Portfolio with nice images is published at Behance Network
I thought of creating yet another website with projects, services, etc., but suddenly realized that I’ve already have some (both of them are in Russian, but still: RockBee Design, my own studio, and Molinos.Ru Studio – Ad. Agency’s department, which I manage). But still, I’m willing to share some links to my works, and recalled my Behance profile. There they are described in English, so, here we go: be.net/rockbee.
RockBee Typefoundry: my fonts are now available at myfonts.com website
I have created several typeface since 2007. Some of them are already available at myfonts.com — you can buy them and use in your design projects. RB Naftalin is available for free. RB Steel, RB Monsters, RB Tenknon, RB Teknokrat, RB Blockerstyers can be bought. RB Brandey Taller, Norse Gods and two more secret families (I'm working at right now) are going to be available at MyFonts soon.
Most of these typefaces appeared as a part of brand identities or after they were finished. I also have apprx. 35 ideas for some other typefaces, but they are waiting for their hour. I’m thinking about publishing my sketches here, on this website.
My upcoming book on Brand Identities and Trademarks
Right now I’m working on my book about creating brand identities and registering trademarks in Russia. It describes the process, the way I see it. Starting with interviews, goals, choosing specialists and team, continuing with media planning and selection of physical identity carriers, developing identity, paying attention to typography (selecting typefaces or creating new ones), ending with production issues and implementation of newly created identity.
For July, 2011, the book contains 12 chapters out of 17. There is a huge amount of technical illustrations (examples picked from my projects).
