The Čista desetka (Perfect Ten) project was created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of a renowned private painting school led by illustrator, designer, and exceptional educator Blaž Slapar. To mark this jubilee, a comprehensive print series was designed, including two different catalogs and a collection of calendars. This showcase highlights the main, large-format catalog, which serves as an extensive retrospective of a decade of creativity. Its purpose is to present the best work of all the students who attended the school's programs over the years, while also spotlighting each year's winners and the expert jury that evaluated and selected the pieces.
The design concept for the cover and inside pages directly stems from the essence of the painting school itself—a beautiful interplay of countless individual artistic expressions that together form a larger story. The central visual element on the cover is the number 10, constructed from a playful collage of tiny images scaled down to pixel level. This mosaic visually illustrates how each student's unique piece contributed to the whole and to the success of the school's ten-year journey. Inside, a clean graphic layout allows the extensive imagery to breathe and maintain its full artistic impact.
