Basowiszcza is the Festival of Young Belarusian Music, run by the Belarusian Students’ Association since 1990 in a forest clearing near Gródek, east of Białystok. In 2006–2007 I built its website, and I posted my work on DeviantArt as neochan-pl.

basowiszcza.org

The site for the 21–22 July 2006 festival came in three languages (Polish, Belarusian, English) with news, the line-up, history, a photo gallery and a forum. The footer read “© BAS / neochan design”. The following year’s site, for the 19–21 July 2007 edition, carries my name in its code.

Logo proposals for 2007

In April 2007 I sent three entries to the festival’s logo competition. One plays on it being the eighteenth edition (“18 fmmb”); the others use the white-red-white colours and a megaphone.

Logo proposal: a large white number 18 on black, with “fmmb” in red and “basovišča” in white below
Logo proposal: a white-red-white square framed by two arcs in the same colours, with “basovišča 2007” below

The Polish N.R.M. Embassy and zona.art.pl

From the same circle came work for the Polish fan site of the Belarusian band N.R.M. – a bird logo and the design of nrm.art.pl (2006) – and the logo of zona.art.pl, a “zone of the independent Belarusian muse”, a project of my own from 2007.

“polska ambasada n.r.m.” logo: a hand-drawn bird with spread wings in black, white and red, ringed by the name and the address www.nrm.art.pl
