Design Approach
Filippos Fragkogiannis takes a research-based approach to his graphic design practice, exploring semiotics, symbolism and the mechanics of visual language. This approach could be described as sharp, transparent and plain-spoken.
He aims for the outcome to be direct and honest, serving its purpose and getting the message across in a straightforward manner. He is all for simple, truthful and type-centered design.
Inspired by the International Typographic Style, Filippos develops a creative methodology that moves from research and accumulation to condensation and abstraction. In our saturated times, his intention is to communicate messages that speak a universal language and appeal to a wider audience.
