Designer
Having a shifty work schedule keeps my spirit active.
I admire the stability and permanence of the written word.
Graffiti helped me draw lines, directions, styles, and images with my personal gestures.
The Brand Identity interviews Athens-based freelance designer and art director Filippos Fragkogiannis about his independent, type-driven practice. He discusses the freedoms and challenges of freelancing, his academic journey, and how writing, typography, and graffiti have shaped his creative philosophy. The conversation highlights his methodical yet expressive approach to design and self-reliant working style.
Designers Georgia Harizani and Filippos Fragkogiannis collaborated on a yearly planner for AkzoNobel Coatings SA, using the brand’s 2021 colour Brave Ground. The project contrasts the stable tone with a playful typographic structure and tactile materials, designed for professionals like architects and engineers. Helvetica Neue and Curious Collection paper were used to balance tradition and modernity.
