I managed to find a suitable illustrator, copywriter and developer and coordinated their work throughout project. There was no fixed time schedule and no pressure from the client affecting this project. That allowed me to enjoy the project very much, think of every detail and immerse myself in the work. The only downside of non-existent time schedule was the overall lenght of the project that took 5 years to complete. Although time-consuming, the challenge of creating my first entire new brand from the scratch was approprietly rewarding. Starting with the core idea and a few sketches I created a basic concept and a visual key based on a hunting theme. This concept was then refined in cooperation with the illustrator. High contrast ink hunter illustrations were used to promote boomerang use as well as to engage customers attention. Illustrations where then successively used on support and promotional materials like ID cards, simple brochure “How to throw a boomerang” etc. Apart from the website and printed material development, photographic sessions and video shooting were my responsibility as well. Through this project I gained valuable experience and a completely new perspective on branding and management. This experience proved particularly usefull in my later works. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/547c66c2e4b01fb13305564d/1417438880305/ My heart projects - Czech designers and webdesigners Facebook page of the czech webdesign community My role: creator, editor Url: https://www.facebook.com/czechdesigners -- Czech Designers And Webdesigners (CDAW) js a facebook page that I created in 2010 in order to support czech design community. Years later I still manage the page and thus follow actual events and czech design scene development. Apart from maintaining an extensive image database of the czech (web)designers' and design studios' works I also actively search for talented designers and interview them utilizing public facebook comments system. Especially these interviews gained positive reactions in the past as they brought interesting discussion topics as well as helped designers to get to know each other either on professional or private and friendly levels. http://www.designwitch.cz/contactme daily 0.75 2014-12-01 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/547c781de4b01fb133058404/1417443357391/_Contact_v2.png Contact - Contact MSc Nikol Kokešová Brno/Prague/Czech republic E: niki@designwitch.cz / T: + 420 603 586 276 / Skype: niki_designwitch Freelancer with ID - 76228134.

The customer provided only a very basic design brief and allowed me to create the entire graphic concept by myself. I focused my work on improving the simplicity and usability of the website. To accomplish this goal I completely rearranged the structure and created whole new wireframes. After that I developed new graphic style closely following provided high-resolution images and finished the final design. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/559d1dd5e4b0681b3ba2df5a/1436285518999/ Work of Nikol Kokešová https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/57a06cdf5016e13b82b03493/1470131151636/ Work of Nikol Kokešová https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/547c6d71e4b0a1e9ef8ddc16/1417440597014/01_Img.png Work of Nikol Kokešová - Automotive Lighting The car lights manufacturer My role: art director, graphic designer Agency: PORTA The goal of this project was to improve the visual impact of a website of an automotive lights manufacturer. There were no limits to the redesign process apart from original colour palette and logotype that had to be preserved. My aim was to create a clean, functional look that would directly correspond to the technical brand. I enjoyed the project, although it was quite difficult to accomplish given the number of simple and easy-to-use interactive elements, sliders and lightboxes that had to be created. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/559cee45e4b0271a54ae5c18/1436347955322/01_Img.png Work of Nikol Kokešová - Akademie21 Personal portfolio of a business consultant Filip Drimalka My role: art director, graphic designer Agency: PORTA Freedom to design and make decisions made project Akademie21 one of my favourite works. There was no clients vision of colours, typography or overall style. Only a logotype and a motto "Zero to Superhero" were provided. I chose typography, icons and photos very carefully in order to build a minimalistic business-style web around an unusual superhero theme that would engage viewers attention. The client was very enthusiastic and willing to finish the web design in close cooperation. http://www.designwitch.cz/about daily 0.75 2018-09-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545fa52ee4b0ba3d01de3f2c/t/57139e6c555986fb1e0be4de/1460903544424/ MSc Nikol Kokešová
