Hitch Life

We are in this world to enjoy our time and to live happy. We can do this by following the flow of life and taking conscious decisions. In this blog I will share some small insights, epiphanies and thoughts that I have about this flow. Enjoy!

I normally share mostly my work here, but here is a personal adventure from yesterday. It is important to travel in your surroundings in order to get know them and love them 💖🤘🌈 Most of the photos are made in Jaizkibel the Basque Country . . . #jaizkibel #mountain #euskadi #basque #pasaia #rainbow #boat #woods #adventure #nature #walking #hondarribia #northofspain #inspiration #love #sun #sea #ocean #beach #france #iparralde (at Jaizkibel)

The initial sketches for one of my latest projects. At the end the brand name also changed from EcoTree to Ecowoodint. 🌲🌳🌴After the sketches are done I chose 4 of the ideas that I liked most and presented them digitally to the client. ✏️✍️ We chose one finalist and you guys can see it in the next post 😜😍💖 . . . . . . . #ecowoodint #logodesign #sketch #logo #process #eco #wood #pencil #penonpaper #art #workinprogress #work #hristodonev #design #illustration (at San Sebastián, Pais Vasco, Spain)

Alright. I'm back and motivated to do beautiful things for all of you ☺️ I also had time to work on my personal logo and from all the ideas and tryouts I had, this is the one I like most. - But still not sure how to put it 😋 So if you can leave your preference and feedback if you have any, I'll be super grateful 🙏 - The idea is that the logo has H and D (it also looks like a smile :D) in the white space and the star thingie is an X - the first letter of my name in Bulgarian. It also represents a very simplified traditional Bulgarian embroidery...and it's a star 🌟 - It captures most aspects of myself - international, but with strong roots, optimistic...and a star 😂 at least for my mom ♥️ Also it is simple and cleverly using white space, so I believe you can guess I am a designer. Stay tuned, because great things are coming ✨ I'll make sure to post at least every 2-3 days, because everyday is impossible with all the things that I do. Thank you so much for the help and support. ♥️♥️♥️ (at Donostia - San Sebastián)

🇬🇧 Some days a go I started the #thirtylogos challenge, but life has presented to me another, bigger and harder challenge. I won't be posting for a while, because I have to focus on the challenges of life first. That's why I made this simple design, to remind you and myself that life is and endless challenge. Wish me luck and stay tuned 🌱🕉️ 🔆🔆 🇧🇬 Преди няколко дни започнах 30 дневно лого предизвикателство, но живота ми поднесе друго, по-голямо и по-трудно предизвикателство. В следващите дни няма да споделям неща, защото трябва да се фокусираме върху предизвикателството- живот. За това направих този дизайн, да припомня на вас и на себе си, че животът е безспирна битка. Пожелайте ми късмет и ще се видим скоро 💚🕉️

🕉️ My entry for the first day of the 30-day logo design challenge. The logo is for a co-working space brand called "Space". Wanted to represent both meanings of the word "space" and still be simple and clean. What do you you think❓ Feedback is much appreciated 🔆 If you swipe you will see part of the process. I worked on two different ideas but at the end this won me over. The whole work took me around 2 hours. 💯 . . . . . #thirtylogos #logos #logo_showcase #logodesign #logoinspirations @logoinspirations @logotypeclub #space #star #modern #clean #fresh #sofreshsoclean #thedesigntip #designarf #blue #love #challenge #designchallenge (at Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain)

Some pretty impressive badge collection we found with @irenemayowsky in #Sofia So many beautifully designed historical moments and places. Many of them were made in socialist time and are probably unique. I would love to have bought them all but we still managed to get 6 for home. . . . #badge #history #antique #bulgaria #aleksandernevski #market #art #design #oldschool #metal #socialist #unique #collective #collection #colors #beautiful #colorful #beauty (at Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale)

Rhodopi or Родопи is another Bulgarian mountain in the south of the country. I did it before but I realized it didn't really fit in the badge collection I am trying to make, so here is my second try. What do you think? . . I finished the big Bulgarian mountains so now I am.open for any suggestions. What is the next mountain you want to see as a badge? . . . #mountain #bear #animal #nature #water #river #cave #bridge #wonderfulbride #родопи #чуднитемостове #design #illustration #thedesigntip #badge #thedesigtalk #logoinspiration #bulgaria #rhodope #logotypeclub #art #hristodonev #process #sticker (at Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain)

Here you go, another pretty pretty bird for the simple icon collection. After I did the Toucan, I wanted to experiment more with the shapes and colors of birds, but I want to make illustrations of the less popular birds, the one forgotten by man, like the enormous but cute shoebill haha. And I couldn't have done this illustration without the help of @irenemayowsky 😘 . . If you have a suggestion for what bird to illustrate next let me.know in the comments. . . . #bird #logo #shoebill #animal #design #simple #simplycooldesign #thedesigntip #designarf #icon #funny #nature #art #hristodonev #green #badge #lines #logogrid #circle #circlegrid

This is a recent logo for a client that got declined at the end, but I am really happy with the outcome so I wanted to share and maybe get some opinion :) . It's also FOR SALE and changes can be made. . @typetopia #typetopia #logoinspirations #logotypeclub #logo #logoshowcase #logosai #thedesigntip #design #designarf #forsale #hristodonev #art #logotype #icon #house #square #geometrical #capital #minimalistic #fresh (at Donostia - San Sebastián)

Balkan/Балкан is the way people use to call the longest mountain in Bulgaria. It crosses the country from West to East, where it disappears in the Black Sea. The Balkan peninsula is called after that mountain and nowadays we call it the Old Mountain. One of the oldest Bulgarian fortresses "Tsarevets" is situated in the middle of this magical place. I hope I did a good job and represented the beauty of it :) . . . #moon #mountain #night #wolf #nature #balkan #howl #badge #sticker #minimalistic #bulgaria #fortress #old #ancient #art #hristodonev #beautiful #thedesigntip #graphicroozane #design #designarf #creative #stars #process (at Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain)

These days I've been working on some logo designs, which I hope I can show soon. Wish me luck and the client picks me :) Apart from that, I've just been exploring and playing around with shapes. I made this one by pure accident and I really liked it, so let me know if you like it too. . Do you like the one on top or the one on the bottom? . . . #shapes #geometric #abstract #art #abstractart #bulgaria #шевица #design #minimal #process #logo #thedesigntip #designarf #thedesigtalk #love #beautiful #mistakes #peace

The church in the Rila monastery. I made this illustration as part of the Rila badge but I am quite happy how it turned out (I think it's super cute 😊), so I think it needs its own post and maybe badge or a pin. It is very minimalistic, so let me know if I truly captured the essence of the church. . . . #rila #monastery #rilamonastery #church #design #designarf #thedesigntip #graphicroozane #logoinspiration #logotypeclub #minimalistic #simple #line #cross #photography #hristodonev #art #bulgaria #faith (at Donostia - San Sebastián)

Rila or Рила is a beautiful mountain in the south west of Bulgaria. It's the highest mountain on the Balkan peninsula with its highest peak "Musallah" reaching 2925m. Rila is also famous for it's many glacier lakes, wildlife and the ancient Rila monastery. I tried to present all of it in this badge. *Thanks for voting on the pictures, and from the votes and comments I think it looks better with the monastery on it. Brings balance to the whole illustration. . . . #balkan #rila #mountain #deer #lake #water #nature #monastery #peak #design #designarf #thedesigntip #graphicroozane #logoinspirations #sun #badge #illustration #musalla #bulgaria #рила #планина #природа #елен #рилскиманастир #езеро #trees #beautiful #art #hristodonev #summer #snow (at Donostia - San Sebastián)
