Freelance Stuff That Deserve Highlights
Hey hey,
If you are seeing this, it means you have shown interest in seeing my work beyond what you see on my main portfolio. I am welcoming you to a different kind of work that has not been released on any of my portfolios. These are the works I do as a freelancer which are not as large projects as the ones on my main portfolio but deserve highlights.
While most of my work revolves around branding, marketing and web design, I enjoy making animations and experimental graphics as much as I can. I do not consider myself a fully equipped animator but I make some cool motion design stuff. I also love making digital 2D art.
The purpose of this blog post is to highlight my previous freelance work and explain what kind of projects I’ve been involved beyond my main portfolio.

Throughout my freelance career I have collaborated with many musicians. I love helping artists create full spect visual stories around their music. Here are a few single and album covers that I have worked on whether it’s released or not.
PROJECT MARGINALIA

PROJECT MARGINALIA -
As the visual designer at Marginalia Label - created by the worldwide producer and DJ Elif, I deliver high resolution animated work for social media and Youtube and create EP covers for releases on Spotify, Soundcloud, Beatport and press. I first created the Marginalia branding from 0 - 10 with the help of 3 other creatives.
To get to know the Marginalia Label, one must check out https://www.marginalialabel.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/marginalia.label first.
For short, Marginalia refers to the marks made in the margins of a book or other document. They may be scribbles, comments, glosses (annotations), critiques, doodles, drolleries, or illuminations. For that, we decided that drolleries are the main subject for Marginalia’s identity design. Frames, decorative initials and floral like small illustrations can be used as supportive design elements.
The results are a combination of colorful animated creatures blended in with doodles, writings and vintage press look. Take a look yourself of what I’ve been creating for Marginalia since September 2023.

PROJECT BLÖBS

PROJECT BLÖBS -
One day, I was bored and wanted to try something different. When I get into this feeling of boredom I tend to turn to creation mode. Not just any creation though, I like to experiment with techniques and mediums that are unfamiliar to me so it is more entertaining. So I created BLÖBs. They are forever looping abstract animations that resemble breathing unfamiliar creatures.
BLÖBs in NYC Subway Station - Project by Artsy.net x Vellum LA
As the creator of the BLÖBs project my initial goal was to experiment. It suddenly became a huge project backed by Artsy.net and Vellum Gallery in Los Angeles. They were also blasted on the NYC subways.
These could be excellent for music visuals too. Whether it’s a music release cover, a beat synced release announcement video or background video for performing. I had some DJ friends buy some of these from me to use them as forever looping background visuals while performing on big stages.
