RO-KIT

RO‑KIT is inspired by a similar project, “idarg”, discovered in Buenos Aires, in 2009. Both try to present a country’s specifics using minimal expression means. The choice of 50 identity elements is one of the self imposed limitations. Too few to cover the Romanian whole, but a sufficient number to offer a representative image of the country. The graphical challenge was finding expressive but geometrical solutions for each symbol, using a single line thickness. The literary challenge was approaching the subjects in a concise manner.
