The project's design deserves special attention.
"We aimed to create a truly youthful design: we broke layout rules, created original illustrations, and added vibrant accents. It was a real experiment and a challenge to conventional patterns," notes Daria Bakshuk.
We congratulate our talented students on their well-deserved victory! We wish them continued creative success, inspiration, and, of course, many more engaging "reposts"!
