ABOUT VASJEN KATRO

Albanian visual designer Vasjen Katro likes challenges, so he took one named Baugasm. We are talking of the exquisite aim of designing a poster for every 365 days of the year. All of the posters are daily published on his Instagram account, a true visual delight. You won’t be able to stop scrolling.

Katro came to graphic design through music. He was indeed an electronic music producer years ago. When he signed his first contract with the label, he just wanted to create the artwork for his first EP himself. At that time he already was into photography and some image manipulation, but that was the first time he explored graphic design on a real product.

Today Vasjen Katr doesn’t limit himself to digital tools; he also enjoys using acrylic paint to create patterns and textures for his posters – as you can see in this tutorial.

BAUGASM: A-POSTER-A-DAY

With his most renowned project Bauguasm, Katro wanted to challenge himself to create something new each day without cheating. As a matter of fact, he continued designing posters also while in the hospital (with the help of pain killers) recovering from two broken ribs. Creating posters let him to explore continuously the vast potential of tools like Photoshop (his favorite), Illustrator, and Cinema 4D.  “Combining different software is the best thing ever because you have unlimited tools to play with and possible combinations.”, he says.

Kato likes to tell everyone that his poster-a-day project started out as just a crazy idea, but it has ended up being so much more.

His latest work is shown on Behance. It’s titled BLINK Y2126 part of Baugasm 2019, and it’s a dystopic vision of the advent of the Dark Era in the year 2126. The collection is made of stunning 3D prints of  “… perfect humanoids which run among humans as a tool of their own power to face this flawed world in the most effective possible way.”

Katro also works on commercial projects. For instance created the astonishing Hectorman – Santa Cruz Baugasm Bicycle, or the campaign for the holographic makeup collection by MAC Cosmetics.
