ABOUT
Hello there!

My name is Lera and I'm communication & multidisciplinary graphic designer based in Moscow, Russia and welcome to virtual shelf of my projects.

I challenge my design skills in brands, web layouts, illustration.
Also enjoy to work with letters, packages, spaces. Currently
I'm improving my skills in motion graphics & 3D.

I like to see and improve progress in my works from moodboard to whole working project. But I always remember — perfectionism is dangerous, because if your fidelity to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything.

Currently open for collaborations and job suggestions.

BOOKS
Milena SlavickА
She
For the first time, the prose of the Czech writer and art critic Milena Slavitska has been published in Russian. “She” is a collection of short stories where main characters are minor female characters from works of famous male writers. These stories are based on works of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Henry Miller, Milan Kundera etc. Milena's prose opens up a new aspect of reading well-known plots and finds strong hidden deeds and voices in them.
Giorgio Agamben
Pulcinella: or entertainment
for children
Agamben explores the life, death and resurrection of the enigmatic masked character – whether man, demon or god, and the main source of his thoughts is an album of drawings by Venetian artist Giandomenico Tiepolo, who dedicated the last years of his life to the images of Pulcinella.
ZINES
David Foster Wallace wrote the acclaimed novels Infinite Jest and The Broom of the System and the story collections Oblivion, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and Girl With Curious Hair. His nonfiction includes the essay collections Consider the Lobster and A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, and the full-length work Everything and More.

This zine includes many rare and vibrant interviews. These talks are "wrapped" with simple designs to remind writer's favourite things in his life: tennis, white bandana & some beautiful chaos of words.

So yo then man
what's your story?
David F. Wallace
Consider
the Lobster
Originally published in the August 2004 issue of Gourmet magazine, this review of the 2003 Maine Lobster Festival generated some controversy among the readers of the culinary magazine. The essay is concerned with the ethics of boiling a creature alive in order to enhance the consumer's pleasure, including a discussion of a lobster's sensory neurons.
BRANDING
Our goal is to create fresh and unique streetwear while being mindful of our environmental impact. And as we grow, we want to promote and empower local artists, creatives, and game changers. We believe that fashion can be a form of self-expression and a way to make a positive impact on the world.
