MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

Switch > International Campaign on Light Pollution

Switch > is an International campaign launched to reduce and solve the problem of light pollution, that grew drastically in the past few decades with the urbanization and rapid growth of cities. Light pollution became one of the biggest environmental issues, causing many negative impacts, affecting not only.
The goal of this project is to bring awareness by introducing the public to light pollution, its types, causes and consequences. Furthermore, the goal is to evoke a social responsibility to initiate changes and alter human environmental behaviour by changing their habits, so people can consciously start taking action and work together on solving this problem.

About the designer

My name is Anastasiia Krasnova. I am a graphic designer interested in print & digital as well as interactive design and animation. My design ideas are inspired by different cultures and world issues. I believe that design is a powerful tool and a universal language that allows us to communicate across different cultures and countries, erasing borders, and that is what drives me for my profession. I always strive to learn new things and challenge myself to continuously grow as a designer and to be able to create a positive lasting impact through my work.

Interactive Installation & Infographic Posters

This infographic poster visualizes statistics about the artificial light impact on natural rhythms and behaviour patterns of wildlife. Although based on numerical data, the posters can appeal to any type of the audience, as the written part is also supported by graphic visuals, helping understands the topic better.

This infographic poster visualizes statistics about the most impacting light pollution cities. It showcases the brightest cities compared to the global urban average brightness.

This infographic poster visualizes statistics about CO2 emissions from electricity and light production.

These cards have a glow-in-the-dark feature that reveals statistics about light pollution when it is dark. To see more you need to turn off lights, referring to the necessity of reducing wasteful usage of artificial light to see the beauty of the night.

This interactive installation explores the relationship between natural and artificial night light sources and how one prevents us from seeing the other. It creates a metaphor for the consequences of light pollution and explores human behaviour towards the issue, leaving participants with the responsibility of making decisions.
