Biography
__________________________
Currently at Ridley Scott Creative Group Amsterdam as Design Director & Art Director
Creative Director & Visual Artist
Vasco Vicente is a Portuguese Artist, Graphic Designer, Illustrator & Art Director & Writer & Musician
Originally from Setubal, in Portugal, Vasco Vicente knew pretty much
from the early age of 4 what he wants to do for the rest of his life.
And he got it right pursuing it, finishing high school in an Art School
Academy and making his way while taking a Degree in Graphic
Design - followed by a Master’s degree in Studies of Visual Cultures.
His works have been seen across international press and publishings
that include Shots Magazine, Creative review, It's Nice that,
Mashable, Discovery Channel, Vice, Idn, Computer Arts, etc
Vasco focuses on the potential of language as a visual medium,
pushing design and clear visual communication to its limits so that seeing
and reading become the same action and text and image become one
unified expression. Mixing styles and genres from an illustration from pop
culture to music to typography, video games, and street culture.
V.V crosses different disciplines such Typography, Branding, Strategy, Animation, illustration & Film & Art Direction.
