Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Automat Studio led the full art direction and development of the project’s visual ecosystem. This included strategic planning of the visual narrative, editorial design (complete layout, typographic system, and print prepress for a 300+ page publication), creation of 40+ original illustrations and visual motifs, and full UI/UX design for srpskikod.org.

They also created a reusable template and layout rule-set so future editions and new chapters could be produced consistently

The key challenge was “visual engineering”—how to transform a traditional “code” into the logic and elements of a strategy game, while keeping the content serious, clear, and highly readable. The final output was built as a robust system, enabling later expansions without losing identity or coherence.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Traditional motifs became accessible to younger audiences through a game-like narrative, without trivializing the content.

Strong visual consistency between the book and web portal—one system performs equally well in print and digital.

Public recognition and visibility through major cultural channels; design became a key differentiator and raised perceived value.

Long-term durability—the design still feels modern and relevant years later, even after expanded editions.

Faster orientation through content on the web portal due to clear hierarchy and “game-logic” navigation. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Communication felt like a strategic partnership. I had direct access to the Art Director (Milan), which eliminated noise and accelerated decision-making. Automat Studio delivered within agreed timelines, responded quickly to feedback, and proactively took ownership when aligning design decisions with demanding print-production processes or web-related technical constraints.

What was your primary form of communication with Automat?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Most impressive is their ability to synthesize strategy with top-tier aesthetics. They don’t just do graphic design—they engineer a visual system for complex content. Very few teams can combine editorial complexity (concepts, structure, hierarchy) with original illustration, and then translate it to the web without sacrificing quality.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

No.

Automat Studio led the project end-to-end: brand refinement, art direction, information architecture, UX/UI design, and full web development. They created a multi-section website with consistent navigation and reusable layouts. What made the biggest difference is how they elevated my already strong visual material: through curation, tonal consistency, typography, and composition, they turned it into a unified editorial/cinematic experience, without sacrificing usability, readability, or speed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The website became my main professional hub—one link replaced long email threads, attachments, and repeated explanations.

Promoters and collaborators could instantly access bio, media, projects, and schedule—far fewer follow-ups.

The art direction elevated my photography into a cohesive cinematic/editorial identity, strengthening first impression and credibility.

Despite a large archive, navigation felt effortless—content was structured so people found what they needed in seconds.

It performed exceptionally well throughout that phase of my career.

Elite art direction, real UX competence, ability to ship. It’s rare to find someone who deeply understands “vibe” and visual storytelling, yet can architect complex content into a clean system and develop it to a high standard. Every detail felt intentional, and the final result looked premium while working effortlessly. The site presented my work with the same confidence as my live performances. Premium, focused, and unmistakably ‘me’.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

No. They exceeded expectations across both creative direction and execution.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Automat Studio led the full branding and UI/UX work from positioning and identity foundations to the product interface itself. Milan led the creative direction and was the primary point of contact throughout the engagement.
The work included defining key editor workflows, clarifying information architecture and interaction patterns, and building a reusable component library/design system. We received implementation-ready UI screens and documentation that reduced ambiguity during handoff and made delivery smoother for engineering.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The design system reduced ambiguity for engineering and cut rework by standardizing components, spacing, and interaction patterns.

Reusable UI patterns and documentation helped us ship new screens faster while keeping the interface consistent across the platform.

The redesign improved perceived product maturity and trust our solution now presents as a production-grade tool in demos and product discussions.

Core editor workflows became easier to navigate: clearer hierarchy, better feature discoverability, and less confusion during onboarding.

Media / TV Production / Culture

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Automat to accomplish?

• Promotional materials, with a focus on the DVD cover/packaging. A key goal was to consistently translate the identity onto the physical edition and the main promotional touchpoints—especially through the DVD packaging design, as it is the “first impression” the audience holds in their hands and uses to immediately judge the tone and quality of the content.
• Create a recognizable visual identity for our series that feels contemporary rather than archaic, dignified, and fully aligned with the theme—communicating seriousness and atmosphere without clichés, especially important because the primary target audience was a younger population. Establishing the project’s visual identity. We wanted one of the series to have a recognizable visual language that feels contemporary rather than archaic, yet remains dignified and fully aligned with the theme. The goal was for the identity to carry the seriousness and atmosphere of the project without relying on expected clichés. This was especially important because the primary target audience was a younger population—less inclined to accept established forms and conventional solutions. Automat Studio succeeded in creating a modern design for a spiritual theme, without clichés.
• Design and full layout of the book (a ~250-page monograph + integrated DVDs). The book was conceived as a serious, approximately 250-page monograph with a clear structure, typographic hierarchy, and a spread rhythm that allows for easy reading—while carefully integrating photographs, quotes, and supporting elements. The edition also included two DVDs, with dedicated pockets integrated into the covers, so the goal was for the entire product to feel coherent and high-quality—both visually and functionally. The monograph achieved a strong rhythm and the gravitas of a publication built to last.
• The website was not a promotional site, but a complete web edition of the project: it contained the full content of the book, complemented by selected video clips from the series as illustration and an extension of the text. The goal was to organize a large volume of content clearly and transparently, and to ensure the digital experience felt as serious as the printed one—following the same art direction and visual identity as the monograph. Print and digital supported each other, with a special aim to use the digital edition to reconnect audiences with an older, printed medium—a connection the younger generation is gradually losing.
• Branding and digital presence for the series. In addition to the first series, Automat Studio was responsible for the full visual identity, promotional materials, and website for the documentary series.  The objective was to maintain a consistent aesthetic language across both series while giving each its own distinct character. The studio successfully translated the spiritual and historical depth of the icons into a modern digital and print format, ensuring that the marketing materials and the website served as an educational and immersive extension of the TV series itself.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope included the complete design of the monograph (around 250 pages: layout, typography, structure, prepress preparation), cover design with an integrated solution for two DVDs via dedicated pockets, defining the project’s visual language (handwritten elements and storyboard illustrations as an integral part of the identity), and designing the website as an extensive multimedia edition that brings together the full book content and selected video clips from the series—under the same art direction as the printed edition. Everything worked as one unified whole rather than three separate projects. The scope also extended to the complete branding and web presence for a second series, applying the same rigorous art direction to ensure a unified brand family for our cultural projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The outcome was a distinctive and consistent visual identity that unified all formats of the project—fully appropriate and appealing both for the primary target audience and for other potential viewers/readers. The monograph and the website gained a mature, professional look ready for public presentation and distribution, while the physical edition (book with two DVDs in cover pockets) felt thoughtful, functional, and premium. The physical product gave the impression of a serious, collectible edition. A particularly successful element of the art direction was the integration of handwritten materials (storyboard drawings and costume sketches). Although some of these materials were created later, they were incorporated in a way that feels completely natural—adding warmth, creativity, and a “process” tone that modernizes the atmosphere without undermining the dignity of the theme.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project work was organized and efficient: iterations were fast, proposals were clear, revisions were executed precisely, and deadlines were met—with good flexibility when it was necessary to align a large amount of content across multiple formats.

What was your primary form of communication with Automat?

• In-Person Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Most impressive was the ingenuity in art direction: they recognized that within a theme like this, “preparatory” materials (handwriting, sketches, storyboard drawings) could be used as an authentic narrative layer—and where such materials did not exist, they conceived and created new ones that felt completely natural. The handwriting and storyboard elements were not decoration; they were part of the story—without compromising the dignity of the theme.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

No significant objections.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope was extensive. Automat Studio delivered two distinct visual ecosystems:

 1) The “Prevention Package” (Adults/Adolescents): A complete visual identity using sophisticated photo-collage art direction. Deliverables included a comprehensive textbook for peer educators, educational board games (box, board, and cards—incl. Trafedo), posters, and supporting promotional materials.

2) “Miša & Maša” (Children): A child-friendly prevention system featuring character design, a comic-style large-format poster, coloring books, puzzles, a storybook, and the “1, 2, 3 From Home to School” board game. Every asset was modular, allowing for easier translation and adaptation across different formats and media.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Reached 350,000+ people via peer education (as of Jul 2017) and localized into 7+ languages. The design delivered high-precision clarity for children, teens, and high-risk adults—across cultures and contexts.

A psychologically engineered education framework—metaphor + gamification—making a sensitive topic accessible without sensationalism. Materials were immediately usable in the field and built for repeatable nationwide rollout.

14+ years in active use with zero redesign—rare proof of ROI and timeless, world-class craft. Automat Studio turned institutional content into a prevention system that still sets the national benchmark.

It’s rare to find a studio that combines world-class art direction with such deep empathy and strategic depth. Automat Studio has the ability to translate "invisible" social problems into a powerful visual language. They didn't just design books; they designed a psychological framework for education. The fact that their work from 14 years ago still looks modern and is being used across Europe and wider today is a proof of their exceptional craft. They were not just designers; they were deep-thinking strategic partners capable of translating ideas into breathtaking design!

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

Regretably we didn't have sufficient budget to involve them in every single program we run. Their impact is transformative.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our partnership with Automat Studio has spanned nearly 20 years. They have acted as our strategic creative partner through three key phases of our company's maturity: 
•Phase 1: Inception (2006 - NesCo): Establishing the foundational identity for our initial IT services business. 
• Phase 2: Transformation (2014 - Bits Group): A complete corporate rebranding when we expanded into a group structure. Automat Studio created a unified visual system that connected our IT sector with our new Security and Construction divisions. 
• Phase 3: Scale & Industrial Application (2019 - Present): A strategic update to support our heavy infrastructure growth. This focused on physical branding—applying our identity to large-scale assets, including our fleet of excavators, trucks, and field equipment. 
Since our operations are deeply integrated with partners like A1 and government contracts, we rely less on a public website and more on this physical brand authority that Automat Studio builds for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Premium Market Positioning. Automat’s design ensures our physical fleet commands respect on-site. Whether for IT distribution or civil engineering, we now visually compete with top-tier international firms, establishing immediate trust with stakeholders. 
Increased Contract Win Rate. The professionalized identity was a key differentiator in securing high-value government and corporate tenders. The cohesive brand architecture validated our capacity to handle complex, large-scale infrastructure projects. 
Seamless Brand Scalability. Over 20 years, the brand system has effortlessly adapted to our expansion from a local IT shop to a multi-vertical enterprise. This long-term consistency has built cumulative brand equity that a fragmented approach would have missed.

We also value that we always work directly with Milan as the principal designer, rather than being passed to juniors, so the quality and accountability are always consistent.
