Back to original languageAbout Ismael
Hello! I am a Galician graphic designer and photographer born in Basel (Switzerland).
I consider myself a design freak; if I have a free afternoon, I spend it with pen and paper.
I am atheist, vegetarian, positive, I have a French bulldog, I love tattoos, and I don't watch TV.
I started my career as a designer and photographer in 2010. I currently have extensive knowledge in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I love creating a brand and giving it its own character that differentiates it from the rest.

- Vandalos
On Malt
Brand Development "Los Vándalos"September 2020 - September 2020Santiago de Compostela, EspañaJavier is in charge of a group of cyclists from Malaga who contacted me through Malt.They had a logo that needed refreshing and a more aggressive and groundbreaking character."Los Vándalos" were looking for an illustration of a barbarian on a bicycle that could be used as a logo. We started by brainstorming ideas for the barbarian's pose on the bike, and once we had it clear, I began designing. I proposed an illustrated version and some additional designs with cycling elements, which we later modified slightly. Finally, we chose the colors that best matched their kit."Los Vándalos" now have an attractive new image with several designs to be applied to their jerseys and various team materials they will print.A project I really enjoyed designing! - MonoCocoDesigner and PhotographerPRESS AND MEDIANovember 2017 - Today (8 years and 7 months)A Serra de Outes, SpainIn 2017, after working for years in the graphic arts and advertising sectors, I began my own freelance path.Without a doubt, the hardest part has been building my own client base, but with a lot of enthusiasm and drive, this adventure has been a success.

Al finalizar el curso hice las prácticas en una fabricante y distribuidora de gafas a nivel nacional e internacional. Luego continué en esta misma empresa 2 años siendo el encargado de material publicitario, reportajes fotográficos, fotografía de stock, redes sociales y gestión de la web.
- Intermediate Vocational Training in PrintingCIFP Compostela - Santiago de Compostela2012Mi interés por las artes gráficas no hizo más que crecer al realizar las prácticas y necesitaba comprender el proceso completo desde los primeros bocetos de un proyecto hasta como se imprime en varios sistemas de impresión. De esta forma comprendí distintos fallos que podría acarrear un mal diseño y como se podrían solucionar. Me formé en Offset, Serigrafía, Tampografía, Rotulación e impresión digital.
