Graphic Design

Without intending to sound modest, I must admit that I do not consider myself a graphic designer. I have always used graphic tools for web design, animation, or video projects, and sometimes for graphic design tasks. However, it has never been my primary goal. In fact, my curiosity and desire to create something artistic led me in this direction.

I remember during my student years, I initially used Photoshop just for fun—like pasting my grandfather’s face onto movie characters and placing him in romantic film scenes. Back then, when I was still working with Macromedia Flash, I also used Photoshop and Corel Draw at an advertising company. While I preferred Photoshop, I occasionally used Corel Draw for certain vector projects. This journey, however, did not end there. Later on, I started using Adobe Illustrator more frequently than Corel Draw, mainly because of its better integration with other Adobe software. This was especially useful in creating my latest 2D animation project, where Illustrator made the process much smoother for me.

The portfolio on this page may include not only 2D animation projects but also many of my video works from previous years. My most recent work with vector design software was creating the logo for my website, Siboni Studio. I’m quite fond of the result. The name Siboni is part of my last name and refers to a village where my grandfather was born. The idea behind the logo was to combine two “S” shapes to resemble the infinity symbol and an hourglass. Adding the remaining letters transformed the design into what is now the Siboni Studio logo.

Another piece I truly enjoyed creating, also featured on this page, is the logo for a music band called Katooreh. Although the band no longer exists, the logo still holds significance for me. I tried to design the musical staff in concentric circles around the band’s name, with notes placed on the lines. This project was designed many years ago in Corel Draw.

It’s worth noting that while exploring other pages featuring my animation or web projects, you might also come across graphic designs created for those works, which can also be considered part of this portfolio.

I should also mention that I have experience working with professional document management and advanced page layout software such as Adobe Acrobat and Adobe InDesign. I have produced most of the documents related to my projects using these tools. Fortunately, the seamless integration of these software programs with other Adobe graphic tools has always provided us with great flexibility, from professional page layout to smart management of PDF documents.
