E-mail: boris@studio-international.com Since 1970, Boris Ljubičić has dedicated his work to visual research in graphic design and visual communications. His radical works, adapted to some extent after several years, have been extensively used in Croatia and abroad. The first project was the visual identity of the VIII Mediterranean Games in Split in 1979, whose sign and flag have become a permanent standard of all sports games of Mediterranean countries. His striving for absolute solutions and broad applications is characterised by a civilisational and educational shift into the future. Many of these works received international awards, recognitions and exhibitions in: Amsterdam, Berlin, Brno, Celje, Chaumount, Chile, Cincinatty, Crikvenica, Čakovec, Dublin, Dubrovnik, Essen, Ferara, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Kiew, Kobenhaven, Lahti, Le Mons, Lisabon, Ljubljana, Los Angeles, Mexico, Milan, Munich, New York, Osaka, Osijek, Opatija, Paris, Portorož, Pula, Rijeka, Split, Stuttgart, Taipei, Tel Aviv, Tokio, Toyama, Vancouver, Varaždin, Washington, Warszava, Zagreb. Since 1990. his most important project is visual identity of the Republic of Croatia.
