Terrestrial Species

Artifacts

It's always interesting, albeit not necessarily uplifting, to see how my work is used by other people. Last year, I was hired to design a logo and a poster for a linguistic conference, that was held last week. Below are some items made using my design elements. Linen bag, booklet, and name badge. (NB. I was not involved in the making of these products.)

Clay sculptures

Typography Experiment

While cleaning up my computer I came across the remains of a logo I was going to design for a Swiss client a few years ago. The project has long been abandoned. This time, I've played around a bit with the simplified Gothic-like lettering concept I had originally had in mind.

Orange heads

The client requested a name day e-card. This was the first comp I presented them, and it got rejected right away. I had fun making it nevertheless.

My friend Philip Konya has completed the new version of his portfolio.

Baby swordfish illustration

I've just designed some baby rompers for a couple of friends in our sailing team who are becoming daddies this year.

My initial sketches looked like this:


However, I soon came to realise that they had nothing to do with swordfish but looked more like mutant dolphins or something. So I rechecked my references and came up with this sketch:


There was still something fishy about it though. So eventually, I changed the proportions of the body to give it a younger and more vivid look.


Update: Two quick shots of the finished product.

Some character design

I've been experimenting with character design over the weekend. I need two slightly retroish latins for a project. Not sure how or if I will use them though. I'm afraid they might just be too spotless for what I have in mind.
