A Festive Mood! — Holiday Illustration Series for Gazprom Neft

post

Corporate Communications · Illustration · Visual Concept · 2024

THE BRIEF

Develop a cohesive visual concept for Gazprom Neft’s 2025 holiday communications, reflecting the company’s philosophy, «Energy in People.» The illustrations needed to highlight people, give each holiday its own character, and work across print and digital formats.

MY IDEA

I wanted to capture the joy of celebrations that bring people together and allow them to share warm feelings with loved ones. Each illustration reflects the unique spirit of a holiday through its distinctive attributes and festive details.

RESARCH & VISUAL SOLUTION

I explored the company’s brand identity, visual guidelines, and previous communications, alongside the cultural traditions and symbols of each holiday. I developed a cohesive illustration series that combines a consistent artistic style with individual holiday imagery, designed to adapt across different communication formats. This experience strengthened my ability to turn a corporate brief into a flexible visual system — an approach I can bring to other brands and creative projects.

Monkey Pastiche Series — T-Shirt Illustration Series for HSE ART AND DESIGN STORE

Concept Development · Illustration Series · Merchandise Design

THE BRIEF

Create a series of three illustrations for a limited-edition T-shirt collection, following the technical requirements of silkscreen printing, including a maximum of three colors per design.

MY IDEA

I reimagined three famous paintings — The Rooks Have Returned by Alexei Savrasov, The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and Expanse by Alexander Deyneka — introducing mischievous little monkeys into their familiar scenes. The monkeys became the connecting element of the series, bringing humor and unexpected twists to the original compositions.

RESEARCH & VISUAL SOLUTION

I explored the compositions and recognizable details of the original paintings to preserve their character while giving them a playful interpretation. I developed three connected illustrations, considering the limited color palette and technical requirements of silkscreen printing, and explored how the designs could be adapted across different products and merchandise.
