Interview: Adam Rakićević, co-author of the exibition ''The Platform''
A poster has been slightly neglected nowadays. It is rather abandoned, but still, it is a medium which has not lost its power to get through people, because people, having perceptive characteristics, love 'to feel' design. On the other hand, an author possesses enough room to create a message, to provide his own personal touch, to reach the audience with his own story...

The exhibition 'The Platform' ("Peron"), whose authors are Adam Rakićević and Nenad Prokić, was opened on January 25th in the art establishment Vuk Karadžić. The works exposed are graphics and photographs made by two senior students who are majoring in print media design at theMetropolitan University and the works were made during their studies. Aiming to represent their own perspective on the graphic design, they combined contemporary and classic techniques in the work, creating the grounds for further working in the sphere of their interest - design.
Adam Rakićević, one of the authors, speaks for WAVE magazine about the reasons for choosing posters, a symbolic title of their exhibition, their perspectives on design and the changes they strive for.
How did you choose the title of your exhibition "The Platform"("Peron") - are there any symbolism?
- There is a symbolism in the title, and it is very direct. "The Platform" as an exhibition is a start of a new epoch for two of us, our starting point, maybe even springboard into the world of design, because it is also the first associated independent exposition.
Why did you opt for a poster as a mean of representing your work?
- A poster has beenslightly neglected nowadays. It is rather abandoned, but still, it is a medium which has not lost its power to get through people, because people, having perceptive characteristics, love 'to feel' design. On the other hand, an author possesses enough room to create a message, to provide his own personal touch, to reach the audience with his own story.
Artists usually decide to combine styles/techniques/approaches in their work. Are there any reasons for which 'pure forms' are bypassed? Maybe that is a way to be more creative?
- There certainly is a reason for which 'pure forms' are bypassed, and that is the way for accomplishing more creativity. Sheer knowledge on the rules related to the styles and techniques of designing, following and applying them, provide what was once called a basis for craftsmanship. Therefore, each bypassing and combining offers new solutions, setting new boundaries which will be also surpassed at some point.
An artist is always characterized by the need to express his OWN perspective on art and creation. What aspect did you want to emphasize during your work?
- Graphic design is a part of everyone's everyday life, which is indeed a main focus of our work. To put it simply, it is the details from life which surrounds us and the life which awaits us.
These works were created during your studying. Weren't you given a chance to present them earlier? How do you find ways for your own promotion?
- We did have a few occasions, but those were only group exhibitions, where the authorship fades away, but still, it is a chance for the public to become introduced with our work and activities. I would like to thank all the professors who recognized the potential in us and devoted significant attention to us. As beginners, we must rely on our own qualities, desires and acquaintances. I would especially like tothank a molecular biologist and painter Predrag Vitezović.
What are the other ways of your stepping out into the public sphere using your works? Are there any additional changes you would like to make?
- Perhaps we cannot change the world and rescue it, but we can refine people who represent the public and who represent our future.
