Category: Interviews | 129 views | 1 Comment |
Today I have interviewed a visual identity designer called Alen Pavlovic, known as type08.com. Alen is a visual identity designer who has his own business in Croatia, but targets a global market. He is widely featured on logopond, and has built up an amazing portfolio of his work over at type08.com.
First off, whats the typical day in the life of Alen Pavlovic?
It’s a bit ‘nasty’ lately because I work almost 16 hours a day. I wake up around 9AM, start my ‘machines’ and start to tangle with the projects. I work whole day til around 4AM next day, with just a couple of short breaks in. I have clients from all over the World and those different times zones simply force you to be reachable almost 24/7. I won’t tell what I do during breaks!
How did you get into this field? Did you study anything?
My father is a product designer. I fell in love with the design probably since I could spell that word. After my education I got Project Manager degree, I studied Project Management on Civil Engineering section of Zagreb University, Croatia.
Why did you choose to go into visual identity building?
I love logo design. As simple as it looks, I think it is probably the hardest area of the all graphic design spectrum. When I started my company Artra 11 years ago (1998) that deals with much more areas like interiors or marketing, few of the initial projects were exactly from the field of visual identity development. I had a vision of working outside my country’s borders so I decided to offer that services to the much bigger ‘global’ market. Read more…

Tell us a bit about yourself?
Let’s see… well, I’m 28, happily married, I have a trusty dog, and I live in Boston. I’m from Maine originally, and I once lived in Porto Alegre, Brazil for a year. If I’m not in front of the computer you can usually find me relaxing with my wife and family. I really love to surf, but we just don’t have easy access to good waves here in Boston. Before BuySellAds.com I was Lead Designer and SEO Guru at HubSpot.com (hubspot.com), an internet marketing company. And before HubSpot I was a partner at a Boston based interactive agency Mindfire (mindfire.com). I love startups, and I love trying to build stuff that is actually useful.

Jacob is a graphic designer who also has a blog with tens of thousands of readers. He also owns another 2 exciting websites! You can find Jacob Cass at his main website Just Creative Design, and also at his other 2 websites,Logo of the Day and Logo Designer Blog.
How did you come up with the name “Just Creative Design”?
Coming up with a name for your business and / or blog is probably one of the hardest tasks an entrepreneur will have to do. Should you name the business after yourself, come up with a fictional name or literally describe the business? For me, I was torn between the three.
I wanted to name the business “Jacob Cass Designs” or “JackCass Designs” which is a pun on my own name and the word Jackass. I wasn’t really happy with these names and after a few weeks of no decisions, I finally decided I didn’t want to name my business after my own name, just in case I wanted to expand some time in the future. So the question was, what do I name my business? Read more…
