poster 3

2008-06-11T13:20:00.004+02:00

The last one of the series and also part of the specimen. The poster nr. 3 is borrowing the motif from Michelangelo's 'spark of life' and is illustrating the birth of a typeface.

specimen

2008-05-25T21:51:00.003+02:00

That's the specimen book - part of my final thesis. I'll publish the inside pages as soon as I find the time.

poster - part 2

2008-04-17T22:59:00.002+02:00

Another one from the series. This one is a visualization of a poem by Prévert. I'm ending my studies, so I chose L'école des beaux-arts. The poem is about how one can open your eyes to beauty.

photoetching

2008-04-10T15:47:00.002+02:00

Here is the result afer photoecthing. Now it looks really old.

diploma poster

2008-03-23T20:05:00.003+01:00

Sketch for one out of 3 diploma posters for the typeface Nouvelle. The concept is to present the characteristics of the type with various symbols. Feather stands for its lightness and elegance. I will use typofoto for all the posters, as it was used mainly in the times when geometric typefaces were born.

afrikana

2008-03-18T21:10:00.005+01:00

I'm giving out some Afrikan feeling with this type, which I finally completed. If you want it, mail me.

and another poster

2008-03-09T15:40:00.004+01:00

This is a poster I've been doing lately. It's an invitation poster for workshops organized for journalism students - they will discuss the problems that marginalized groups have in Slovenia (homeless etc.). The title is kind of hard to translate, but it's like 'Giving the word - as in helping them to speak out'.

more drawing

2008-03-07T21:34:00.001+01:00

I never get tired of life model drawing ...

portfolio

2008-03-03T21:30:00.002+01:00

2008-02-07T14:51:00.001+01:00

I'm again taking life drawing lessons.

new poster

2008-01-28T19:27:00.001+01:00

This is the proposition for a poster for a play that a friend of mine directs in Lille, France. I decided to say goodbye to computer for a while and start focusing on classical techniques - such as collage ... The text in the title is actually based on African letters from various languages (thanks to the book by Saki Mafundikwa - Afrikan Alphabets). I wanted it to feel 'African' with colors and customized type.

bird and his nest

2008-01-19T16:13:00.000+01:00

Naleen

2008-01-09T20:28:00.000+01:00

CUT!

2007-10-07T21:42:00.000+02:00

New work led me to unexpected results. This is the new typeface I cut out of paper - cutted.

Popjazziada07

2007-10-04T20:21:00.000+02:00

It's about time to present my new project. It's a logo for a music event Popjazziada, where young vocal music groups show their best in performing jazz and pop. The next step is the poster, which I have to make until Thursday!
I made the logo by cutting & tearing the letters out of paper.

CD box experiment

2007-09-17T17:54:00.000+02:00

A little bit older project - a CD box. The only text on a box made out of black fabric is a silkscreen on the silk string that is wrapped around the box.

staying home is for pussies

2007-09-14T23:43:00.000+02:00

Before leaving it's polite to make a party for friends. And it's polite to make an invitation card as well. So here it is. Goodbye, home.

hybrid

2007-09-12T19:32:00.000+02:00

Hybrid is a typeface mixture, wanting to appear only for short headlines. Can't hope for more, since it's quite unreadable.

T-shirt

2007-09-09T18:46:00.000+02:00

goodbye, school!

parachute

2007-09-07T11:19:00.000+02:00

Business card for a fake company masa, which is producing parachutes.
One of the winners of :output.

2007-09-03T21:05:00.000+02:00

This is the unfinished font, which I plan to develop more in my final thesis. The idea was to combine sharp, geometric lines with organic forms. Technical and elegant.

sun

2007-08-17T18:20:00.000+02:00

I never know why we don't get more out of natural sources. Like sun for example.

2007-08-12T00:46:00.000+02:00

aquatint

2007-06-27T17:38:00.000+02:00

This year I was working on a print and became fascinated by the richness of colors and shapes that only a classical technique can offer. So here it is - my composition - a table with the boot.

botanical garden

2007-05-29T23:32:00.000+02:00

For our school project we had to design an identity for the Slovenian Botanical garden. Here's my idea for the poster. The text on the bottom is a sentence from a novel. It could be translated as: I heard how the grass was growing.

jazzva

2007-05-04T17:38:00.000+02:00

My friend is singing in a small jazz quire. After their concert I got so excited about their music, that I promised to create a visual identity for them. This is the first result, a logo. I've made around 2000 variations with ink and different sizes of brush.

Jazzva is a coffee-pot used mainly in the Balcan and Turkey. That's why the logo is coffee brown.

characters

2007-04-12T20:59:00.000+02:00

I've done this last September for an agency that was never paying for it, but at least they promised to never use it ... hmmm. I think designers need a "bad client" detector:)

simple thoughts

2007-04-11T22:34:00.000+02:00

This is an illustration I made recently for a project organized by students form my school. We had to visulalize a thought/song from anonymous author who is publishing on blog. In english, we could translate it to this:

When taking a bath, I remembered the morning, when I thought I was a racquet.

inspiring ...
