphics' style for the approaching VII triennial «The 4-th BLOCK.» Fresh and innovative design immediately captured imaginations of the examining committee, launching a long and passionate after-defense discussion among the committee members and the curious public. Her second work was a design of a concept style for the upcoming «Contemporary Arts Center.» And for the final piece of her tri-segmented presentation she introduced a design for an inspiring project called «The eco-bag» — an idea that the environmentally unfriendly plastic bag does not necessarily have to be plastic, and that it can be easily replaced by a new, stylish, and, most importantly, much more eco-conscious substitute.
