graphic designer
& illustrator

    
    My name is Emma Krajc and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I started out as a self-taught artist for many years until I found a calling in design, however I like to think it found me. I began my studies at UArts until its closure and finished my degree in Graphic Design at Drexel University. 

    In that time, I had my hands in a few different projects that ranged from branding to product design and a little bit of everything in between. I have a personal interest in film and history that I feel are sources of inspiration to me within my own work. I like to always stay curious and learn new skills. 

    That being said, I'm currently teaching myself how to code and working to further expand my knowledge within a broader vision of design. It is my goal to continue to bring a open and fresh perspective within all of my future work. If you like what you see, I look forward to working on new and exciting projects so don’t be afraid to connect!





01 VELVET CURTAIN FILM FESTIVAL

BRANDING/PUBLICATION
2025
    The mission for this project was to showcase Czechoslovak films during the New Wave movement from 1963-1968 and onwards. Through the branding of a fictional film festival, the focus broadened to films from all over the world, that inspire social upheaval and reject outdated and narrow minded ideologies. Utilizing the theater as a soapbox for commentative discussion and critical thinking with each month featuring a different culture and film genre with the current month’s theme being Czechoslovak New Wave film. 

    The branding was heavily inspired by New Wave graphic designers such as April Greiman and Wolfgang Weingart as well as the original posters from the films. One of the biggest challenges was how to incorporate both English and Czechoslovak into the system without taking too much away from one another and remaining cohesive. Through the use of color and different typefaces, I was able to effectively communicate the different languages without affecting the overall design choices.
