About
Nelson Balaban is a Brazilian imagemaker, graphic designer and art director working in the advertising, entertainment and publishing industries since 2007.

"Nelson Balaban, born in 1989, gained notoriety at an early age among the international design scene, mostly because of his illustrations, always with a strong visual appeal and adopting an unorthodox blend of creative techniques in the digital realm.

His careful approach to colors can be perceived both on the selection of vibrating tones and also in more dramatic black & white pieces, always disposing a very consciously picked and adequate palette for each occasion. Another important aspect of Balaban's work relys on avant garde typographic experimentation, executed with remarkable personality and aesthetic sense."
