ABOUT

The Gdynia Literary Prize (Polish: Nagroda Literacka Gdynia) is a Polish literary prize, which is awarded annually to the authors of the best books published in the previous year in Poland. Our studio was asked again to prepare a complete image renewal of graphic identity of the next edition for 2023, including all visual and promotional materials. This year, we decided to focus on the multidimensional nature of literature and use photography to create and document our installation in various spaces of the City of Gdynia.

The concept of visual identity of this year's edition was largly based on photograpy. We created a physical object – a cube made of mirror steel material, which reflected the surroundings and created a multi-dimensional illusion of space. Next, we photographed the cube in recognizable, important spots of the city of Gdynia: City Beach, Gdynia Seaport, Sea Towers, Gdynia Film Centre, The Dar Pomorza Ship (En: Gift of Pomerania), Marina, Emigration Museum, Gdynia Aquarium. We wanted to expand our design with activities happening in real space, going beyond the sphere 3D modelling only.

We also created the NLG (En: Gdynia Literary Prize) promotional spot, showing the cube in different city locations.
