A E Design

[303aegiszx]

Some of you might know me from sleepywood!

Hey, I'm Aegis.

I'm a Graphic Designer. I specialize in poster, typography, and logo design. I've established myself on many online communities to say the least. I gained recognition with my famous panda tattoo design on deviant art with over 18,000 views and 600 favourites. I used to do sigs and I still do every now and then to try new techniques. As of now, I'm focusing on getting my own design, photoshop, art, etc forum up and running as well as finishing up my university studies and getting my graphic design degree.

A few of my favourite designs by me of course lol:

If you'd like to see more of my designs, or have a request then feel free to drop me an email or visit my dA link in my sig =)

I'll regularly update this post with design related news and new work.

Wow, great job with those designs. I think the one on the bottom right looks the best. =]

[CityScape]

Wow, those are really good. (:
I like the first two, a lot.
GREAT JOB. :DD~

[303aegiszx]

Thanks, I just made the first poster two nights ago.. my stand against the 2008 Olympics.

[Maggie]

[x0xpriestx0x]

nice... looks professional.. xD

[303aegiszx]

Thanks =]

That tattoo has been on a few t shirts, magazines, and tattooed onto someone's ankle.

[[+]Panasonic[-]]

I really like the blue poster, nicely done =)

[Germ]

Yeah that blue posters dope.

[★tastie]

what do those characters around the panda say?

[Lana♥]

The Hikki poster and the one above it are my faves. Great work :f2:I shall make a request soon~

[fashion]

i enjoy your work so much :D I LOVE THE CITY ONE <3 I'd so buy that panda shirt :o

Your work is AMAZING. I've been using Photoshop for six-seven years, however - not that great.

[miny]

Your designs are amazing.

Yeeah, I've seen that before as well. You probably saw it from Sleepywood.

[303aegiszx]

That's my sig from sw. Lol I'm the same aegis.

[Ashley]

Iunno. It's possible, either that - or I'm imagining things. It's 4am, so. Yeah. *shrugs*
Once again, very nice work. I envy your skill.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did you do graphics before you decided that you wanted to make a living out of it?

[303aegiszx]

I started in high school. In grade 10, I started to use photoshop and illustrator to mess around, photo manipulate and such but then nearing the end of grade 11 and 12 I suddenly had all these opportunities such as designing the yearbook, entering district competitions, and doing promos. So roughly 2-3 years.

Side note:

I had applied for 4 universities and the one I went to was the last school I applied for because hell, no way I thought I'd get in. But then I was accepted shortly after my portfolio interview and that surprised me later because I had heard many people were not accepted for at least 2 months. I saw it as a once in a life time opportunity that the university offered me so I thought I'd try it.

[AvengedSevenfold]

I never really got around to complimenting your work on sleepywood, but your designs are amazing.

[Raven]

To say the least I feel you are overly bombastic, Aegis. Your art is great, but not as good as you make it out to be...

[303aegiszx]

Of course I'm going to make it seem like my non-professional work here is great. But it's only as great for those who cannot tell my flaws. I know exactly what is wrong with my design, (because there is always something wrong with any design or else design wouldn't be a profession) but I don't think I need to point the bad points out. I think it would be incredibly selfish of me to have said "Eh my work isn't great.. but take a look anyways" because that would be implying "TELL MEH IM GOOD PLEASSEEE". I'm not in need of anymore ego boosts lol.

[Raven]

That's something you do if you want clients and have a portfolio of any sort. Maybe it's just me, but it seems slightly inappropriate here... Have you already done any work with clients? Even if your in the middle of school its best to get client experience ASAP otherwise you might be kicking yourself if you don't know what to do.

[303aegiszx]

I've had a few clients during the 07/08 year. A few were nice, easy to get along with, others were a bit more difficult. I'm finding it to be a bit harder for a student to get experience with clients though. Because I feel that very few of my works within the past 2-3 years are actually portfolio worthy. I'm minoring in communication design which I hope will help me but I'm also thinking about doing Business Management (don't know how much that will actually help though..)

zzz. Too simple.

[Raven]

AE Design sounds stupid to me personally, sounding neither professional nor artistic. But hey, whatever.

[Sophina]

Ah such spiffy designs o:
I see Last Friends! xD

[Valarius]

You're good aegis, but I notice the flaws.

From a designer to a designer, I say good luck. It's good to see somebody specialising in typography so early into their career. I'm still iffy about typography and i've been designing for 7 years.

[Rain]

Wow i like those. Alot.

Typography is really difficult.. I'm not good at it at all ;x Hopefully I get better after this year though.

The last thing I am is an artist- I'm a designer. Plus, it's how I sign my work on the back with my initials, "a" and "e".

[Valarius]

Aegis, would you be willing to do some custom logo work? PM me. There may be a $ reward involved if you can get something done that my group likes. :]

[303aegiszx]

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm in the final stage of the first logo. I generally render 3+ logos and present them all to my clients. I'll inform you of further details.

[Darklai]

I'm inlove with your panda tatoo. Do you mind if I print it out and place it on one of my books or something along the lines? I reeeeeeeeally love it and feel the urge to spam it on my stuff. @_@

[303aegiszx]

Feel free Dark.
The only thing I ask is pictures so I can see how much you spammed it :D

[Darklai]

Late reply, but thanks, and I'll be sure to whenever I get to doing it. XD

[cyndi!]

I see your flaws as well, but I have to admit your stuff is really good. I'd like to see more though, just less typography.

[ItzTaylor]

Wow that's so cool. Your very good. Nice Job :glitter:

I like the panda the best.

[303aegiszx]

Update:
Been working on a logo for Valarius. Incase anyone is interested, here's what I ended up with:
After 9 different concepts..
