Highlight reel of the graphics created for the Netflix documentary, Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski. Created at RPS and Elastic
'Struggle' is a documentary about the unlikely rediscovery of Stanislav Szukalski, a visionary Polish artist and sculptor, who lost his life’s work during WWII and has since been mainly forgotten.
The documentary showcases a large number of images and photography, so we constructed a visual mechanic that lived within the world of the artist while helping to drive the narrative. This personal “scrapbook” design style allowed us to display the full breadth of his varied and formidable work, as well as show his own changing circumstances over time.
