About
Filippos Fragkogiannis is a freelance graphic designer and art director, based in Athens. He holds an MA in Visual Communication, and a BA in Graphic Design from Vakalo College and the University of Derby.
Having collaborated with acclaimed graphic and type designers, on April 16th 2019 he established his own practice. His research-based approach is rooted in semiotics, symbolism and the mechanics of visual language. His projects center around visual identities, posters, and print collateral, and he regularly enhances type foundries with bold imagery.
In 2018, he founded Certain Magazine, an independent curatorial platform that chronicles contemporary graphic design and celebrates handpicked design projects from around the world.
Approach
"My design approach could be described as sharp, transparent, and plain-spoken. I want the outcome to be direct and honest, to serve its purpose, and get the message across in a straightforward manner.
I’m all for a simple, truthful, and type-centered design. I develop a creative methodology that moves from research and accumulation to condensation and abstraction. In our saturated times, my intention is to communicate messages that speak a universal language and appeal to a wider audience."
