Snowboard club Jaram

Nebojsa — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:30:09 +0000

A few days ago, we got a request for doing some snow-inspired sport illustrations for a snowboard club Jaram. They will be used for the t-shirts and other promotional pieces. Since Atraktor Studio is very familiar with the snow sports subjects from the past work – it was a very fun and inspiring. During the process we decided to play with the logo, too. It would be great combine a modern, snowboarding, graffiti inspired logo with a crazy illustration.

Here is what we came up with.

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.

Cohabitation of man and nature in the space-village

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

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

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.

CD Cover Design for a Band- Music Graphics

Nebojsa — Mon, 19 May 2008 20:36:41 +0000

I made this CD cover for my band called Duboka Ilegala. The inspiration for this piece was electro – folk music, connection the two terms in a visually appealing yet a bit funny way. You can download some of the songs or even order a full album by clicking this link: Duboka Ilegala Music.

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.

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.

Reconsiliation

Nebojsa — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:28:47 +0000

Designed for a special cultural occasion – a student group exhibition sponsored by French and German cultural centers in Belgrade. The theme is obvious (hopefully) and yet again I wanted to give it a broader meaning, taking reconsiliation as a starting point and explaining it with as few elements as possible.
