graphic design work

I’ve worked on very interesting projects and for great clients. Such projects have allowed me to diversify my portfolio and to create compelling content exemplifying my design philosophy. This is a selection of my works over the last four years. Besides commissioned work you will also find some personal projects.

russian masterworks

Round flyer originally designed for a local college student (DPU). Unfortunately the client didn't have the school's approval to use their logo and name…

I re-designed the flyer and created a new logo. Also, this version features a digital painting based on a photograph by the amazing photographer Mariano Vivanco.

illustrations #1

Design exercise combining illustration, image manipulation, color theory, and typography.

The inspiration comes from our culture of blind capitalism, idiotic consumerism, shameless opportunism and sinful religious hypocrisy.

Also inspired by negative externalities such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused by BP's negligence.

insight studios web site

The main objective of this web site was to promote Insight Studios professional services while reaffirming the Insight Studios' brand.

Hand drawn elements were used as the main design element for the header and footer. Also, dynamic Flash galleries were build to showcase the artists' artwork.

Note the incorporation of the logo on headers, navigation, photos, backgrounds, and the footer.

Art is open to discussion, appreciation and meaning. However, interpretation can stem from our thoughts and experiences. In conclusion, and borrowing from Madonna’s Human Nature:

…don’t hang your s**t on me
