GRAPHIC | 2013 | Poster
Visual identity and poster for the 17th National Graphic Design Biennale.
For the 17th National Graphic Design Biennale, I created a playful concept based on the visual logic of the Ishihara color vision test: arranging colored pencil tips in circular compositions to reference the interrelations between sight, perception, cognition, and reception. The design also alludes to how play, illusion, and interpretation are central elements of graphic design.
My name is Veronika Szász. I work as a freelance graphic designer, musician, and art educator based in Budapest, Hungary.
I began my studies at the Secondary School of Visual Arts, where I specialized in bookbinding and restoration. Between 2008 and 2014, I studied graphic design at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, earning my degrees in Graphic Arts and Art Education.
Since then, I have continued expanding my expertise through further training and artistic practice, with the intention of developing a comprehensive professional and human understanding that allows me to work with both passion and depth. My goal is to approach my professions with sensitivity and integrity — and to empower others through them as well.
Since 2014, I have been working as a freelance graphic designer. My practice focuses on visual identity design, with a special interest in personal, cultural, and ethically responsible brands that embody sustainability and collaboration.
My autonomous graphic works seek a balance between classical values and contemporary aesthetics, exploring human and cultural continuity through empathy, attentiveness, and sensitivity to detail.
Between 2015 and 2020, I taught design practice at the Secondary School of Visual Arts, and from 2021 to 2025, I lectured on visual identity design at Corvinus University of Budapest, where I also contributed to the Executive MBA Disruptive Development Program with modules from my own workshop series.
Since 2024, I have been a lecturer at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, teaching illustration.
In addition, since 2015, I have regularly led workshops on visual communication, creativity development, and self-awareness, which I continually refine through professional experience and advanced training.
Since 2018, I have been active as a performing musician, presenting my original compositions both as a solo artist and in various ensembles.
My music moves along the boundaries of Hungarian folk tradition interwoven with world music, improvisational jazz, experimental electronics, and indie pop, seeking a balance between tradition and contemporary sound.
Alongside my concerts, I have created numerous interactive, interdisciplinary performances, where I engage the audience through drawing-based participatory games that explore identity, self-expression, and connection.
