Uprawiał także architekturę wnętrz, scenografię (współpraca m.in. z Teatrem Małym w Warszawie), projektował znaki i logotypy m.in.: znak i czołówka programu telewizyjnego Pegaz, znak dla wydawnictwa Arkady, grafikę książkową. Mimo trudności w zdobywaniu materiałów do swojej działalności artystycznej w czasach niedoboru, w umiejętny sposób łączył różne dziedziny działalności wizualnej. Co ważne jednak , jego prace nigdy nie ograniczały się do prostego wykonania zlecenia - na plakat, okładkę książki czy pawilon wystawowy. Zamecznik starał się wymykać oficjalnym trendom socrealistycznej sztuki i oprócz wymiaru usługowego czy informacyjnego danych obiektów, kładł nacisk na zniuansowanie przekazu i ukazanie napięcia między indywidualną twórczością a dorobkiem nowoczesnego, kolektywistycznego państwa.

Zaborskaitė (1922-2010) was a literary critic and historian. After she was dismissed from the Department of Lithuanian Literature at Vilnius University in 1961, she worked at the Institute of History. She became an active member of the Sąjūdis movement. She was also a member of the group of scholars who prepared educational reform for the Republic of Lithuania. She is the author of a biography of the famous Lithuanian poet Maironis (1862-1932).

The life, work and activities of Professor Vanda Zaborskaitė are relevant to the theme of cultural opposition for at least three reasons. First of all, in the 1950s and early 1960s, she was a member of the Department of Lithuanian Literature at Vilnius University. At that time, the department came under strong ideological criticism from the government. Zaborskaitė belonged to the so-called group of 'witches' that were forced to leave their positions as lecturers. Secondly, Zaborskaitė's research interests included the life and poetry of the Lithuanian poet Jonas Mačiulis-Maironis. While Maironis was not banned as an author in Soviet Lithuania, the estimation of his personality was complicated. Thirdly, Zaborskaitė was religious since her early childhood. She kept in touch with a number of Catholic priests, keeping up a correspondence with them.
