I dedicates my life to become a beter person, beter artist and never stoped to learn and improve.

Illustration work

I helped a client to develop characters of his next book by illustrating them. He was looking for some type of creatures from the undergrownd world, so with combining refferences of animals living underground and my imagination,this is what i came up with.

But it was too realistic and scary for him, so I tried something more friendly

Here is some illustrations that i did for a fairy and magic forest book

NFT Illustration

This is an example of the digital art theme. Drooling ape was the subject, so I tried to find something that people can recognise within a popular commedy...

But something went wrong, so I had to sent an apology to the group and created the Apepology

Smoking box

One of my personal projects was to design a series of products intended for smokers. This is one of the prototypes.

During my study, we had to make a book cover and for that, I picked one old drawing that I did 20 years ago. I looked at picture and I came up with some ideas for the story and the title.

Adobe photoshop

I called the book “Centaur the Protector”

We also had to work on a new design for a peanut butter jar named JIF and place it on jar mockup and Facebook mockup. This is what we started with...

Adobe photoshop

So I began to do some fun characters as the product is designed for famillies with children and I came up with a adult peanut holding a baby peanut. I drew the characters and coloured them with Adobe Photoshop.

After creating the characters, I designed this lable and put it on a mockup above.

Adobe photoshop

At first I tried to sketch with the mouse a face of some old man with the details of the wrinkles...

Here above, you can see the other freehand drawing with a little bit of

Adobe Illustrator

When I started to learn how to vectorise an image, I tried to go for 2 of my illustrations that I photographed ...

And after about 30 minutes, I turned it in to the image showned on the left.

Adobe Illustrator Logo project

Name Peacock

Field of activity Building company

Slogan From the ground up

In this assignment, we had to create logos for different type of companies.

We only had the name, their purpose and the slogan to come up with a design.

After observing a peacock feather, I tried to fit a house inside...

Name Morfetta

Field of activity Solicitors

Slogan In it to win it

DRAFT

For this logo, I started to scatch the scale of justice but quickly moved to the slogan which is suggesting that the company is willing to put the pressure to win. First I tried a hand pressing on the scale but choose to put the foot down instead, that way I had the “M”of Morfetta.

For this logo, I started to write the initials and went towards the shape of a pill.I also wanted to add an arrow pointing up to represent the performence side of the product. After drawing a healthy man drinking after an exercise, I decided to go for more heroic shape and it was fitting the slogan better.

Name Straight Ballin

Field of activity Food Supplements

Slogan You are what you eat

For the slogan, the first idea was a thumb up...

DRAFT

Name Machine

Field of activity

Metal Work

Slogan Know us Know quality

But soon after i thought who are considered to be the best metal workers? And the blacksmith dwarfs came to my mind so I decided to design a blacksmith dwarf robot. After drawing my character, I create a silouette of it and Voila!

Name C4 Fitness

Field of activity

Slogan

Fitness Centre

Be an inspiration

For the C4 Fitness idea, I first made sketch of a body builder, but abonded the idea and focused on the name of the brand.I only used C4 but I wanted to stretch it like a track which alowed me to add “Fitness” to it . I was trying to give it a shape of a trainers or a Treadmill..

DRAFT

Name Brass Dog

Field of activity Security

Slogan

Always Alert

After reading the slogan, I started with the tower from “The Lord of the Rings” with the eye of Sauron. Then I thought to place it on alert cyclop dog. The result was a litle bit comical so I moved the eye above the head of a gardian dog. And for the colored version,

I researched the CMYK percentage of a brass texture and I applied it with gradient.

Name Belvia

Field of activity Wellness Spa

Slogan A better way to practice care

As showned on the sketches, I started with a rounded shape with yin and yang idea forming the B of Belvia. I decided to keep the rounded shape but went for the sunshine instead and put the silouette of B inside of it. I wanted something peaceful in the logo so I drew a woman’s face with hair in the wind.

Name

Elixia London

Field of activity Finance and Investment firm

Slogan We focus on your tomorrow

Before starting with initials of the Elixia London logo, I’ve got inspired by the word “tommorow” from the slogan and draw a road heading towards the sun.

After that I knew I will make the logo in a perspective like this road heading towards the sun.

I combined initials of the brand in a shape of a diagram, reaserch and applie the exact colors of theEnglish flag...

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at that portfolio and allow me to wish you a happy life.
