Tickets for inspection. "Returns" (branding) is a graphic interpretation of the album's title. Back home, off the road. Returns to other social environments. Reportage photos of Zuza Krajewska capture the suburban railway compartment, and sinister, classic illustrations add to the overall anxiety, opening the gate for further visual polemics with the recipient.

The eighth solo album from MIUOSH consists of 10 songs that touch on the most breakthrough moments in his life. "Powroty" translates to "Returns" which can be understood in two ways. Both in the context of ad hoc returns to home and as flashbacks from the artist's life. In the album the musician from Katowice returns to the milestones of his musical career, takes account of himself and sums up his previous steps and stumbles.

The animations were used in the form of Instastories promoting the artist's tour on Instagram,

as Facebook communication and as animated backgrounds for the Youtube playlist of the album.

The original inspiration for the illustrations were characters identified by the artist from his childhood and the culture of Silesia - a region in southern Poland. The heroes were the railroad canary and the pigeon fancier.

The animated part of the project was inspired mostly by cartoons from the Warner Bros "Looney Tunes" series.
The iconic round logo and character animation style were one of the central elements of the animated graphic design.

The photosession by Zuza Krajewska illustrated a hypothetical return of the musician from a party during late night. The choreographed scenes are a good depiction of events and ambience that can be experienced

during the late evenings in the Warsaw Subway.
