Back from the gift fair

Posted in Drawing & Painting, News, Product Design on August 8th, 2009 by Mario Troise – Be the first to comment

Remember the project I said I was working with? I’m working as an art director at Smuzi, a fresh new design brand that produces utilities and packaging.

I’ve been out last week working at a gift fair called Brazil Promotion. We released all the products and got in touch with many new clients.

I’m organizing the photos now and will upload them soon. I just need some time to relax.

Bad paper

This is all I got from a terrible paper for watercolor. If there is something that botters me is bad paper. Even for studying, cheap paper is always crap.

Things are getting better as the semester ends. I’m finally having more time to dedicate to my personal projects! I’m working on a game console concept and – finally – studying music theory again. I will keep the blog updated.

I don’t like to leave the blog alone for so long, but my days have been extremely busy. This is my return, and I’ve got 2 images to share. Both of them are part of a new product line I’m creating. It’s easy to discover what was my reference for the first one!

Yoyo illustrations for t-shirts

My friend Takeshi asked me to make an image for the Indiana State Yo-yo Contest, so I did this illustration this morning:

Simple but stylish, huh? I enjoy making yoyoing related art, but I’m starting to move to other fields such as skateboarding and snowboarding.

Here is another yoyoing design (this one is from Vulto):

Flip-flops and headaches

I’ve been working round the clock this week, even after finishing my most demanding project on Monday. I’m dividing my time between my courses, work at Vulto and research for a new brand I’m creating. I’m also training a guy at work and hiring a new designer.

Just when I thought it would be impossible to find time for everything a journalist called me to schedule an interview. Then, some friends asked me to create a logo for a business course. How could I say no? 

I really don’t know how I did it, but I managed to meet the journalist in the morning, create the logo, work and study. I never have headaches, but today it was inevitable… Well, at least the logo looks fine!
