MFA Thesis – Graphic Ambassadors of a Country
Serbiana, sans-serif font, 2011-2012
Various denominations of Serbian money written numerically or alphabetically using my sans-serif font Serbiana: 10 dinars, 20 dinars, 50 dinars, 100 dinars, and 200 dinars. My goal in creating this composition was to see if the alphabetical and numerical characters inside of my typeface were harmonious and visually consistent.

MFA Thesis – Graphic Ambassadors of a Country
Serbiana, sans-serif font, 2011-2012
On this page I wanted to show the harmony and consistency of my font Serbiana. Whether the word is, (in this case word progress) written in English, or in Serbian, in Latin or in Cyrillic alphabet, the visual unity of my sans-serif font stays unchangeable.

MFA Thesis – Graphic Ambassadors of a Country
Serbiana, sans-serif font, pangram, 2011-2012
As a measure of protection for my currency, I designed a completely new, sans-serif font Serbiana. Serbian is the only language in the world that uses both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet; I worked on both alphabets in this project. I believe that this unique, brand-new font contributes to the originality and beauty of my redesigned banknotes.
2013: The font was used by Ohio University Communications and Marketing for the new branding commercials in academic year 2013/14. Serbiana was applied on Ohio University’s web site, T-shirts, catalogs, flyers, and badges.

Homage to Typography on the Serbian and Yugoslav Banknotes
digital collages, 2012
These two compositions are my homage to typography of Serbian and Yugoslav dinars. Numerous typefaces (titles and denominations) were taken from the various banknotes from different time periods of my country: Principality, Kingdom, Republic; Democracy, Communism, Socialism, Democracy. Composition which is darker symbolizes obverses on the banknotes, while the next, brighter collage represents their reverses. All the scanned paper money that I used for these two digital collages are courtesy of the Treasury of the National Bank of Serbia in Belgrade.

MFA Thesis – Graphic Ambassadors of a Country
historic overview of the previous designs of money in Serbia and Yugoslavia, 2011-2012
My thesis research focused on money and redesign of the Serbian national currency – the dinar. I consider banknotes and coins ambassadors of every country because on them one can read about a country’s culture, history, and nature. This thesis was made in collaboration with the National Bank of Serbia in Belgrade. Since I wanted to better understand the previous designs of money in Serbia and Yugoslavia, I also wrote a historic overview in collaboration with the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, the National Museum, Belgrade, the Museum of Vojvodina, Novi Sad, Serbia, the National Museum, Niš, Serbia, the Museum of Srem, Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, the National Museum, Požarevac, Serbia, the City Museum of Vršac, Vršac, Serbia, the Nikola Tesla Museum, Belgrade, the Museum of Herzegovina, Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Museum of Kozara, Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Regional Museum, Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Regional Museum, Gradiška, Bosnia and Herzegovina. My thesis was exhibited at the Ohio University Art Gallery in Athens, Ohio in 2012. The more developed versions of the project were shown in 2013 at the Omega Gallery, Carson-Newman University, Jefferson City, Tennessee, and at the Sleeth Gallery, West Virginia Wesleyan College, Buckhannon, West Virginia in 2017.

Abandoned
artist’s book, 2010
This artist’s book is inspired by the tragic dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1995), and the economic depression caused by the political chaos. During that time, common people grew drastically poor, while the aggressive politicians and their families got rich. National currencies lost their value and meaning, causing the disaster of the banking sector, so everybody saved German marks, Swiss francs or American dollars in secret places such as drawers, tills and mattresses. Some people even used to cut holes in the text blocks of books and kept their money for the insecure days there. Nobody believed in the banks especially in Serbia when hyperinflation reached its zenith in 1993. The biggest banknote from that period was for 500,000,000,000 (five hundred billion) dinars. Sadly, everybody was a millionaire, or ironically a billionaire, but in fact without a penny in his/her pocket. For one month’s salary my mother, who was a professor of Serbian, could buy one egg! Galloping hyperinflation killed the Serbian currency and market. My book reminds us of that sad period of recent history in order to never forget how common people lived there in those difficult times. It also represents a warning for every hot-blooded person who thinks that civil war is something necessary and romantic. I have been writing and publishing aphorisms, jokes, and satires in Serbian daily and satirical newspapers since 1999. Abandoned combines my sense of humor with my graphic design and bookbinding skills. The pages are taken from an old typographic catalogue and represent all kind of typefaces. The secret compartment is designed to keep a lot of banknotes, but there is only one $1 US bill to symbolize the poverty of those days. Using proportions from the US dollar, I made the rectangular hole with a scalpel. On the bottom of the secret compartment is a light green paper which symbolizes the color of American money. But instead of a stash of precious dollars resistant to wild hyperinflation, there is a triptych hidden behind that one dollar bill – a picture of three malicious dictators: Franjo Tuđman, Alija Izetbegović and Slobodan Milošević. Their portraits are with smiles, but those smiles represent the real nature of their characters – evilness and greed. These are people who cannot even laugh naturally without grimaces. On the triptych which I made in Adobe Photoshop, I wrote the text in Serbian and Croatian (Serbo-Croatian): SVE SMO VAM UZELI! Translated into English, that text means: WE TOOK ALL (FROM YOU)! The cover of the book is made of thick ochre cardboard so the book looks more like a real wooden box. Abandoned is bound by three screws in order not to be opened – I don’t want anybody to take my money from the secret stash. The screws are connected with English word screw because those wild politicians screwed us during the 1990s and we still suffer because of their horrible mistakes. The name Abandoned evolved from a mind-map process. It is related to the main feeling of my whole generation: we are penniless and without a future. I used the font Stencil to manually print the title. This typeface is common for boxes and packages. Abandoned is included in the permanent collection of artistic books at the Archives and Special Collections Vernon R. Alden Library, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, USA.

This is an example of my bookbinding skills. I used denim from a pair of my old jeans. This material is unusual in bookbinding.
Everything in My Head at this Moment
artist’s book, 2010
Humor is very often present in my artwork. On this page, you can see two manually produced books from the series Everything in My Head at this Moment. The viewer expects that these books are full of my thoughts and ideas but, in fact, the pages are completely blank. In that way, I wanted to make a joke. The simple black cover page strengthens the “reader’s” attention to the empty pages of this “book.”
Aphoristic Greeting Card
a typographic artwork, 2010
I manually printed this typographic piece at a letterpress studio at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. I am also the author of the aphorism that is printed on the card. The Aphoristic Greeting Card has green, “watery” letters, which are related with the seawater from the joke. This work stems from my aphorisms and jokes that were published in satirical and daily newspapers in Belgrade, Serbia: Jež, Naša Krmača, Politika, and Borba.

No Money, No Food!
a typographic artwork, 2010
This typographic composition expresses my taught about void. I deliberately erased several O’s from the text. With its circular shape, the letter O symbolizes a coin. The absence of the letter O in the word money represents a lack of financial stability. Without money in your pocket, you cannot buy any food. The penniless artist cannot be very creative and that is why the letters are black and simple. The lack of financial security causes the absence of inspiration.

Chroma
book, 2010
Chroma is the result of my color and theoretical research. I concentrated on brown and ocher because in those colors are incorporated other colors: yellow, orange, red and black. Brown and ocher are all around us: soil, rocks, sand, fall, baked meat, nuts, coffee, chocolate… Using these powerful colors, I wanted to show all the possibilities of gradients and shades. Through numerous abstract compositions, I explored alignment, repetition, chiaroscuro, harmony, contrast, convex and concave shapes. I was interested in exploring color phenomena through geometry, patterns, and grids, so this book is a logical continuance of work that I presented in my first book, The Grid. The basic element of all these brown compositions is a column consisting of twelve irregular polygons. From the bottom to the top of the column, each polygon becomes brighter. I originally painted it with brush and tempera on paper, and then I scanned that piece and imported it into Adobe Photoshop.

Color Explorations in Value
first image: tempera on paper, 2000
second and third composition: digital art, 2010
Value is used to make the illusion of light. The value is lightness or darkness of a color. To make a gradient with ten different color values, is a class assignment required in every art school in the world. That exercise helps to understand the color theory. Using the brush and tempera, I made eighteen different values of blue. Instead of simple squares, I used “arrows” for my steps. These pointed shapes additionally emphasize the gradual change of blue from the bottom to the top showing the shades (the dark values) and the tints (the light values). (A shade is a mixture of a color with black, while a tint is a mixture with white.) The highlights and shadows create the illusion of light source. The next two compositions were created on the computer. I scanned the paper with my gradient and imported it into Adobe Photoshop, where I played with position and direction of the color bars.
The Grid
book, 2009
Тhis book is an outcome of my visual and theoretical research about the applicability of the grid in graphic systems. The use of the grid in graphic design and typography is very common; it is used for layout of books and magazines, and it is unavoidable in shaping graphic products that belong to the same series. Using the proportions of the grid, the graphic designer is capable to meticulously mantain the visual consistency of the series, while the client, or the receiver of the message, can easier read thе series. A series of postage stamps, banknotes or coins is a typical example of the use of the grid, where a graphic element, for instance, denomination – because of the consistency of the series – always appears in the same spot and the same size. Banknotes, coins and postage stamps that belong to a series can be distinguished by the motif, color, or size. However, the grid should not be turned into “prison bars” that will with their vertical and horizontal lines limit the designer’s creativity and imagination. Grids are a great help in graphic design, but they should not turn into a constraining tool. However, the compositions in this book are neither banknotes nor postage stamps. I wanted to avoid traditional graphic products and therefore I dealt with abstract compositions and patterns. Through diverse geometrical drawings, I played with the grid: to which extent is it a help, and when does it become an artist’s “cage”? As well, I was interested to explore to which extent the line, shape, and composition can contribute to the dynamic of the drawing. For that reason, all the compositions are conceived as sketches on a piece of paper, drawn by a B-pencil, and improved and finished in Adobe Illustrator. The black and white book is a compilation of the best sixty compositions, created during my research process on the grid. It has 86 pages, while the format is 8 x 8.5 inches (20.3 x 21.6 cm). The Grid is included in the collection of artistic books at the Archives and Special Collections Vernon R. Alden Library, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, USA.

catalog and invitation card for my solo exhibition, 2009
These photographs were taken during my travels through Bosnia. Seventy photographs were exhibited at my solo photo expositions The Land of Miracles at Museum of Kozara, Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Regional Museum, Gradiška, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and V. I. P. Art Gallery, Student Cultural Center, Belgrade, Serbia in 2009. I had the honor that Her Excellency, Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Serbia, opened my exhibition in downtown Belgrade. The show was very well publicized on TV and in newspapers: Radio Television of Republic of Srpska, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, EuroBlic, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kozarski Vjesnik, Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The success was even greater when I sold sixteen framed photographs in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Rural Versus Urban

The awarded photograph suggests that if wild and domestic animals can live together, why people of different races, religion and ethnicity could not do the same? This picture was taken in Teslić, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was exhibited at the Exit music festival. (In 2006, The Guardian, a daily newspaper from London, declared Exit as the best festival in the world while CNN included Exit on the list of nine best festivals in the world. The Sun, London and EuroNews proclaimed it as one of the top ten music festivals in Europe.)

This company is selling electrical equipment and installations, so they wanted a wall and table calendar with the elements of electric power. I was the author of the photograph, in which you can see a traffic light, transformer, wires, and neon lights. There are two clouds on the top: snowy and rainy. The idea behind these illustrations is that hydro plants produce more electric power when the level of rivers and lakes is higher due to snowing and raining.

Marshal Tito
documentary photograph, 2007
The territory of the former Yugoslavia went through a period of great instability due to the lack of ethnic and religious tolerance, which is obvious in this photo. The photograph was deliberately created during the “blue” dusk in order to emphasize the feeling of sadness. It was taken in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Josip Broz Tito was a Yugoslav communist revolutionary and leader of Socialist Yugoslavia from 1943 until his death in 1980.

I am the author of this photograph and cover design for McBride’s book on philosophy. The original title in English is From Yugoslav Praxis to Global Pathos: Anti-Hegemonic Post-Post-Marxist Essays. William McBride is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University, College of Liberal Arts, West Lafayette, Indiana. My photo shows the steam locomotive Proleterka which was part of Josip Broz Tito’s train at Oštrelj near Bosanski Petrovac in Bosnia. The partisans’ train from WW2 was unfortunately damaged during the Yugoslav civil war and that is why the publisher accepted this sad motif for the cover page.
