Hi!

I’m Calina Miruna Manisor

find a job you love, and you won’t have to work a day in your life

Calina Miruna Manisor architect graphic designer

My name is Calina Manisor. Although I am an educated as an architect, my fortune took me down the path of branding and graphic design: and I loved it.

Therefore today, I use the skills developed through my architectural background to create holistic designs and empathetic experiences.

As an architect, the most important part of the design process is the analysis. This translates into the graphic design field as user experience.

Hence, my designs and design strategies have a thorough understanding of the user, the environment and the experience.

BACKGROUND I have had the opportunity to live, work, and learn in countries such as Romania, Great Britain and Denmark, three very different societies with just as different design approaches.

Having experienced these different attitudes towards the social environment and towards design first hand, I have been able to create my own narrative. This narrative brings with it empathy and candor towards the needs of my client, but also towards the needs of society and the environment.

Because of my multicultural background, I have developed a profound understanding towards different societal clusters. This feature has further helped me to take up projects in a multitude of different countries such as: Denmark, Norway, Romania, Greenland, England, China and Italy.

Logo Design and Visual Identity

AcadTopStudio AcadTopStudio is a land surveying company based in Targu Mures, Romania. As one of the first surveying firms established in the city, they have a reputation for their professionalism and efficiency.

However, as current times require a strong virtual presence, the firm decided to revitalize their visual identity, alongside their website and their presence on social media.

The aim was to create an image that intertwines professionalism with playfulness and an appealing color scheme.

Concept The new logo appeals to the audience by referencing level curves, an easily recognizable symbol, that is deeply rooted in the collective memory of society.

The chosen color palette is playful yet subtle, giving a sense of approachability and openness.

Branding Elements and Visual Identity

L’Atelier Dentaire L’Atelier Dentaire is an innovative dental clinique based in Baia Mare, Romania.

At the time the communication with the team from L’Atelier started, they already had their logo and an idea about how they would like their interiors to be.

The challenge now was to create the right identity, one that inspires technological innovation, but is also a reflection of the classy team behind.

Concept The minimal black and white color palette is a reference to the modernity of the technology used, however the marble, organic finishes offer a classic and elegant twist to the theme

03 Logo Design

Amon Maritime Amon Maritime is an independent shipping consultancy founded in Bergen, Norway.

The company specializes in zero emission vessel- and logistics concepts. They believe that ammonia is the fuel that will enable deep sea, zero emission shipping.

The task was to create a holistic logo, that can be used under different circumstances. The challenge was to create a design that is easily translated into prints and engravings, but is at the same time meaningful and aesthetically pleasing.

Concept The logo carries the expression of a simplistic text based logo. However, a twist is present in the letter ‘M‘, which is stylized into symbolizing the morphology of a wave is incorporated in the design.

Year: 2019 Client: Amon Maritime Location: Bergen, Norway Details: Logo Design

Nonetheless, the presence of three waves isn’t accidental.

The number three caries a deep meaning throughout tradition, and is seen as a symbol of balance. In the case of AMON Maritime, the balance comes between three key elements: Knowledge, Awareness and Action. Moreover, the three waves also symbolize the three hydrogen [hydro=water] atoms in the ammonia molecule, NH3.

Logo Design and Visual Identity

Project Name Nano Pro Construction is a young Land Survey Agency based in Targu Mures, Romania.

The agency works with a variety of different projects and clients, ranging from individual hires, to corporations contracts.

The image that we wanted to create was that of a fresh and approachable company, but at the same time showing innovation and seniority.

Year: 2019 Client: Nano Pro Construction Location: Targu Mures, Romania Details: Logo Design and Visual Identity

Concept The proposed logo is intuitive. As the company addresses a wide audience, it is important that the image is easily recognizable.

Nonetheless, the palette of the logo implies seniority and elegance, but the graphic offers a playful twist.

05 Logo Design

RP Mould Injection The company has more then 30 years experience of working in the mould injection industry. Today it works with clients all over Europe, providing plastic finishes to a variety of different products in the food industry .

The company has been passed down through generations, and was now in need of a face lift, in order to keep up with present times.

The challenge was to create a logo design that is playful and inspires the multitude of different tasks that the company works with.

Concept The team behind RP Mould Injection wanted a bright and colorful color palette that references the color of the materials used in their production line.

Year: 2019 Client: RP Mould Injection Location: Targu Mures, Romania Details: Logo Design

The playfulness of the color palette is complimented by the geometric shapes used to compose the text based logo. By using these primary shapes to form the letters of the logo, we reference the moulds used in creating the product that my client offers. It is a fresh and fun design, that suggest creativity and innovation.

06

Graphic Design and Design Strategy

Rockha Rockha is a notebook producer based in Cluj Napoca, Romania.

The company specializes in sustainable products, made from stone residue found in rock mines all over Europe.

My task for Rockha involved the implementation of a design strategy for a notebook line aimed at a young age group, comprising ages 14 to 24.

Year: 2018 Client: Rockha Location: Cluj Napoca, Romania Details: Graphic Design and Design Strategy

Concept The strategy was to create three themes for the young adults line: Green: which looks at graphics inspired by nature Girly: aimed at those crafty girls out there Groovy: the office notebook, aimed at young professionals.

07

Textile Design and Logistics

TEDx Copenhagen TED is a nonprofit organisation devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less) and covering the Technology, Entertainment and Design industries .

The difference between TED and TEDx events is that the TED takes more of a global approach while the latter typically focuses on a local community that concentrates on local voices.

For the 10 year anniversary event TEDx Copenhagen wanted to do something special.

My main task has been that of Head of the logistics team, however I could not keep away from the design scene, and decided to do a celebratory design of the crew shirts.

Concept In terms of the color palette, the TEDx brand has a series of strict guidelines. The color palette is reduced to red, white and black.

The creative touch however, came in the design of the tshirts.

The wordplay between TEDx and the X anniversary is at center point. Nonetheless, an important feature is to be able to see the TEDx logo, from each side of the textile piece.
