Hello There!
Welcome to my graphic design portfolio. As a creative and passionate designer with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in brand identity and I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to collaborate with talented individuals.
I believe that good design goes beyond aesthetics. It must be functional, effective, and visually appealing. I take pride in my work and strive to create designs that exceed my clients' expectations.
Thanks for visiting!
Intro
As a graphic designer, I have to say that creating my own logo has been one of the toughest jobs I have ever done. It's safe to say that as designers, we are our own worst critics. When we become the client, it becomes even harder to decide on just one style. This was certainly the case for me. Over the years, I have created a few logos for myself, but I have never been completely satisfied with them. However, in this particular case, I made a conscious effort to do things right. I took my time and got really involved in every step of the creation process, which ultimately led me to a satisfactory outcome.
So, let me tell you how it all started...
Background-Research
Throughout my life, I have always been fascinated by the mythology of the old continent. One of my favorites has always been the ancient tales of the Nordic region. Recently, I started researching antique runes and their meanings. I was intrigued by the simple line language and decided to use some of the symbols in my design.
Starting with this idea, I brainstormed on how to name my logo and what I wanted it to represent. I decided to use my name "Lucia" as a base, which is related to "Light" in Latin, and began developing some design concepts.
The entire process took a while, including extensive research on topics that were meaningful to me and my creative process. After several weeks of research and development, I finalized the name of my logo:
"Lucxius Triad".
Graphic Concept
Main ideas and concepts to be considered :
• Geometric shapes.
• Monochromatic secondary colors.
• Juxtaposition fonts.
• Illustration abilities to be depicted somehow.
Exploration, Drafts & Sketching
Before starting the digital process, several hand sketches were done. In the early stages, it became evident that a diamond shape was forming with the already-chosen rune combination.
Concepts
After sketching different shapes, five designs were tested and reviewed by colleagues before finalizing.

Uses and Simplified version.
It was crucial to incorporate illustration capabilities in the logo, but a simplified version was created for flexibility.
