We Are Baklazanas
Baklazanas is a nomadic design studio focusing on visual branding and communication design for cultural, educational and governmental institutions.
For us, design is a continuous communication. Our art direction aims to engage our clients in the process that not only communicates what they want but clarifies what they are.
The scope of our work encompasses a full range of contemporary communication design services. Whether we work on a visual identity, poster, book design or illustration our designs seek to transform ideas into communicative graphics.
Our cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-industry team brings analytical skills and creativity together in order to balance emotional needs with business requirements. We combine a conceptual and strategic approach with expertise in the sphere of cultural branding into all phases of the project from the planning of the communication strategy, project management to the design implementation.
Taking care of every detail and every single step of the design process we always work closely with our clients, no matter big or small, in one-to-one relationships. We strive for simplicity, geometry, color, direct typography and functionalism in all of our solutions.
Our client list ranges from museums and non-profit art spaces to theatres, film producers, publishing houses, universities and research organizations, fashion brands, private charitable institutions, socially conscious organizations, and more.

1. The cross is the first piece of design. Lowering that bar is a sin.
2. Thou shalt speak with entities by thine design just as the Lord spoke with thou at the upside down mountain out of the midst of the pale fire.
3. Thou shalt have no other gods before the Lord, Flying Fish and the Holy Ghost of Communication.
4. Thou shalt not design without faith, function, research, sacrifice and melancholy.
5. Neither thou shalt design for design's sake. Design that does not solve problems but turns into an embellishment is a sin.

8. Neither thou shalt design for the sole purpose of stroking thine ego.
9. Neither thou shalt make any harmful design, multiplying sins such as tobacco, drugs or alcohol use, crime, fish canning or any oppression of human and fish rights. Design without moral consideration cannot exist.
10. Thou shalt keep your wish to change the world with thine design as the Lord hath commanded thee.
