Client: Bulgarian Mint of the Bulgarian National Bank

Task: Graphic design of a catalog including a representative part of the manufactured products, their description and technical characteristics.

Design work: I started the project by photographing most of the products, color processing and photo retouching. The challenge at this stage was to adjust the light and set up the technique to capture even the smallest details on the coins, medals and other products. In the subsequent color processing of the images, I had to make sure that the various metals and surfaces were correctly reproduced. For the cover I created an abstract, image design using the emblem of the Bulgarian Mint. The design of the internal pages focuses on the products, with each section being distinguished by its own color scheme.

Client: Fun Science

Task: Graphic design and illustrations for a children's play scripts.

Design work: I started work on this project having a predefined release format. The technical limitations were that unlike the cover, which is full color, the body of the book had to be printed in only two colors. Given the children's audience for which the script is intended, I made the design in a comic book style. I used the style of the character from the client's logo as a starting point when creating the rest of the illustrations in the booklet.

Client: Nestle Bulgaria

Task: Redesign of chocolate packaging. The general location of the elements is preserved, but the new larger nutrition information must be placed. The name of the product should be more readable. The picture of the product should be larger.

Realization of the project: Given the increase in many of the elements, the manufacturer's logo had to be drastically reduced at the expense of the product name. I made the inscription clean and easily readable, which was contributed by the additional distance between the letters. I retouched the visualization of the chocolate bar to take up more space. I reduced the background activity in certain places and merged it visually with the product through an ascending rounded shape, which contributed to the clearer graphic rhythm in the package.
