Hi there!

My name is Salome, but people usually call me Sal. I am a young professional with experience in graphic design, advertising, and digital marketing. Currently, I am working on a degree in Communication Design to pursue my lifelong passion in the art of marketing and digital communications.

My fascination with visual communications and the digital world started at the age of 13 when I launched Adobe Photoshop for the first time. I was previously interested in digital photography and the fact that I could modify or completely change the reality of my photos with the help of the program greatly excited me. Over time as I learned more about the importance of visuals and good design, I started reading books about marketing, branding, and color theory. At this point, I had already dropped out as an economics major from University in Bulgaria and was living in New York – one of the most inspiring cities in terms of many things, including great designs & history.

During my first few years in New York, while I was still trying to settle in the city, I was rigorously working in many types of jobs. At the same time, I was focusing on and planning for my goal, which was a formal education in the field of visual communications. Six years after leaving Bulgaria and five years since moving to New York, here I am, pursuing my lifelong passion!

My interest in the field has only gotten stronger with time, and now that I have made it this far, I’m ready to learn as much as possible and enjoy the process of this opportunity as well.

Final Art – Salome Mindiashvili

Hello! Here is my final art. Since the last class, I worked on the vat, the hand and cleaned up the oak tree. I also paid attention to the brush strokes and the thickness of the lines. The hand was the most challenging part of the design, as well as figuring out the relationship between the vat and the oak tree. I also played around with various values below.

VALUE STUDIES:

#1 – The focus is on the foreground where the vat and the typography lies. In the case of simple, minimalistic label design, this would work well because the typography (the name of the wine bottle) is a very important aspect.

#2 – The focus here is directly on the hand holding the grapes. Although in this example, the focal point is very clear, this is not my favorite value variation.

#3 – I’m in love with this variation as it provides high contrast and almost creates a nocturnal environment.

#4 – And lastly, I wanted to experiment with the ground and here is the fourth value study. I believe that this one a lot different from the previous ones but has its own groove to it, almost making the composition look taller than it actually is.
