Seeking balance between text and graphics

Working with editorial boards and text writers, LUVANE has created a wide variety of visuals that strengthen the message of a text, and give a humorous, touching or slightly provocative twist to it. Combining illustration with an expertise on graphic design, the aim always is to create harmony between text and visuals for an appealing overall design.

A passion for the art of the cartoon

Having worked as cartoonist for a university newspaper for more than seven years, LUVANE developed a passion for the art of the cartoon. Experimenting with a variety of forms containing text, one of his favorites forms remains the ‘silent comic’. Many of LUVANE’s illustrations can be classified as silent comics, carrying the core message of a text in a more abstract, humorous manner.

About LUVANE

An industrial design engineer gone rogue... or not?

Being a graduate in Industrial Design Engineering, LUVANE approaches drawing projects like a designer would.

The purpose of an illustration, the audience it aims for, and how and when it is consumed are all factors that play a key role in the creative process. To get this recipe right and serve it with some humor and original style elements is what LUVANE strives for in collaborative and individual projects.
