creations

I was born in 1982, same year nike introduced the Air Force One model and Michael Jackson released „Thriller”. It was a good year in mainstream culture.

My main focuses are on brand design and illustration, but I also have a rich background in advertising and creating digital content.

I’m a 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 the godfather of soul James Brown.

I would like to become a mix of Michael Bierut and Stefan Sagmeister one day, but my main aim for today is simply getting better and gaining more experience as a creative manager. I go by the name Mr. Brown, but my name is Artur Augustyniak – music lover, journalist, graphic designer, art director.

Graduated with honours from the graphic design department at Bilkent University in Ankara. I then worked in editorial, advertising and as a freelance designer.

Our job is to communicate so why not have a chat and find out if we have more in common?

letters of reccomendation I’m working with Artur for a year now. During this period he took all the responsibilities related to managing the creative and marketing jobs at Grupa Moja Farmacja. He is the author of the whole corporate identity and creator of printed materials (flyers, businesscards, brochures, posters), website, car livery and the visual side of our pharmacies (billboards, branding, interiors). Artur is a professional in every aspect. An extremely creative person with a very good sense of taste. He is able to listen attentively to the needs of his clients, at the same time maintaining his unique, authentic style in each project. A responsible person who always keeps the deadlines. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

I had a pleasure working with Artur at GMF collaborating on several projects. He was always dedicated, enthusiastic and pro-active. No matter how tense was the situation, Artur made sure everyone left with a smile. He is extremely creative person, therefore his projects are special and tailor-made for client’s needs. Artur is a brilliant networker, capable to manage various projects simultaneously. He would be an added value for any team because he always delivers on top.

I’m having a pleasure to work with Artur since few years. The best thing from my perspective about Artur is that his “quality creativity” approach never changes:) great in illustrations, enourmous potential in art direction as well as visual identity etc.,Years of expierience on very diverse projects is a great advantage when it comes to work with Artur!

Artur is very detail oriented and creative designer. We have worked together on a very demanding account and he always delivered great quality work. Artur is a great team member with very positive attitude, which makes working with him a real pleasure. Przemek Kotowski

Working with Artur is always a great experience. I was always very happy with final results. Absolutely recommend!

I can recommend Artur to anyone looking for a highly skilled and professional graphic designer. He understands clients needs and fulfils them in a time frame given. His work is creative and his ideas are fresh. Artur is able to guide a client into the best possible solution using his experience and professional skills.

I had a great pleasure of working with Artur on many projects for Bank BPH. He is extremely professional - always calm, thinking about good solutions and not concentrating on the problems. His creativity and amazing skills were much appreciated by the Client and the account management team. He’s always thinking about intriguing and out of the box ideas but at the same time he never looses sight of the brief. His work has always been spot on and he is an extremely kind and friendly person. I couldn’t wish for a better Art Director to work with on everyday basis!

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.
