Client: EUROPEAN FILM ACADEMY

European Film Awards

The European Film Awards, the most renowned and prestigious award for European film, are presented by the European Film Academy to honor the greatest achievements in European cinema. As the Head of Design at the European Film Academy, Alina was responsible for the event media design for the 2022 award ceremony, which took place in Reykjavik, Iceland. The project encompassed everything from invitation cards to backdrops, to art direction of the motion graphics team. The highlight was the backdrop, for which Alina created a digital painting inspired by aerial views of Iceland.
We handle the entire design process, from concept to art direction and print, allowing you to focus entirely on what you do best: organising spectacular events.

Art direction & design for events

I am grateful for all of the clients I get to work with, and celebrate the collaborations we had together.

A beautifully designed publication that I’m proud to share with my network!

We had an important environmental publication that needed a clear, creative design, but I was stuck and out of time. Alina, recommended by a colleague, reached out, and her friendly approach made me give it a try. I told her I needed help with no clear idea, and she took over brilliantly. Now, I have a beautifully designed publication that I’m proud to share with my network!

Effective illustrations, as a great support for our website.

I enjoyed Alina's structured approach, and her unique style of design and illustration. She helped me translate my conceptual ideas into clear and effective illustrations, which were used for our website and are a great support for our events.

Meeting deadlines and delivering great work.

Alina is a fantastic graphic designer with a unique eye and an ability to find the best visual identity for you and transform it into a finished product. She's attuned to the creative task at hand and flexible with changes while meeting deadlines and delivering great work. I'd highly recommend her!

Alina blends creativity with user oriented design.

The problem we were trying to solve was finding a designer that could collaborate with young people who are co-creating the project aimed at 12-19 year olds.

It felt like other designers didn’t speak the same language as the young people involved.

Alina's service is different because she blends creativity with rigorous user-orientated design that is very collaborative while positively challenging assumptions to substantially improve the impact of the project.  

Alina started by listening to the users and asking a series of questions to deepen the mutual understanding of the brief. Alina then proposed a series of optional approaches to collectively discern the best route. When Alina produced these  four amazing stylescapes, I realised our problem was being solved.

The website Alina has designed is inspiring for users and we can see a path to building a truly pan European Film Club programme for young people.

Project Manager

Creative, well organised with perfect time management.

It was a pleasure to work with Alina! She is not only creative, but also very well organised with perfect time management. She conducts research and responds to the wishes of the artists in order to generate the best possible synergies.
