Design Walk 2010
- For the 2010 Design Walk, double decker, a London based, design-curating agency, challenged 13 graphic design studios in the historical center of Athens to create a piece of work inspired by the fundamental contradictions / oppositions in design methodology that every designer constantly deals with. The result is the Poles Apart exhibition that gave a unique visual insight into the creative process as well as its curious contradictions.
We designed the DW visual identity following the contradiction ‘'functional vs. decorative''. All applications are double-sided.
The functional b&w side contains two classic fonts (bodoni & helvetica) and communicates the event in a direct and straight-forward way. On the decorative side, we used the same structure and fonts placed on a vintage wallpaper found on the area of Psyrri and then sprayed from top to bottom. Graffiti is a key visual element of the area after all.

- The walk took place in the vibrant area of the city next to the Acropolis, leading the visitor between cult shops and hip bars to discover works by award-winning graphic designers, in one of the most inspiring neighbourhoods in Europe, where ancient Greece, West, East, yesterday and tomorrow meet.
