Kostovic’s “Sarajevo 100” featured in Mind’s Eye

Design is so much more complex than the aesthetics.

July 27, 2017 by Strategic Communication

Congratulations to Cedomir Kostovic! His incredibly powerful work will be featured in the 2017 issue of Mind’s Eye.

Sketches of Kostovic's idea for "Sarajevo 100"

Read the full article, or see an excerpt below:

“If I design a sign which tell you, ‘Turn right,’ but actually you need to turn left, you can kill yourself!” That’s Cedomir Kostovic, a professor in the department of art and design.

He came to the U.S. in 1990 from Bosnia and Herzegovina and has been teaching graphic design at Missouri State University for 25 years.

Design, Kostovic said, is about using visual communication to solicit a desired human behavior.

From public service posters and commercial advertisements to road signs, designers must think beyond artistic expression to understand how color, typography, imagery and other content can be leveraged to create a design solution.

The feature article on Kostovic is also currently highlighted on Missouri State’s research page.

Congratulations and well done!
