My own hand-made B&W vector clip-art


Program: Adobe Illustrator.
I wanted to create my own vector clip-art collection. But I left this idea because it took a lot of time and i didn't see how to monetize it to get profit.

Amber Dog magazine (2008)


 www.amberdog.lv

They invited me to make restyling of their magazine. Before, they used designers from outside their company. As a result, at that moment they didn't have any source files. I had to create everything from a very beginning. It wasn't first time for me. They provided me a good computer with two monitors. In my opinion, it's very convenient for magazine layouting. And my experience included image processing and retouching for a magazine cover as well.


Real Estate Catalogue

When i was a small boy... when i was a magazine designer...

http://www.balthaus.lv/ In 2005 i took a part in producing of a Real Estate Catalogue (twice a year). More than 270 pages. It had a lot of financial articles, tables with important information and so on... I had to create all object's and paragraph styles from a very beginning.
Four designers prepared ads, images for me. I had to compile all of them in one ready-to-print catalogue. Since that catalogue sometimes had to have 3 languages on the same page we had to use OpenType fonts like Myriad Pro and Times New Roman. They handle Unicode characters.
