Yaroslav Iakovlev

My name is Yaroslav and I’m a graphic and brand identity designer based in Valencia who is passionate about creating a design that connects with the viewer and transmits feelings.

 

My journey as a designer started when I was a kid as I always was passionate about art, I start learning to draw and practicing my skills and get more and more into art. Some years later I discovered Photoshop and Illustrator and start experimenting with them.

 

When I discovered my passion for designing I decided to become a graphic designer and become self-learning it by learning theory, and history and improving my skills in poster design, logo design, and branding.

 

At this point, I get the confidence to show the world my skills and ideas so I created a project called Zeka Design, which started with an Instagram account where I started uploading daily poster designs in different areas and niches trying to experiment with styles, colors, and shapes, by creating those posters I start developing my own style mixing images, shapes and vibrant color palettes.

 

This small project on Instagram start gaining recognition and I decided to become a freelance graphic designer and offer my services of graphic design and brand and identity design. I open my website and other social platforms like Behance and Pinterest.

 

Nowadays I have helped clients from over the world by offering my design services and looking to help more people connect their ideas with design, apart from the design services I run a blog focused on graphic design, logo design, and branding where I share useful information for beginner designers.

 

If you are looking to connect your brand with design and transmit your brand values to your customers I can help you with that, as I say Creativity Has a Process, and with good research and applying design theory principles I will help you connect your ideas with visuals.

You can follow me on my social media.
