Having officially completed the semester 2 assignments I decided to spend a few days working on one of my personal project ideas.
I wanted to design and print a series of business cards for myself but I needed some artwork to go on the back. And some time ago I came across an interesting idea. I saw a set of typographic ice cubes trays in my local artshop and instantly imagined artistic photography featuring frozen letterforms. The ice-letters could by coloured by freezing fruit juices and then placed in glasses with water. With a bit of experimentation with light and angles, it could produce interesting results.
I would like to create an entire range of business cards with different images at the back. I am still thinking about a selection of words to be made out of ice cubes. It has to be a cross between design buzzwords and frozen liquidity. I am considering: design, liquid, ideas, art and type (not very original but at least they're short). Any suggestions?

About Me
- Katarzyna Matuszewska
- I grew up in a small town in Poland believing that the only boundaries that should not be crossed were those which I set up for myself. Now, living in the cultural blur of a cosmopolitan city I stick to that rule. I cross boundaries between cultures, languages, between print and web, between journalism and design in search of original creative fusions. I graduated from University of Westminster in 2010 with a Masters Degree with Distinction in Design for Communication. I also hold a First Class BA in Journalism with Media and Cultural Studies from Kingston University, which gives me a combined knowledge of editorial and design practices. Having previously worked for The Sunday Times Magazine, Haymarket and Think Publishing, I have experience in publishing and design industries and a strong passion for editorial design. I am a great (bilingual) communicator, a competent writer and a designer. I produce imaginative magazine layouts to convey the publication‘s editorial mission and specialise in magazine launch and redesign projects. If you think your organisation could benefit from my knowledge and experience, please get in touch.
