Docaviv


Motion Design/ Collage / 2026

The brief began with a mood board and the idea of capturing a casual, documentary-like moment. This led me to Docaviv and the thought that anyone can become a documentary subject, even for a split second.
The project became a lineup video connecting archival Tel Aviv with the city today, using collage, match cuts, and continuous motion to merge people, places, and gestures.

Developing the Visual Language
The process connected old and contemporary Tel Aviv through archival research, collage, and motion. Inspired by Docaviv’s dotted logo, I used halftone textures, bold Hebrew typography, torn-paper elements, and a warm color palette to create a dialogue between past and present.

Sketches & Work in Progress
Early tests explored different ways of combining archival images, contemporary figures,
typography, and motion before the final collage language was defined.
