THE DAVAOIST: graphic design

That happy pirate (he's not really a pirate)with the big smile up there is Jon Tarranza. He can pretty much be called as one of the most sought after graphic designers in the city right now. His graphic design firm/business named Hue Dare that he runs with his girlfriend have been doing really good since it started out in 2011. At Hue Dare they create mind blowing designs for band logos,t-shirts, album covers, and even flyers. It is absolutely a must for you to try and check out their works on Hue Dare's Facebook Page.

What I really like about Jon's works are the lines. I mean if you look at some of his works, especially some intended for t-shirt , you will definitely be amazed on how he makes use of those lines to add astonishing details to his designs. I had the opportunity to watch him at work when I tried to see what's happening on a digital art exhibit that took place that year, and I tell you that was a pretty awesome sight. It was like watching a spider creating his web- careful and and precise, and you just know that he is going to create something impressive in the end.

Here are some of Jon's Illustrations

Mark Jay Caccam is master of photo manipulation. He now works as a freelance graphic designer at Odesk and he is probably raking in a lot of clients judging on the high quality output that he can create. You will surely never get bored if you visit his gallery in deviantart.com, especially if you like those really visually stimulating graphics which can only be achieved with the proper skills and as well as tools in the craft of turning ordinary images into totally majestic pieces.

I think the best artworks of Mark are the ones which he used the skull element. I am a big fan of skulls. I think the skull and the idea that it symbolizes is very profound. That is the reason why I think that every artist should treat it with respect whenever they try to incorporate it with their work. This guy may or may have not known that but he is doing a really fine job at it. His portfolio can surely make you see the limitless possibilities of the field in digital art that he have chosen. They may even take you to a place which is way beyond that.
