Your Brand's Story, Told Like Never Before

In summer 2024 Manuscripts and Special Collections at the University of Nottingham curated an exhibition about the Loughborough Parish Library, a collection of rare books printed between 1500–1800. The exhibition celebrated the storytelling power of woodcuts and engravings printed in old books. In support of this brief ReVibe Studio designed a suite of animated GIFs based on images of phoenix birds. In Early Modern printed books, a phoenix appears sometimes on title pages, in printer’s devices and even in ornaments. ReVibe Studio’s GIFs transformed people’s perception of the images. The shapes of the old designs moved and flapped in intuitive new ways, adding a digital twist to the print look. Innovative designs such as the GIFs connected with our audiences. We built a treasure hunt-type game around the GIFs for the junior visitors and their families. It was great to use ReVibe Studio’s input in the exhibition.

"Milena is an incredibly talented graphic designer, an excellent communicator, and a true creative professional. Her work is visually stunning and her technical skill shines through in every project. Milena has an exceptional eye for design and she goes above and beyond to create work that stands out and that stands the test of time. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!"

"It was a privilege to work with Milena on the project ‘Post-Socialist Britain’ and the illustrated book ‘Unfamiliar’. She worked closely with the research team and the brief we provided and contributed her own creativity and ideas. The end result brings our research findings to life and serves as an innovative resource for young people to learn about the lived experience of migration."
