As a designer I find it difficult not to judge a book by its cover
My name is Claudiu Popa and I am a graphic designer based in Sibiu, Romania. I see myself as a free spirit and a creative professional. I have more than ten years of experience in printing as I work in a local printshop but also as a freelancer at home. I love my work and I'm truly addicted to graphic design.

MAX is an italian restaurant in Sibiu. This client asked for a logo design that's clear and modern. A custom blend of red Frutiger Black and  handwritten signature delivers a fresh and crisp look. (more)

ROMRAST

........................................................... logo design and slogan creation

RomRast is the Romanian branch of the german brand RASTAL.

They asked for a logo design to suggest their glassware business and a slogan to match while being catchy, at the same time. In English, this would be "A shape for your taste" (more)
