Apples are tasty!

Robert — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 08:23:50 +0000

I’ve come up with new piece for current Infectious contest – it’s called “Apples are tasty!”.
Guys at Infectious are creating the special line of their laptop covers designed for Macs – with the Apple
logo cut-out in the middle.
So – here’s the illustration I’ve made for it. If you like it and would like to comment or vote for it at Infectious site, that would be very nice of you indeed ;)

TradingVans.co.uk

We’ve created another cool web design which is heavily based on the illustration.
It’s for site called TradingVans.co.uk which is a site where you can trade your van (as you might already have guessed).
The client gave us a total creative freedom (yes – there still such great people around;).
The result is a eye-catching, easy to use and funny design.

If you would like to know how was the process of creating the design and the monkey character – keep reading;).

First – we figure out the phrase “it’s not a monkey business” together with the client.
That give us a idea who the character might be – a monkey.
Since we wanted the design to be funny – our choice was the chimp (as in my humble opinion – those are the funniest monkey of all kind;).

We thought it’ll suite (and make the chip even more funny) if he’ll wear a “salesman uniform” – that is blue shirt and tie.

Than we’ve added the colors and shading

The client was given the draft – he liked it and we proceed with the design itself.

Since the whole idea was build around the monkey character – it felt good to have a banana in the logo

Ronin – illustration for Skatedecks design challenge

Robert — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:34:03 +0000

I obviously didn’t have enough after publishing my last piece for Infectious design challenge.
So – I’ve made another one.
“Ronin” is inspired by the japanese samurai culture – which is something I was always interested in. (btw. I guess everybody knows that, but Ronin actually means a samurai without a shogun (lord) he could obey).
Anyway – I hope you like it enough to go to Infectious and put some votes on it (again;).
