Showreel: Selected motion graphics

mas — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 14:26:08 +0000

My showreel for 2021 contains a collection of animated projects I have worked on. Ranging from advertorial clips for online and billboard campaigns across London and international airports to animated 3d and stop motion short films screened at festivals. I am usually involved in scripting, story boarding, art directing, animating and editing in a team or on my own. The projects included in the showreel have been screened at animation festivals, featured on web banners, part of online experiences, delivered on airport screens, and on billboards.

This showreel is a summary of a lot of passion, time and dedication that has gone into my motion projects.

Book covers

mas — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 10:57:39 +0000

Creating book covers is one of the best assignments one can have. Interpreting the writing visually in a concentrated form of a single image is a consuming, exciting, challenging… Adding the responsibility of determining the fate of a title in a particular market makes takes the task to another level. Coupling an artistic response with the responsibility of giving the book a chance to reach out for the chooser’s attention is a design balancing act. Seeing the final layout multiplied and ready for distribution is as satisfying as seeing someone picking up the book amongst the the sea of choice, looking at it, reading the annotation at the back and finally committing to the book.

I approach each assignment afresh and as a response to the writing, the target audience and the editor’s brief. I aim to provide alternative solutions and options to reinvent myself and the approach. The result needs to be true to the book, commercially reasonable and technically perfect.

Below is a selection of the titles I have worked on:

Señor Vivo and the Coca Lord
Novel by Louis de Bernières
Grief Is the Thing with Feathers
Novel by Max Porter
Butcher’s Crossing
Novel by John Edward Williams
Three Apples Fell from the Sky
Novel by Narine Abgaryan
Rebecca
Novel by Daphne du Maurier
Never Let Me Go

A ball of calligraphic twine to guide the lost and the wondering trough the labyrinth.

This is a logo mark for the independent publishing house Labyrinth which now just two year of its existence is making a significant impact with books like Louis de Bernières‘s Señor Vivo and the Coca Lord and Rilke‘s The notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge both of which I have designed the covers for.
