Imagining far away lands and kingdoms

Not so long ago I posted about thumbnail sketching and how fun it is to be able to draw conceptually without getting into details.

From time to time I really like to let my mind go and imagine places that only exist inside of it. As a kid growing up in the age of Dungeons & Dragons, and the Dragonlance franchise was very popular, I used to imagine places like this all the time. 

These days i’m much more influenced from concept art and industrial design, but it sure is nice to just sit and doodle castles, dragons and uncharted lands. 

All images are drawn on an A4 sheet of paper, so you get the proportions.

I’ll be glad to hear your thoughts…

White on white

During our Portfolio course, my good friend and designer Noa Paz and I, learned how to create beautifully illuminated photographs using noting but an open window in a darkened room.

The concept was to be able to shoot a well contrasted image of a white object on a white background. These are a few selected images from the whole photo set. It is of a white spray painted toy soldier in a dune made of flour.

The original images turned out blusih because of the tainted glass, so I used Photoshop to correct the white balance and contrast. Other than that the images are untouched.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

If you had read my previous post about my self branding, then you read what I wrote about developing an image for yourself.

As I wrote before, these things takes time to evolve, and change is only natural to occur.

In the last week I was doing some serious rethinking about the direction I took with my previous logo and image. I felt that there was too much going on in the same time, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

After talking to colleagues, friends and graphic designers, one colleague of mine, a very gifted and skilled designer; opened my eyes to the fact that the shape I chose, the parallelogram, formed naturally between the two Z letters in my first and last name.

It is funny how I have failed to notice this my self, especially because that was exactly what I was looking for all that time. And there it was, right in front of my eyes, hiding in plane sight.

So I took that symbol, and combined into the existing graphic style of my website, and what I ended up with, is what I feel is a more mature and pure branding.

Now I feel much more comfortable to give my upcoming business a push further, and my new business card is already in print (pictures to come soon!).
