Pictorica is a graphic design, book publishing, comprehensive brand work with 11 years of history.

The cookbook The Appetizing History of the Prussian Kingdom, the tourist passport for the Kaliningrad Region, the photo archeology of Kneiphof, and a large digital project The City from a Postcard are all works of Maxim and the Pictorika design bureau.

Maksim is also known as «Max Proys Manufacture,» which produces souvenirs, coloring cards, guidebooks about modern Kaliningrad and old Königsberg.

Any of Maksim’s projects is the creation of modern products based on historical images, taking trends into account.

«To imagine is to act» is the principle of Maksim and his team.
