Projects using Adobe Photoshop in MostyskaProjects using Adobe Photoshop in MostyskaSpent most of my Sunday experimenting with poster design.
What makes this piece special to me is that I didn't start with a concept, a sketch, or even a clear idea of what I wanted to create.
It began with a blank canvas.
Throughout the day, I kept collecting and combining different elements – typography, textures, images, shapes, and small details. Slowly, the direction started to reveal itself, and this poster became what it is now.
I love how it evolved into something dark, dramatic, and a little mysterious. The kind of atmosphere that wasn't planned from the beginning but emerged naturally through the process.
Projects like this remind me that design isn't just my profession or a way to earn a living. It's also something I genuinely enjoy. Sometimes the best part is simply exploring, experimenting, and seeing where an idea takes you.
Here's the result of today's creative session. ✨ Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Maria, a graphic designer from Ukraine and a Master's graduate in Marketing.
For the past 3+ years, I've been helping brands bring their ideas to life through thoughtful visual design. I specialize in branding, logo design, packaging, and visual identities, with a particular love for creating clean, modern, and memorable brand experiences.
My background in marketing allows me to look beyond aesthetics and think about how design can support a brand's positioning, communication, and growth. I enjoy combining strategy and creativity to create visuals that not only look good but also make sense for the business behind them.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with clients from different industries and countries, collaborating on everything from startup brands to premium product packaging.
I'm joining Contra to connect with inspiring people, build meaningful collaborations, and continue growing as a designer. Happy to be here and excited for everything that's ahead. ✨
