Yesterday I was writing about my freelance career with Behance and suddenly found this cool project I've made for one Russian bank. There are sketches and middle variants I never showed so this post comes unique and hope it will be interesting for others since yesterday me personally was amazed of this.
It's fun when I am writing about myself immediately getting an inspiration thinking like Wow, am I really created this?
Supposed to be cobranded Promsvyazbank and Moscow Gorky Part cards so I wanted to show happy people laying down in nature. Quickly found these refs on Shutterstock.
As you know I really fond of happy, relaxed people so it was easy and joyful sketching. I know some are getting mad seeing happy faces all around but I like them if it is not a mask of happiness of course. Was nice to draw winter while resting in hot Thai summer that time by the way.
They've approved the middle one asking to add some details and all the logos before we go coloring so we can adjust the composition before it's too late.
They even didn't ask me to make his face look nicer. Glad I've realized it should be improved on my own. Here is how the coloring process started. I've found proper gamma, made simple forms and then found myself drawing details on the face because it was the most interesting part of the work. When I was satisfied with the face I've done other things.
I found this photo from a client. They had special card printer right in the office tested my new designs together with iPhone cases. Unfortunately, it's Instagram filtered.
Final approved image looked like that. There are two more cards and lots of unapproved middle sketches with different ideas. I am planning to show you soon. What do you say?
Pretty cool card design, I would love to have one of those. German credit card designs are mostly very boring... The only card that's not that boring is the one from N26 ... But just because it's transparent...
Thank you :) There was a bank in Russia allowing to upload and print any image to a card. It was cool. Unfortunately it's gone...
That would be just perfect for me ☺️ I would love to have my profile header as a credit card 😀
Haha! Yeah, absolutely same for me!
Adorable sketches and I especially love seeing your design process. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing your forthcoming work!
Thanks!
Looks really good, I can imagine it makes you happy to see them back! Must have been a nice surprise for the ones who received such nice credit cards instead of the boring ones most banks have... well done.
Yeah, I even got one for myself. There was a contest which my sister @inspirations won so they gifted prepayed $100 card with this image to her in Facebook. But I’ve lost it unfortunately :) luckily it happened after the money being spent there :P
Excellent. you gave me energy to design more :) is what I do, but I have not published anything in my bolg. Soon I will publish something like that. Success
You should definitely try! It’s worth it!
These are awesome! I just love your style - your use of color - it all creates such a fun interpretation! Great work :)
Thanks a lot!
This looks like an amazing product. And you also just made me think. I have a few credit cards that always say you can use your own image, Why have I not designed my own style. True, It'd be only for me, but hey I'd still like it.
I love the final one they chose the colours really pop.
Thank you so much! Do you have such a services in banks in your country? I wish I had it here with my favorite card. I don't mind to buy such a services but somehow our banks all stopped providing this.
Desain kartu yang menarik
Andai bank-bank yang ada terus berinovasi yang sama pada desain kartu pasti akan lebih menarik
Да, так оно и есть, чувак :)
