This poster is still one of my favorite ones. It is for a gangsta rap band from Belgrade. I tried to get out of the cliche and represent something else than just three guys in baggy trousers and bling-bling jewelery.

Belgrade Pops Orchestra in Concert

Nebojsa — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:22:17 +0000

Some 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~~

War of the Machines

Nebojsa — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:36:04 +0000

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

Nebojsa — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:14:00 +0000

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.

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.

Snowflake Freeride ski team – extreme sports design

Nebojsa — Fri, 16 May 2008 01:50:27 +0000

One of the things I love most is skiing. So, since I am one of the founders of the team, creating a visual identity for it was kinda natural.

The designs presented here are for T-shirts and a member card for the team. You can order your shirt using the contact page.

I also made the logo applied here.

More ski and snowboard designs still to come! Stay tuned.

Niksicko Beer – Branding the Snowboard Park

Nebojsa — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:44:15 +0000

Yet more beer! This series of poster sketches wasn’t actually meant to be a series. Through a lenghty process of brainstorming, making, rejecting and refining the ideas, These three posters were the ones I think deserve to be presented.

The first one:

Needless to say it was rejected. No comment was made whatsoever.

Second attempt was more ‘serious’:

Closer. But not there yet. So, I made the third one (all of the attached pics are actually low-res sketches, so the quality of the pictures is not too good sometimes):

Bingo! The third one was the lucky winner! I like it because it has that dinamic ‘in your face’ look and feel (I admit I imagined myself swimming in the beer, too), although the first one is still closest to my heart. I think I will make a copy for my room.

Beck’s Beer – Branding the Disco

Nebojsa — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:29:36 +0000

And now the first ‘commercial’ post. This is from the time I’ve worked at Publicis Serbia. The task was to brand a popular disco club, connect the beer brand with the music and dancing, thus differentiating it from the competition. So key concepts were: fresh, young, cool and modern.

I liked the idea of making a series of panels – different stuff connected by the same concept and yet not get boring and repetitive. There was also an issue of localizing the brand flavor – in most cases, global Beck’s campaigns had black background with somewhat gloomy look. The client didn’t like black, but I did. I wanted to prove my point – black doesn’t necessarily mean bad. Quite contrary.
