Being a self-taught graphic designer, with a constant desire for drawing and making progress, I’ve never “forced” myself with some formal education in the field of visual arts. All credit goes to my grandpa and my mom, who also had a natural talent for drawing and an eye for beauty. I can remember clearly, sitting in my grandpa’s lap with a pen bigger than me, trying to capture and copy those deer, rabbits, and other creatures made out of short and sharp lines by my grandpa’s trembling hand. Let’s say that it was my first touch with this amazing world of drawing. As far as I’m concerned, since then I have been living the fable. Kindergarten, school, jobs… everywhere I see animals with human characteristics and humans with animal characteristics. So, logically, that note of “animality” is visible in most of my designs. Logo design came into my life more than a decade ago. Actually, it appeared earlier, from time to time… as a sign that there is something other than work in corporations (which was my job at the time). I was slowly entering that world, watching how other people display and improve their skills, learning software from its basics, and drawing, drawing, drawing… 24/7, without a single moment of boredom or issues about where this was going. Some call it passion!
When a logo has to be made, all comes from the brief. If a client has the vision and sense for this kind of art, there is a foundation for a healthy and constructive relationship, that can only produce a strong and timeless identity. Clients usually see and feel where my biggest inspiration comes from, and in general, they leave it to me to connect their business philosophy with the visual form. Searching for the right visual symbol can be pretty difficult. First, you need to be able to visualize something which can assemble most of the aspects that are substantially related to the theme. Second, in most cases, all that has to be threaded and realized in a subtle way. Third, fourth, fifth… stands for a continuous dance with the pen until it’s all transformed into an eye-candy mark.
The inspiration is found in the people I love, in animals, in nature around me, and in delicious musical beats.
It is important that we listen to and follow the spark in us because, as someone once said, “on second thought, that first thought was way cooler”.
