Writing or the making of Vladimir Vissotzky
Sometimes you just’ve got an idea immediately and you can finish a review or whatever in 10 minutes, but sometimes it take a long time and even fingers don’t wanna listen to you. This is a strange thing about writing.
I’ve never thought I could write or something, especially in English. It was always a pleasure to have a best result in essay in Russian literature and the worst result in Russian grammar.
But now the times they are a-changin’ and instead of being magazine designer I’m going to be something like a ‘journalist’ soon.
Writing it's easy thing to do. You need nothing except a computer with a Word program and a gmail, everybody can do it, and you have always something to tell people.
Writing became popular. In glossy magazines you're finding huge features about YOUR OWN BOOK PUBLISHING, lots of people just writing their own scripts or just... something... or whatever.
It’s probably the same like with a digital camera in early 2000-s. One day we woke up and realized that now everyone can shoot, create pictures, make films.
But even with all these brilliant facilities quality staying in the same level. No genius. No new talents. We still look back for the inspiration.
But hope its gonna change somehow.
Here is our ‘long and winding road’ of making Vissotzky t-shirt.
That’s right being creative not’s that easy.
First we've chosen the picture.
Then the design.
I was thinking about literature aspect, cause its very important for Russian music and Vissotzky as well.
Hamlet dialog, why not ?!
Picture was not the best resolution so i even try some illustration with a scriptographer.
But we happy with a result.

Vladimir
The only one person in Russian culture who is this important to everyone as it is Vladimir Vissotzky.
He was a popular theatre and cinema actor, a musician, a bard and also the first Russian rock-star. He is probably less important for music history than Viktor Tsoy, but somebody more for the whole Soviet culture for sure! He had his own special way of singing, special way of acting and of living. A man with a strong charisma, he charmed all soviet people. You could find posters of Vissotsky almost everywhere. Of course, all women were crazy about him!
He died from a heart attack while he was sleeping. It was a time of the Olympic games in Moscow (1980) so nobody actually wrote a necrologue and the only one who did it, was fired immediately. His third wife Marina Vladi, the celebrated french actress, wanted to take his heart with her to Paris but she was not allowed to do so.
Many years later people still remember him and celebrate his birthday by bringing flowers to his tombstone.
GIRLS FROM OMSK wanted to pay tribute to this Soviet legend in their next fall collection.
The image we used of the one with the skull as one of Vladimir's main acting roles was Hamlet in the Taganka theatre in Moscow. During the making of the print we tried many variations with colors, collages and typography. In the end we decided to stick this version: pure and simple: just a huge image without any elements, only a great face of a great human being!
Have a look on some old videos of him. You might not understand the lyrics, but believe me, they are strong!
