quarterly, not monthly. Due to the relocation of certain team members and the pursuit of long-awaited creative careers, we will be unable to deliver the same type of quality each month (and you know how big we are on quality). This by no means resembles the beginning of an end, in fact, it is a new beginning and a new adventure for us all.

Branka Injac (aka Baki) Editor & Creative Director

Editor’s Note Dear friends and readers, As you may have noticed, it has taken a while to release the October issue. I apologise in advance to the wonderful (and patient) artists who we have interviewed this month, your understanding is greatly appreciated. The fact of the matter is that, just like any relationship, the relationship between b* creative and our readers is about to change – evolve into a new bond. The year 2011 will see the magazine published

We will still be conducting monthly interviews with established and aspiring creatives, which will be showcased on our website. Every four months we will be putting together a big ‘season’ issue which will contain loads of inspiration and the interviews which we have performed. In a way, we will be setting you all up with a creative boost for the months to come, so that you never feel like you’re lacking any inspiration. Also, we will be focusing a lot more on our website, where continuous mind-moving projects, masterpieces, resources and inspiration will be available to you only a click away. If you have any suggestions or requests, please don’t hesitate to let us know as we are always looking to improve and give our readers what they desire. I am off now to prepare for the festive season and I wish you all a merry Christmas, happy new year and magnificent celebrations of what we feel will be an amazing time to come. So until next time, don’t forget to: Imagine. Believe. Create. Achieve. Cover: Gorilla Hat by Robin Va/auli

1. Name, surname and place of residence. Branko Starčević, Belgrade, Serbia 2. What sparked your passion for graphic design / photography / illustration/ writing / art? A quick expression of ideas and the fact that I’m a geek. 3. How creative were you as a child? Hahahah, ask my parents :) 4. Where do you draw inspiration from when you set out to make one of your photographs? If we are talking specifically about movement, I get the inspiration directly from the model, the feeling in that particular moment, and the spontaneity of what will be shot. If I am taking photos of architecture or something static – which I also love doing and it does

6. What sort of education have you had? Photography school (black and white developing and later digital ) and a lot of working experience as an assistant and later a photographer. Now I’m free lancing with my own studio … Lots of professional projects… 7. Tell us a little bit about your first project and how you feel about it now? Movement is actually my first serious project on which I have been working for quite a few years now. This project is not just photography as the background contains several

www.brankostarcevic.com other elements: music, choreography, the clothes the subjects wear and finally the atmosphere that is created – all of these become the photograph. The core of this project are the shapes of the human body that are captured in the photograph. A shape that exists but isn’t part of our everyday lives. 8. Tell us your philosophy on creativity. II think the answer to this lies in question 5. 9. Whose work do you admire and why? I have an enormous amount of respect for the work of the Austrian photographer Robert Staudinger.

What has been your greatest achievement so far? Several of my photographs being published in the Febuary 2010 issue of the American magazine Interior Design.

At the moment I’m big on facebook and twitter :) But in terms of industry type stuff, I follow a lot of different things, I’m part of the photo forum on LinkedIn and that’s where I gather a lot of interesting information. I like strobist. com – it’s got a lot of cheap and creative resources for photographers. 12. What is your favourite book/magazine? PHOTO - French magazine, one of the oldest photo magazines in the world I also like the British magazine CREATIVE REVIEW. 13. What are your plans for the future? Improving my skills and holding exhibitions. I have a big project which requires a lot of time because I have to travel through the greater part of Europe. I hope that I’ll manage to finish it in the near future and you’ll definitely be informed about it. All I can say right now is that the subject matter is architecture. 14. What is your advice for aspiring creatives? Effort and determination always work. When you put a lot in, it’s easy to recognize your ideas and bring them to life. 15. Personal motto? This question is the most difficult of all :)

Dry Soda @ The Dieline Designed by Turnstyle Studio “DRY Soda has introduced a fresh new packaging look with bold, graphic illustrations that pop the flavor on each bottle and 4-pack carrier. Clear bottles allow the purity of the product to show through and the founder’s signature still on each bottle connotes a sense of craft

behind each flavor’s recipe. From DRY Soda Co.: So why the change? DRY Soda launched in 2005. In that time DRY has evolved from its beginnings on the white tablecloths of the country’s finest restaurants, to finding huge success in grocery stores, cafés, and other retail locations across the US and Canada. Every day we hear from DRY customers about how they love DRY’s flavors and we’re continually inspired by the ways people are pairing and mixing DRY with their favorite foods and spirits. We wanted DRY’s design to emphasize the flavors that make DRY Soda so unique. So DRY’s new design helps communicate the best parts of DRY Soda—its distinctive

flavors and its uniqueness as a less sweet, four ingredients, all natural soda. And while it was hard to let the old design go, we think this new design fits DRY perfectly. DRY’s new look was designed by Seattle-based Turnstyle. I started working with these great guys back when DRY was just an idea in my head. These incredibly talented designers took my vision for DRY and created a beautiful bottle worthy of the best restaurants in the US and now they have done it again—taking all that is great about DRY and reflecting that on the bottle in a way that will help us continue to reach new consumers.” - Salih Kucukaga for The Dieline

Tell us a little bit about your first project and how you feel about it now? I think my first real project was working on the album artwork for Rivers Church’s album in 2009, Above the Sound. I had to learn enough Illustrator to redo the entire booklet in a day and get it to the printers in time! I feel the project turned out really well and I still feel like it was a great project, it was really an honour to be able to contribute to it! 8. Tell us your philosophy on creativity.

featuring*

I think creativity is inside everyone, but it only becomes visible when you choose to nurture it and grow yourself in those areas specifically. I also think that, like any profession or career, practice makes perfect... Eventually! I try to keep up to date with current trends, read design blogs, buy magazines, listen to music etc. to try and keep myself hungry for growth and stay contemporary! Creativity is really something that needs to be cultivated on a daily basis, whether or not you were born creative. Everyone has the ability to be creative in their own capacity, it just takes an open mind and a will to learn (as does everything in life). 9. Whose work do you admire and why? Wow, there are honestly too many to mention! I am constantly inspired and encouraged by watching the work of all my friends on the Behance network. Guys like John Mark Herskind and Tarin Yuangtrakul have always been there for me to challenge me to greater heights and to give me constructive criticism. In addition, their work is amazing and we always give each other tips to help our work get better. Alex Pardee, however, has been my artistic role model for years. I admire his work because he isn’t scared to be different. He has also worked for some of my fa-

You can see his work the map as a creative community at www.eyesuckink.com. to be reckoned with worldwide! :)

10. What has been your greatest achievement so far? I think getting featured along with Tarin Yuangtrakul on the Behance network for our collab was definitely a highlight. In addition, one of my pieces is going to be featured in Advanced Photoshop soon which is very exciting! Other than that, I think my greatest achievement so far is being able to freelance and be earning enough money to live haha. It’s also really cool to be getting positive comments on my Behance profile from artists and designers that I’ve admired for ages. It’s definitely an honour!

14. What is your advice for aspiring creatives? Follow your heart and make sure you use your talents! Just do your best in everything you set your hands to & be humble. We all have our moments when we think we’re the Vincent van Gogh 2.0, but when we look back at our work a year later we realise it wasn’t as great as we thought it was! Try and network as much as possible, be open to learning, ask plenty of questions and show respect where respect is due.

Made of Frutz @ The Dieline Ecuadorian design firm GWORKSHOP was challenged to create a new brand of fruit products to be introduced into the Ecuadorian market and later to the rest of the world. Creative Director, José Luis García Eguiguren, says “I started looking for names and came up with the idea to focus on the product: fruit. So why not call it “MADE OF FRUTZ”? In order to register the name worldwide, I had to accommodate the letters to say ‘FRUTZ’ instead of ‘FRUITS’.” “The main concept of the project was to create a simple but clear overview of the fruits using color and photography. I used a stripe that crosses all the fruits to give a sense of elegance

and softness. This wellstructured logo includes a delicate detail of a leaf in the corner to depict the richness and the naturalness of the fruits. The sophistication and maturity of the black background contrasts with the energetic and vibrant colors of the front panel and fruits. On the top panel the main shapes of the fruits unify the products as a one family of products.

On the back panel I thought about giving back something to he mother earth. The message ‘SEMBRAR ES CHEVERE - INTENTALO’ means ‘PLANTING IS COOL –TRY IT’. By displaying this message, the company invites the consumers to take action. To plant seeds as they “cultivate” them through MADE OF FRUTZ.” - Ivan Navarro for The Dieline

Featuring: Drfranken My artistic side came since childhood especially on the fatherÂ´s side. My father was a great artist. He painted using all sorts of techniques such as oil, charcoal, pencil, watercolor. My mother also paints very well and loves the arts. I used to draw in school, on the streets and everywhere. I always carried a small notebook and some color pencils. 4. Where do you draw inspiration from when you set out to make one of your illustrations? I am inspired by anything, although I love dark environments and the black color. 5. If you could describe your work in 3 (or 5) words, what would they be? My art is a combination of 3D digital techniques, airbrush, photography and code. I try to express my emotions in every work and come to the eyes who watch them.

The truth is that it was a great experience and a personal challenge very positive. 8. Tell us your philosophy on creativity. The truth is that I have no theory of creativity, since it is an extremely complex concept. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something innate in every person, whether or not an artist. What is certain is that not everyone develops their creativity, and even never we come to know and understand all our creative abilities.

ROCKIN’ THE PINUP By Violeta VIOLETISH Jovanovic

If you’re in a hurry and still want to be stylish – go pinup style! Pinup style – my favourite lately. OMG, have you ever seen pictures of pinup girls. So sensual. So erotic. Those eyes and red lips… looks like they’ve spent a lot more time

dressing up than they actually have. Did you know that pinup make up is one of the easiest and quickest looks you can do? ‘No way, I could never do that eyeliner thing’ I hear you say. Well, why not at least try it? It takes a little bit of practice I admit, but nowadays cosmetic companies have made things easier for all of us by producing different kinds of eyeliner (liquid, gel) and, more importantly, different kinds of applicators. So go out and find the one that suits you best and start practicing. And there’s more good news – if you also like to be trendy, you won’t go wrong with this look since pinup is suggested for the coming season by many designers, at least when it comes to makeup. The Cleopatra look is also highly recommended,

only in a slightly more subtle way than she used to do it. So in order to get the pinup look right, here’s a couple of suggestions (and we’re sticking to the makeup and hair here, not the clothing). Most designers have looked back at the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s for inspiration. I guess they got tired of dressing us for the future and trying to be innovative, when there’s no more room for real innovation in fashion – we’ve seen it all. So, going retro, but using modern fabrics is, in my opinion, FANTASTIC! Highwaisted skirts and pants (oh how they make my legs appear so much longer) are always a plus. Fabulous coats and fur (not animal of course) also play their part. This might be the best time to look through your

mother’s or grandmother’s old wardrobe or to hit some vintage stores if your budget does not allow for Prada, Fendi, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, D&G, Rochas, Luis Vuitton – yes, they’ve all gone retro baby! When it comes to colors for this season the most recommended one is beige and all its shades. Pastel colors are also a must. And no, you’re not gonna see those anywhere near me, because I simply dislike them. But for those who do like these palettes, this season is going to be a fiesta, because the stores are going to be packed. The rest of us will just be naked till spring. Ok, so this was a fashion part of me. Stay tuned.
