At the country’s largest and most prestigeous book event, „Nepotism“ will reveal its secrets to the american reading audience.

About the book:
How can a simple traveler contribute to a positive change in the world that we live in? Can we all enhance our consciousness and stop the prejudice towards people that we consider different? What should be a new face of entrepreneurship concerning small businesses? Author, Vahid Razavi, answers these questions and many more in The Age of Nepotism.
The Age of Nepotism is a story in which the author presents his experiences, both work related and personal, he is showing us a glimpse into a better future through a subtle change in the way we look at travel, economy, war, conflicts, censorship, dating and other.
This book is a profound statement about similarities that connect what at first seems impossible to even consider as similar. It explores consequences of narrow-mindedness, ignorance and closing eyes in the face of conflicts. The Age of Nepotism is a positive prescription for improving our relations with fellow men, wherever we find our selves visiting!
Going from travels to politics and current financial situation, discovering stories behind the stories, questioning our sense of justice and our consciousness as global citizens, at its very end, this book makes us wonder if in todays world everything really comes down to one question: Who is your daddy?

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

Since 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.

Ski Cross – Kopaonik 2008

Ski Cross kopaonik - Poster

This is the key visual element – a poster for the Ski-Cross that is about to take place on mountain Kopaonik in Serbia this winter. I have also designed the logo for the competition with couple of things in mind: speed, adrenalin rush, grungy style that resembles snow cracks and playful expressions to catch the viewers attention

Ski-cross is a very interesting alpine skiing discipline – four or six skiers race down the bumpy slope full of obstacles, jumps and dangerous curves at the same time. Helmets are obligatory.
