Who is
?
Born in 1982, same year nike introduced the Air Force One model and Michael Jackson released „Thriller”. Huge fan of Tarantino’s movies. In school I was introduced to hip-hop music, afterwards I became familiar with its origins deriving from jazz and funk music’s father James Brown. Graduated with honours from the graphic design department at Bilkent University in Ankara. I then worked in editorial, advertising and as a freelance designer. My focuses are branding, advertising and illustration. I’m simply trying to mix images and type, but always add a special ingredient. I would like to be Michael Bierut and Stefan Sagmeister, but in one person. I go by the name Mr. Brown. I’m trying to make a name for myself. My name is Artur Augustyniak – music lover, journalist, graphic designer, art director. fb.com/Mr.Brown.creativeboutique

letters of recomendation
When I joined DDB Warsaw in the summer of 2003 Artur was already an intern in a large and largely unmotivated creative department.
The integrated marketing agency Focus Advantage had the pleasure and opportunity to collaborate with Mr. Artur Augustyniak several times throughout the past few years.
enjoy his summer, and return to his studies without me, as his creative director, being any the wiser.
involvement, professionalism and reliability in maintaining the schedule of entrusted projects and tasks – high quality creative ideas and graphic design. Furthermore, what’s most valuable in Mr. Augustyniak’s approach, is a good feeling for product categories and target audiences, as well as notable experience in many marketing and communication sectors.
That he chose not to quickly marked Artur out as motivated and responsible. And I soon discovered that he was also a natural and gifted designer. And already possessed of a design aesthetic well beyond his years and his peers. He worked hard and he worked well. And he quickly became unusual ability in anyone but a remarkable one in an intern. So much so, in fact, that I suggested that rather than return to college he should come and work for me. An offer that he, wisely, I think, declined. AlthoughIhavenot had the opportunitytowork withhim since, I have followed the progress of Artur’s work and career since with interest and admiration. In my view he certainly knows that ‘the good is the enemy of the great’ but more than that, I think, he knows what good design is for and why the great always works harder than the good. I would recommend him to any employer without hesitation. Sincerely,
Peter Russell
In relation to all of the above, I’m recommending a collaboration with mr. Artur Augustyniak to all the companies and entities seeking interesting and high quality creative projects.
Great designer – one of the best, whom our agency had the occasion to collaborate with. Exceptionally creative. Without hesitation seeks for non-standard solutions and his own paths. Doesn’t create borders to his imagination. Always works on his own progress. Doesn’t only care that his works are aesthetic and eye-catching – always encloses an intelligent „twist” or hidden meaning. Has an ability to create „pictures worth a thousand words”. Anyone, who entrusts him a design task, can be 100% sure, that what he gets are a couple on-point, surprising and intelligent answers for the given brief. Highly reccomended.
