My name is Nikola Vulchev and I’m second-year-student in Veliko Tarnovo University. I’m studying, as well as practicing fine arts - painting. Two years ago I graduated graphic design at high school of arts and design in Kazanlak. Most of the works in this portfolio are not actual functioning designs, but school tasks. Here are some of my works:

An entry for a freelance contest - logo variations for mobile app about hiking
yazda Creating these two I was searching for a flat and simple look, suitable for a mobile device interface combined with the game of associations, using the letters.
The requirement for this contest was to be round logo including the text. So the inspiration here came from the fireplace, although it not the tipicle look for a pizza restorant logo.

Contest for restourant logo
Another round logo for organization, that is protecting the elephants in Africa
Entry for festival logo contest
My examination paper for design class. The subject was jazz festival. So my inspiration came from the piano with few colour variations, from which I chose this one most suitable for the diversity in the jazz music and the high contrast in it.
This is my design thesis for graduating.The tasck was to create a corporate identity with our own choice for a topic. And the topic I chose was video-game-festival
Since my subject was video-game festival (where is usual to have tournaments and a lot of competitions, as in the essence of the most video games), I decided to use rival colours. The primary blue and red over dark-grey background is also representing the atmosphere of a gaming club with neon lights glowing with a flat light. The competition is the prime motive for this design, starting from the logo - representing an eye facing target, with an unrealistic, symmetric and flat look - reminding more to a machine part than a human sense organ. As well the typography and the name “ARENA” talks about confrontation. With its sharp edges and dynamic shape the font itself becomes the light motive in the whole design, where using the “chance“ as a tool, I arranged the letters in different angles and sizes cuted in halfs or pieces, where the letters gain new look - like chasing each other. To simplify the compositions from the intense colours and to give more dramatic an modern look I’m using only the outlines of the shapes.
