Hello,My name is Jakub Stępień. I work as a freelancer in brodaly-defined graphic design. For the last ten years I have been creat-ing my own Hakobo Studio.

Throughout this time I worked on various projects from nearly all of the commercial art do-mains. Such a wide scope of work was a fully con-scious decision, because I think that diversity is a way to enrich the final ef-fect of design projects.

My works are distin-guished by their original-ity and powerful impact on the viewer, as well as ease of designing innova-tive solutions and ability to put them into practice.

I work with private clients, companies and advertis-ing agencies, specializing in cultural projects carried out for festivals, galleries and cultural institutions, as well as for corpora-tions and private clients.

I ensure global service, making use of advanced production facilities.

I cooperate with promi-nent specialists from many disciplines, includ-ing web developers, photographers, fashion designers, film-makers and PR agencies.

The goal of my work is to build an effective image of an idea, brand or event. I focus on communicating the message in an appro-priately intriguing form.

The entire design process is under my full control – from analysis and inspira-tion, concept and creation to production supervision and implementation of fin-ished solutions. I design both limited editions and projects meant for mass-production.

My works have been presented in numerous publications and exhibi-tions around the world. Every year I create a new limited clothing collection: www.hakobo.pl

I am always ready to face new challenges and opportunities.

(...) Why skateboarding? Because it is one of the numerous dimensions that Hakobo’s art derives from. Neo-plasticism is another. Constructivism, avant-garde, op-art, psy-chedelic art, hip hop, vi-deo games, minimal – are some more that his output stems from. Incidentally, Hakobo’s minimal some-times gets blown up to be shattered into a thousand pieces and becomes “ma-ximal”. There is no other Polish designer I can think of who would so efficien-tly tame the multidimen-sionality of today’s reality, with its permeating orders and multitude of parallel worlds, each governed by its own aesthetics. There is no other designer who would be equally effi-cient in transgressing the seeming contradiction between what is digital and what is analogue, between the abstraction of information and the substance of visual acts. Hakobo is modern. Ha-kobo is a futurist – ecept that his future is now. (...)Stach Szabłowski

HAKOBO (born 1976) is currently listed among the world’s top fifty most important poster artists (according to John Foster, author of New Masters of Poster Design: Poster Design for the Next Century). He feels at home in visual identity, activities border-ing art and design and the generally understood utalitarian graphics. He collaborates with many cultural institutions in Po-land, e.g. The Art Museum in Łódź, CSW Zamek Ujazdowski, Design Gal-lery BWA Wrocław.He has a characteristic style, inspired by tradi-tional graphic crafts as well as street culture. His collection of works con-sists of both disciplined, simple arrangements and those inspired by his fascination with camou-flage, graphic noiz and the excessive.

HGW:HAKOBOGRAPHICWORLDis Jakub Stępień’s first monogra-phic publication in the form of an artistic book. It covers a catalogue of Hakobo’s numerous projects – posters, visual ID’s, exhibition layouts, publications, as well as the limited edition of clothes and accessories. The attractively desi-gned album breaks away with the tradition of “artist’s catalogue” and shows Hakobo’s output as a clear aesthetic system, consisten-tly displayed in his works.
