Tempi train crash "justice" key visual

 

Art direction: Dimitris Klonos

Reference graphic design tutorial: Spoon Graphics

Many of us can't forget about the terrible train crash that happened at Tempi Greece on 2023. The accident cost the lives to many people. Until now, years after, still the case is full of shadows and justice still hasn't done it's duty, so tragedies like that won't happen again. 

At some point I was watching a graphic design tutorial  and I thought I could adapt the visual concept to an idea about Tempi. The tutorial had to do with creating a typographical portrait. 

So I chose the portrait of Justice statue. The typography part was created out of the names of the victims of the crash. The main slogan was "They ask for justice."

Every year Art street 52 and Greek Woodturners team gather together and make spinning tops. The tops are then donated to a non profit organisation for a good cause. To celebrate the event they organise a top battle on which winners get small gifts as memorials of the event. 

I designed vector characters that are both fighters and spinning tops. It's a viking, a wrestler and a ninja character. It is always a lot of fun for me to design for such events.

5 reasons to love woodworking

Production: Dimitris Klonos

This is a video I created to promote my woodworking you tube channel scrap wood city.

All the illustrations are vector graphics and use colors from a color palette I chose  especially for this video. 
I wanted the video to have a retro-modern feel and this is the reason I chose this shaky effect along with film scratches effect for it. I also wanted the illustrations to be simple and kind of abstract.

I hope you like it!

Client: Wind Stores

These are backgrounds, created for wind stores, in order to communicate 

a cocktail offer of internet, home telphone and mobile phone, and free calls in Greece

for wind stores customers.

The magic word of the brief was "combination" in that case. 

So the first concept was coktail combination of mobile, internet and home line.

The second was Greek coffee with a little friendly chat through the

home telephone. 

There are more visuals belonging to the same brief but those where

Isaac Zakar's artwork (Isaac is an ex colleague and good friend).

I really enjoyed the creative process of those visuals. 

Wind stores catalogue covers

Illustrator: Konstantinos Protogeridis

Advertising agency: Geo Y&R

Client: Wind Stores

These are covers for wind stores mobile phone catalogue.

These are two different covers from two different editions of
the catalogue. In both cases the brief said that from the cover
the consumer should be able to understand that in Wind stores
he could find many communication solutions in one spot

So at some point we created a cover with pins that had
communication symbols on them with a fun touch.

And in the other case we created a swisss army knife
that instead of many tools it had communication symbols.

the sketch a bit I added some colour with Photoshop.

I really like black and white drawing with simple stuff, like pens and

markers and I also like adding shadows in a gravourish way!
