01. About
Tenisový ples Bratislava is a premium gala event created to connect the world of Slovak tennis with culture, elegance, and philanthropy. Organised under the patronage of the TC ROYAL Bratislava Business Association, the event is conceived as the first tennis ball in Bratislava, inspired by the tradition of historic court balls.
The objective of the project was to create a sophisticated and elegant visual presentation that reflects the event’s core values of tradition, prestige, style, and charitable purpose. The communication needed to appeal to partners, sponsors, tennis personalities, media representatives, and invited guests, while positioning the event as a refined social occasion with a meaningful mission.
02. Visual Identity & Art Direction
My aim was to translate the atmosphere of a classical gala evening into a contemporary visual language connected to tennis, culture, and philanthropy. The identity interconnects the elegance of historic ballrooms with subtle tennis-inspired symbolism, creating a refined visual style that feels ceremonial, prestigious, and timeless.
The visual identity is defined by a deep navy colour palette, gold accents, elegant typography, and ornamental details inspired by classical architecture and formal evening events. A decorative tennis emblem references both the sport and the language of aristocratic crests, visually connecting athletic tradition with cultural refinement. Through structured layouts, generous spacing, refined image treatment, and a carefully balanced typographic hierarchy, the presentation communicates exclusivity, trust, and sophistication. The design direction reinforces the character of Tenisový ples as more than an event — a cultural meeting point for sport, art, partners, and charitable impact. These principles were implemented across the event presentation and partner communication materials, where the visual system helped present key information with clarity and elegance. The design supported the project’s positioning as a premium gala evening while highlighting its broader purpose: supporting young tennis talents and selected charitable organisations.
