ALEKO - BEATS FROM MARS 6/6 social media illustration ------- So excited to have finished my first digital painting in almost a year now. Many thanks to @beats_from_mars for this wonderful commission. Unfortunately I've been filling my schedule for the past two months with projects that haven't truly challenged my way of thinking so this one just cleansed my eyes. Pumped, hyped and ready to embark on new creative adventures. ------- #awesome #colorful #digtalart #drawing #photoshop #painting #playful #illustration #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #newera #work #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusaders #nurturedesign (at Cologne, Germany)

TRADITIONAL ROMANIAN NOODLES > retail stores poster ------- Almost into my 5th year working as a designer and I can state that one of the best things to experience so far is repeating clients. Not only do you get a chance to work with extremely open minded, enthusiastic people, but you can also keep track of how you gradually evolve your craft. I've been on boar with "de la Buna Romaniţa" from their very beginning when they asked me to create this logo and patent it. After that, came their packaging designs, different promotinal materials and the feeling that, with each one more, our relationship grew stronger ------- #awesome #colorful #poster #illustration #drawing #playful #graphicdesign #process #packaging #vector #illustrations #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #newera #work #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Cologne, Germany)

STRIKE BREWING CO > ElDiamante craftbeer label proposal ------- Had a great opportunity earlier this summer to work on the label design contest held by Strike Brewing Co. for their new ElDiamante Pale Ale. Although it didn't make the cut, I consider it one of the professional cornerstones that thought me much about handling details and handrawing elements ------- #awesome #colorful #craftbeer #label #drawing #playful #graphicdesign #process #packaging #vector #illustrations #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #newera #work #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Cologne, Germany)

FITEXPERT.RO > logo & iconography ------- FitExpert is a new project my brother is launching, that focuses on developing a new generation of highly efficient personal trainers, fitness advisors and nutritionists. It also comes with great advice for those who just want to step their training game up to higher levels of performance by first getting the necessary information transmitted to them throughout specific articles written by professional trainers from across the country. ------- #awesome #colorful #logo #drawing #playful #graphicdesign #process #character #vector #illustrations #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #newera #work #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture #2017 (at Cologne, Germany)

MCDEWEE'S PRIMO SEASONING imagery ------- Had a long walk on this project while going through thousands of photographs with flavoured peppers, sorting, cutting and editing almost three hundred, then rearranging them into high-res compositions to be used in both the label designs and the promotional branding materials. When work actually becomes work, a great thing to do is challenge the creative process by making as many follow-up patterns as possible. ------- #awesome #flavour #pepper #project #graphic #design #label #packaging #newera #creative #work #branding #beautiful #graphicdesign #studio #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Cologne, Germany)

MCDEWEE'S PRIMO SEASONING logo and label design ------- Feeling enormously proud to have another #label #design on the market. While #creating for the digital mediu has an outstanding reach and can appeal to hundreds, maybe thousands more, it's always more difficult to have your #work pop-out of the usual clutter and it's never as rewarding as seeing your product on shelves, feeling it in-hand and especially noticing it in people's homes. Packaging design has always been my favourite - with every new client there's that immense opportunity to learn a big deal of stuff that may influence your whole understanding of what you'll be using for the rest of your life. Plus, you feel like a total badass whenever you get the chance to say: "You know I designed this, right?", then act all smugly about it... ------- #newera #graphicdesign #packaging #process #awesome #special #pepper #branding #digital #art #mastery #playful #vector #illustration #graphic #design #studio #brandnurture

4th FRUITY PATTERN > LEMONS Fourth and final #design so far. Been on a small weekend break to Belgium and I'm absolutely impressed on how detaching yourself from daily routines, even for a couple of days, can do wonders for your #creative #process. Feeling a strong urge to express myself throughout my work and I can't wait to kick-start the upcoming #projects ------- #awesome #colorful #fruity #pattern #illustration #playful #vector #drawing #graphicdesign #digitalart #typography #2017 #newera #work #branding #beautiful #graphic #design #studio #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Cologne, Germany)

3rd FRUITY PATTERN > STRAWBERRIES Everybody has their own #style in #design - whether it's constantly using a type of #color , a font they really like or a tool they're most accommodated with. I've frequently asked myself - is that actually a good thing? When #freelancing , you're often tempted to develop your own style because it's easier to focus on the do's and don'ts of a project rather than blending into your new customer's vision. What I mean is you're bound to develop a style even if you're not consciously aware of it. I believe in designing with purpose so badly that I usually document every line, curve, color or #pixel I create, but no matter how badly I resist it, there's still a small touch or a sort of trademark there. In the end it's not making you or your customer happy - it's doing what's right for their business. ------- #awesome #colorful #pattern #illustration #playful #vector #drawing #graphicdesign #typography #digitalart #2017 #newera #work #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Cologne, Germany)

Adam be like: "Eden? Eternity? Yeah man, whatever..." lazy af ------- I'll just post the second part tomorrow...said to myself almost a month ago and...Boom! Cut deals, small projects, one over the other, running around an' such...spare time felt like NOPE! AIN'T GONNA DO THAT NOW!

Just finished retouching these #awesome #renaissance #icons and couldn't help myself from posting them on a clear white background. One of the greatest things I've done so far to improve my work is develop my own complex color swatch. It's probably saving me a clear 10 to 20% of the time I need for any project...Aaaaa-daaaaam! ------- #colorful #graphicdesign #playful #vector #drawing #digitalart #illustration #2017 #newera #work #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Deva, Hunedoara)

Who? What? Ha? Where? Illustrated these speech bubbles a while ago for the front door at the new @vtgdesign office, after squeezing the crap out of a 2 day brainstorming process...reading and rereading notes depicted from some of my favourite marketing and branding authors such as the infamous Allen Adamson, Al and Laura Ries and of course Martin Lindstrom - absolute gamechangers ------- #colorful #graphicdesign #playful #vector #drawing #illustration #2017 #newera #work #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #vtgdesign #brandnurture (at VTG Design)

Although I understand the outstanding value the original #renaissance (backbone) fresco brought to the world, the thing that always amazes me is, by far...the way #adam sits somewhat relaxed and holds his lazy hand like...not even trying... ...dammit, Adam! ------- #colorful #graphicdesign #icon #playful #vector #drawing #digitalart #illustration #2017 #newera #work #branding #beautiful #creative #studio #graphic #design #giants #digital #art #empire #crusade #brandnurture (at Deva, Hunedoara)
