  • V and V Stroj - Chaika project 2008
  • A very neat, little booklet, about an luxury residential building in Chaika (a neighbourhood near St. Constantin and Helena resort), which took a colossal amount of work, redesigning somebody’s bad architectural drawings. Actually all the floorplans and interiors were created from scratch, by hand tracing the confusing plans of unknown person, which calls himself an architect…

  • 16th International Folklore Festival - Varna
  • Amajor achievement for me, finally I have done something little for the culture of our city - and of course I have done it my way, despite what the PR’s of the municipality wanted - I gambled and won. At the end of the year, the agency that I am working for, was awarded (with […]

  • V and V Stroj
  • V and V Stroj - building company, had totalitarian times looking logo and advertising, so redesigning their entire business outlook was necessary. They actually wanted to keep the original logo and then we decided to fresh it up a little.

    Most interesting and challenging was the booklet, containing all their projects in the past two years, […]

  • Safinat group of companies
  • This is project still in negotiation, so I cannot say much about it. This logo is based on their original idea of classy looking, old-fashioned logo speaking for company with traditions in sailing and shipping. As reference, a picture of a huge marble floor, was given to me, which represented some of the key elements […]

  • Pesni na brega (lit. Songs on the shore), is a Macedonian folklore festival, which took place in Varna last year, sponsored by Macedonian cultural society in my home town. This was their first festival and they badly needed some kind of identity for this event. I was asked to make them some kind of logo […]

  • Dilettante ?
  • Inspired by Bulgarian literature avant-garde, and especially by Chavdar Mutafov’s Dilettante, I have created this logotype for personal use. It is based on Bodony typeface proportions, but bares little or no resemblance to it, dough I just started by twisting and turning the original letter forms. I am still thinking over the idea of turning […]

  • The big nostalgy
  • I rarely use that one, and it still desperately needs polishing. But I grew up with it. And it is so nostalgic looking. I know that everybody (living in Bulgaria) will immediately recognize that one, an exact replica of the display typeface used in 1975 series of philosophy books published by “Nauka i izkustvo”. I […]

At that time I and Ivaylo Borissov (a dear friend of mine) were trying to create an online multimedia magazine called “Sputnik Media”, dough we newer finished […]

What about the current issue...

So it finally happened…After so many years, I have finally dropped multimedia and web design, for good I hope… Last year, I have decided that such a burden is too much for one man to carry - print and web design do not get along, for me at least…. , and if I want to be truly professionally involved in print advertising, I had to stop being the one man army. So as part of growing wiser, I’ve decided to take this beautifully readymade blog template, touch it up to my taste, and here it is …
