_I am still learning 

Hello! I am Csenge, a Hungarian girl, growing up in Romania in a big family. 

I am a graphic designer and “I am still learning” is my favourite quote by Michelangelo 

and I relate what he said cause I think in design (as well as in other 

disciplines) there is always something new for us to learn, whether if you’re 

a student, a professional or a well-known designer. This attitude will keep us 

fresh and help us to broaden our horizons. There’s always something new out 

there waiting for us to discover!

_perfume for Flash typface 

_selected works 

_Flash 

_parfum design for a typeface 

_pattern design 

_Flash parfum 

DesignThinking_ Flash ND is part of Neufville Digital’s GRAFÍA 

LATINA Collection. Designers: Enric Crous-Vidal 1953 

A display typeface containing capitals, lining figures and punctuation. 

It is a typical headline and poster font. The typeface design is 

based upon the elements ‘light’ and ‘shadow’ producing a powerful 

contrast with a special harmony, giving an impression of a third 

dimension. 

The project target was to create a parfum design for this typface, 

using the typface atmosphere.

_CD packaging for the Dream On cover by Depeche Mode. 

DesignThinking_The Dream On song transmits the ambiguity of feelings, 

billowing of the life. I try to symbolize these main caracteristics 

of the song, the melancoly and the ambiguity of love, the waves of 

emotions. I chose the red (love) and blue (waves, eternal like water, 

unpredictable can rise up but there is the deep down) colors. With 

the fluid feminine “waves” I chose a “masculine” strong typography. 

In the booklet I specially focus on forming a constructivist layout, 

playing with text blocks and rectangular pictures.

_visual identity for The Nobody Elses Hungarian band, for 

the album The Soul Piper And The Mischievous Spirit 

DesignThinking_The The Nobody Elses band is a young band from 

Transylvania. Their style is an intresting mix with rock, psychedelic 

music and surfpunk. For the matter, in the workflow I concentrate 

in emphasizing on the psychedelic aspect of their music, to use the 

effect of them song, to transmit the psychedelic sensation.

DesignThinking_This project is far away from graphic area (two dimensional 

works), but I do like to work with real life materials, to feel the 

forms and shapes, it was a good experience to feel the difference between 

two dimensional and three diemnsional concepts. During the workflow, I 

kept in sight and mind the waving lines of the fungi.

_experimental serigraphy printing 

_Printing_I’m quite familiar with serigraphy. This technique requires 

a lot of precision. On the contrary, it also gives the artist 

much freedom for creativity. This contrast fascinates me. I did 

this work during my internship time in Printa Studio-Budapest. 

My favourite part was the experimental free printing...

_Printing_ These designs were made during my internship time in 

Printa design studio, where I learned the technique of serigraphy. I 

learned how to apply this technique onto different materials: wood, 

fabric. Besides learning about serigraphy, in this studio I learned 

about the ideology of zero waste design, which changed the way how 

I see design and the market. 

*Printa is one of the first environmentally conscious brands in Hungary 

that is engaged in designing and making a wide range of products.Be it 

a souvenir, a piece of clothing, accessories or graphics, their ideology is 

predominantly based on three main words: Budapest, eco-fashion and silkscreen 

printing.

_interactive graphic design 


_Los Zapf 

_interactive design_icon design 

_UI desig_mobile application 

_web interface 

_Zapf.app mobile application 

This is my first work in UI design area, I really enjoyed to explore the 

wireframe size and the interactive part of all this. With this project I 

started to learn how to work the program, InVision (still in process...) 

The Zapf.app interface design I created under my schoolarship in 

UPV/EHU Facultad de Bellas Artes, the target of this project was to 

meet with the interactive graphic design, and in the same time learn 

about the Zapf designer couple. 

+ + + 

DesignThinking_ The Zapf.app is a mobile application with educational 

role. The target of the application is to give a comprehensive 

image about the Zapf couple: about theirs design, innovates and 

about theirs life. 

The app design uses their typographical work to celebrate 

Gudrun Zapf von Hesse 100th birthday. 

The visual aspect of the app design is inspired by the use of 

Herman’s typface Palatino Linotype typefamily and the use of Herman’s 

Zapfino Dingbats. In the workflow, I aimed to bring out their 

characteristic typography: their finely delicate lines with a dynamic 

approach.

_logo 

The logo for the application is a typographical 

symbol which I aimed to 

create with handwriting letter effect. I 

used the Palatino Linotype font family 

with different letter forms (Bold Italic,Bold, 

Italic, Regular) 

_color and combination 

At the heart of colors for more flexible 

handling of the application, as well as 

creating a paperlike effect, which is 

connected to the handwriting process 

in typography. The blue colour also 

symbolizes handwriting as a representation 

of an ink colour.

_typography 

The Palatino typeface was first designed 

over 50 years ago by Hermann 

Zapf, and is probably the most universally 

admired and used of his type 

designs. In 1950, it was punchcut in 

metal by August Rosenberger, and 

then adapted for Linotype machine 

composition. Palatino is a typeface 

based on classical Italian Renaissance 

forms. It has become a modern classic 

in itself. Works well for both text and 

display typography.

_lamp designing 

DesignThinking_ Karl Blossfeld is my favourite photographer, I am 

amazed by his photos about organic forms, flowers and small details. 

His photos inspired to find a shape for a lighting objects. I use 

natural material like paper, wood, iron, and corkwood, with origami 

technique influence.

Marcell Prousts - Swan’s Way book design

The concept for the 

invitation card was to

symbolise the gaps in 

the memories. I aimed 

to emphasize the remembrance 

and its 

difficulties, as references 

to the symbolic 

message of the novel.

DesignThinking_ Crama Basilescu is a Romanian winery. This label 

was created to commercialize their Epoque wine. The label is really 

simple, I played with the simplicity of the Epoque naming, highlighting 

the real SECRET of a good wine are its grapes.
