Good day. My username is lemonsoneperson, but you can call me Oper for short. I do traditional art with pencil & paper and despite me not owning a graphics tablet as yet, I've dabbled a lot in the digital art—mainly for graphic design & logos. I have an interest in UI design (one of my favourites being the Metro Design Language from the Windows Phone series, Zune and the infamous Windows 8.x series). I also like looking at logos, my main inspirations being legends like Saul Bass, Paul Rand, and Lance Wyman and poster designs from the Swiss style such as Josef Müller-Brockmann. Traditional artists as my inspiration include a little bit of Richard Elson and others.

I've been very infrequently lurking on the website for a little bit and I've decided to commit into interacting in this forum. This is actually the first time I'm joining a forum so I'm a novice in forum etiquette. Hopefully in time I will learn about the ins–and–outs of the forum style, become more acquainted with the community and learn new techniques & skills to improve my art further. I promise to be deferent to the community. Danke!

Willkommen, Oper! I am also an admirer of Saul Bass and Paul Rand. The Sun Microsystems logo, which I believe was designed by Vaughan Pratt, is one of my all-time favourites.

Oh yeah, that’s cool. I’m thinking of all the different logos over the years. 70s and 80s were really cool graphically. I have to see if I can find some. I don’t know if a lot of those companies exist anymore.
