LetterCult are having an AlphaBattle every now and then. Every battle is dedicated to another letter of the alphabet. This week featuring the letter U. Lots of great artworks there, and mine as well. Take a look here.

AlphaBattle - U

My new desktop wallpaper calendar has been published on Smashing Magazine. A little warm and colourful retro walpaper for the winter.
I made custom lettering for the word “December”, and for the digits I used a new font I’m working on these days.
The wallpaper is available in 6 sizes, both regular and wide screens, and with or without the calendar. Go on and download yours here.

A while ago, at design academy, we had a nice packaging project at typography class. The objective of the assignment was to create 2 packages for sugar and salt. We had to create the following:

• A new logo for the company (Sugat, which manufactures sugar, salt, pulses, etc.)
• A logotype for the line of products of choice (I created “Exotic”, which is supposed to bring you the scents and flavours of the far east.
• The packages.

Since I was aiming for the far-east, I created a logo which features the Lotus flower. I made the logotype of “Exotic” with custom lettering which shows the hebrew word with a Hindi (Devanagary) twist (thanks to my girlfriend who studies Hindi). I used the same type of lettering for the words “sugar” and “salt” on the packages. For the packages’ backgrounds I created indian-style patterns.

To sum it up, it was a fun project and I believe a nice outcome.

Here’s a glimpse, more photos at the gallery.

Long time ago I designed a poster showing the face of Jimi Hendrix in micrography. I made a new version of it (a Desktop Calendar) which is now featured on Smashing Magazine. You can see it here and download the image as a desktop wallpaper in 5 different sizes, for normal and wide screen, and with or without the calendar.

In the last days I’ve been working on an illustration I want to send to Smashing Magazine’s as a desktop wallpaper calendar. The idea here was to create a surreal, gloomy and threatening ambience. That’s what I had in mind for January!
For the drawing I used a Bamboo Wacom tablet, which is a little small, but quite easy to get used to.

Here is the final image:

And this is how it started, outlines only:

Also, it looks kind of nice even without the outlines:
