Hello!
Welcome to my virtual gallery. I'm glad to have you here.
I'm Norbert Balázs, a product and graphic designer from Transylvania, Romania. I think of myself as a creative person, eager to learn new things. As for hobbies, I like drawing and painting, to build and customize different things. I am computer-literate and I like expressing my imagination by using it.
In 2014 I graduated from the Faculty of Product Design and Environment, Department of Industrial Design at Transylvania University of Brasov. Immediately after graduation, I was hired by a corporation in the field of heavy machine design. In almost five years of activity, I designed and developed components for industrial and heavy engines. The main developed products were components for the air system segment and thermal insulation related to them, but also tools for production or checking of components, molds, parts for 3D printing, and more. The main software I used during this time is PTC Creo but I also worked a little with Catia and SolidWorks. The corporation taught me how to organize myself at work, follow the procedures and manage a project.
In 2019 I have completed a Master's degree in Sustainable Product Design at the same university. In the same year, I decided to take seriously a field that I had treated as a hobby up until then. I have always been passionate about aesthetic visuals, chromatics, art, graphics, in general, everything related to appearance. I'm OK, an advertising and web development company, gave me the opportunity to deepen this field, so now I design logos, websites, advertising graphics for print and digital, packaging, motion graphics, and more. I am not yet able to write a program, but I manage, at beginner level, to create a website in WordPress and some editing in CSS. The software which I use to express my imagination is CorelDraw, Adobe PhotoShop, Experience Design, and After Effects.
In 2021, I am offered a new professional challenge, which combines my 3D design and graphics skills. Thus, I end up coordinating a slot machines development team consisting of graphic designers and programmers. As a product manager, together with the team of designers and programmers, we develop games for the gambling industry and improve the cabinets on which these games run. Producing slot games requires a lot of attention to detail for the development of animations, and the graphics' symbolism must comply with the game's theme.
If you like my work contact me, I'm looking forward to meeting you.
