Belgrade Pops Orchestra in Concert

blbordradiowebSome time ago, I wrote about creating a visual identity for Belgrade Pops Orchestra. Now their first concert is fast approaching, and thus I have a lot  of things to define. Here is a sample of the billboards, to give you a taste of how it is all going to look. Feel free to comment and suggest ideas. I will be adding new designs as I make them.  Also, check their site at bro.rs

TatjanaTat.com – Fashion design

img_6774I just setup a wordpress website for a dear friend and a long-time collaborator Tatjana Tatalovic. She is a fashion designer based in Belgrade, Serbia (like me) and has some really cool wardrobe to show. Nice models also :)

Photographs are taken by Marko Sovilj, models are Marina Djordjevic and Katarina Lazarevic, make up by Ana Acimovic and hair by Ivan Trujic. Nice work people!

I used a  Wordpress theme by Greg Johnson called Wp Coda Blue , a really interesting one.

This is quite the simplest site, consisting only of several pictures from the new collection, but more stuff will be coming there soon and the ones that are there are really worth seeing.

Cohabitation of man and nature in the space-village

Cohabitation of man and nature in the space-village

This piece is one of my favorite illustrations. It has been developed for a long period of time, bit by bit, and it seems like it is never completed. Maybe I will leave it like this, possibly I will do a vector version when I have the time.

War of the Machines

Print - War of the machinesSince I was overwhelmed with a lot of design work recently, I had to find a way to let out the steam and ease the pressure on my pulsing brain. The best way I found so far is sketching by hand. Sometimes with a pen, sometimes with a marker, but usually in black and white, or just a couple of colors. This is really a kind of an art therapy – when I get sick of coding, aligning, clean corporate designs, I turn to my dirty sketches. some of them end up being vectorized for further application: t-shirts, posters, small prints etc. and some stay just as they are. I scan them, do a little or no adjusting at all and that’s it.

The piece presented here is one of the most recent vectorized sketches. It is inspired by long lasting obsession with the ‘Space Village Concept’. Robots and other machine-like creatures in the middle of a battle.

Beck’s beer – music magazine ads

Beck's Beer - Vignettes for YellowCab Magazine

Beck's Beer - Vignettes for YellowCab Magazine

It seems that a lot of my work is inevitably connected to beer. Once again I had a task of connecting the beer brand with music – this time for it was a series of ads and vignettes for a lifestyle magazine. The brief was to brand the magazine’s music pages with a couple of rather simple vignettes and two full-page and half-page ads, visually connect Beck’s beer and different music styles and genres.

Main idea was that each of the vignettes would represent different genre, so that the appropriate picture would be connected with the topic of the article on the page. It involved more work from my side, but made the branding look much more natural and unforced.
