Łodzianin - Mural painting project

Łodzianin is an art project focused on ten people closely connected to the city of Łódź. The main part of the project is a series of mural paintings depicting an emblem showcasing what each person chosen for the project is known for. The project is designed to work somewhat like a game with the paintings being scattered in different locations in Łódź. Under each of them you could find a QR code leading you to a smartphone application or a website and unlocking the story and achievements of each person respectively. The app would give you small hints on where to find the rest of the murals. The idea is that upon completing the collection and discovery of each emblem you could receive some discounts in popular places in Łódź like cafes and museums. 
Each of the chosen people has his emblem(shown on the right) which depicts most famous works or items related to the person. Also part of the project are ten portraits to be used in the app or website. The whole project was designed in pixel-art style which closely relates to the idea of creating an interactive spatial game based in the city.
Visualization of Katarzyna Kobro's emblem placed on a building next to Art Museum MS 1 in Łódź. The location of the mural was based on the fact that Kobro played a key part in creating contemporary art collection in MS 1. 
Proposed placement of each mural based on the history, connection with the person and possibility of painting a mural.
