Unnamed superhero character concept for... I can't remember what. It was a long time ago.

Goddess rehired, re-fired

I noticed that the entry on my Minerva logo design from 2007 has received a couple of hits from search engines recently, which reminds me to add some brief follow-up on this project.

Last year, when the illustration was about to be reused for a branding project, I applied some modifications to it: I tweaked the helmet to add a more natural perspective to it and redrew the plume because I thought it looked haphazard.

Sadly, the project was put on hold indefinitely, so my goddess is still unemployed.

Follow-up: Sisters on board

 

Blind date

  

Illustration and coupon design for the Vakvarjú restaurant chain in Budapest.

Vakvarjú literally means 'blind crow', hence the restaurant's mascot and logo, but the name itself comes from a popular nursery rhyme and a kind of dish served in the restaurant.

Sisters on board

"Sisters on board" car sticker design.

[Back to school] Miscellaneous projects

Some more stuff from the design course I took in 2009/2010.

Billboard, theme: radio stations. (A take on an actual campaign.)

Fake product packaging for an ad spot

Cd cover

 

An alternate concept and a look behind the scenes:

Cheesy avatars

I used to play an online game called Erepublik and these are some of the avatars I made for various units of the once powerful eHungarian army.

Smoking Santa from 2005

I volunteered to design a poster for a mid-term party organised by a couple of daring students of the nearby university back in 2005. I would probably take a bolder approach today to depicting Santa Claus persuing unusual pleasures, but anyway, it came out nice and most of all, my clients were satisfied.

The final poster out on the streets, rain-washed:

Sunday afternoon

Digital sketch.

[Back to school] Fake postcard

From Fake postcard

This was a recent art school project: create a fake foreign postcard using digitally unaltered photos taken in your home area. It had to be sent in by mail, too.

I got Vietnam, which was a tricky one since it's so very different from Central Europe. The closest link I could find was communist/industrial Vietnam.

We had 3 weeks to complete the project but I did it really quickly to leave ample time for printing and postal delivery. So I took the pictures in one afternoon within 2 kms of where I live and put the card together overnight.

It was printed on 250 g Super Gloss paper.

The arrangement on the front was inspired by the ornaments on one of the gates of the university in Hanoi. The little oriental character on the back was traced from an original piece of Vietnamese folk art I found on Flickr.

From Fake postcard

The sign on the front is the name of some traditional Vietnamese dish that translates to "Steamed dog's meat", it's repeated on the back side and the additional line is a Vietnamese proverb saying "Eat as [little as] a cat". I think.

Click to see the original photos and some others of sort-of-colonial/oriental-looking houses that were not used in the end.
