Is it okay to post short videos on Twitter?
Anyway, I just love working on branding and packaging for tea and coffee startups.
Here's a quick video I've put together, showcasing some of the coffee and tea brands that I've brought to life!
Dear designer colleagues, how's everyone holding up? I think I'm experiencing the biggest work drought I've seen in maybe the last 10 or 15 years. Tough times. How are you all doing? Feels like the entire industry hit a massive rock.
Here's a sneak peek of a recent brand identity design project for an artisan bakery based in Colorado...
The brand's badge logo embodies the stunning Rocky Mountains of Colorado, with a touch of natural wheat symbolizing the sun shining behind the peaks.
This badge has been
Weekend fun!
I designed electric skateboards using AI, inspired by Apple's minimalist tech aesthetic with Dieter Rams' timeless design approach.
I used Midjourney 5.2
As a designosaur, I've always used Photoshop and Illustrator, never Figma. But today a client needed a Figma file for a landing page. So I finally dived into the Figma world and it’s actually pretty simple and cool!
Feels like I’ve almost mastered it in a day. Who knew?

Branding & packaging design proposal for Spin, a new sports drink for cyclists and athletes.
Sometimes, less really is more and I feel that's the case with this brand direction.
What do you think?
Running into a brand you designed at London airport…
Definitely a nice, happy designer moment! 🫶
Seeing a brand you design grow so big is an awesome feeling…
From concept to reality!
Here’s my design sketch of Lady Matilda, the coffee truck, on the left, and her final wrap on the right. After a strong 6 year run it’s time for a redesign. Super excited for Matilda version 2.0!!

Seems like I'm a day late, but here goes... Happy Portfolio Day!
I'm Salih, a designer specializing in branding and packaging. I’m a father and husband. I'm also an avid cyclist and motorcycle rider.
I generally work in Minimal and Vintage-Modern styles. Grew up in Istanbul
We just finished this animation. All done by hand, frame by frame on the Procreate app on iPad.
Super happy with how it came out.
Now at we're offering unlimited video animations.
Sketching out some logo ideas for a dress house in Phoenix, Arizona!
Here are some early sketches done on Procreate for our new clients at
Also tried a quick brand design exploration on logos

What do you think? Too goth?
Let me know.
Nobody really cares where a designer is based.
I've been a freelance designer since the mid 2000s and not once has a client asked about my location.
Whether you're in London or Bangladesh, that really doesn't matter.
So yeah, my Dribbble Pro subscription ended and I didn't renew it. Instead, I got Twitter Blue!!
It seems like Twitter is the new Dribbble now!
I joined this platform 15 years ago and I never expected it to reach this level.
I'll still continue using Instagram, but it's all
Designers don’t design brands; they create logos and visual identities.
I see designers claiming they design entire brands but a brand is more than just its graphics.
Even if you’re a brand designer, that still doesn’t make your job designing the brand.

Here's a wild story about how I sold a logo for $20,000 a decade ago!
So, we're going back to the gold days of Dribbble. I was getting a flood of inquiries every week, but this one from a beverage startup caught my attention. They were drawn to a specific logo from my portfolio
This month another design agency started using our subscription plans at The Design Plans. They sent us briefs, and we did all the design work.
In one month, we delivered:
- Logo designs for 3 different clients (20+ logo ideas)
- 1 brand logo guidelines
- Merch designs (hoodie,
My side hustle in real estate is now earning as much as my design business! Just started and don’t even have a website yet, while I’ve been doing design for 25+ years and trying to do it at the highest level. Crazy, right?
Has design Twitter lost its authenticity or is it just me? Feels like everyone's constantly posting something for impressions as if they're in a race. No authenticity at all. Sad.
By the way, I run a brand identity and packaging design studio called Garage Design.

Excited to share the new cycling kit I've designed for my design company!

I've been hunting for this color/model for a long time and I had to buy it as soon as I found this one!
It's such a joy to ride!
We just wrapped up some fresh illustrations for our client Kyoku's new booklets we’re working on!
Always fun working on custom illustrations like these!
Platform idea: Imagine a new designer platform, blending the vibes of FFFFOUND! with Dribbble's glory days, all steeped in a next-level mindset, it'd be a massive hit.

I re-photographed one of my favorite road trips from back in 2014, Palm Springs to Joshua Tree, with my good old buddy
@standardpaolo
using Midjourney AI. What a great trip that was!
AI's going to take over everything we do with computers, all kinds of “design” included.
I’ve recently dived into the real estate industry and applied for my company’s license.
Designers, have you lined up a second job for yourselves yet?
What’s your Plan B? 👀
Back in 2015, I had the honor of redesigning Eagle Coffee, one of the first brands to bring coffee to the US!
What makes this project so fascinating is its deep historical roots. Coffee was first introduced to the world from Constantinople, known today as Istanbul.
Working on a booklet design for a client and had to retouch a photo with a white sticker on a glass. Used Photoshop’s AI-powered Generative Fill feature for the first time 🤯
Let's get naked. Show what you're working on. Show your process.
Here's our process of a skincare brand logo and packaging design that we worked on to bring two national ski athlete sisters' vision to life.

This week, we've worked on this fun project for one of our favorite clients through a subscription at
The project involves creating some fun designs for the 130th anniversary of this historic lightvessel boat, a landmark in Stockholm. 👇
If you can design one thing, you can design everything.
You just need to learn the technical aspects.
Principles like balance, space, form, color, etc., remain the same, regardless of what you're designing.
AI WILL take over every kind of designers’ job but designers will still exist by using AI, more like art directors. We’re entering into a totally different era.
Been wanting to put a logo portfolio page together for a while now. It's a daunting task with years of diverse styles, probably over 600 marks. I also want to turn it into a book. Hope to find the time and motivation at some point!
While screen printing the biker tees, I did a fun test print on a pink t-shirt for my wife and another one just with Garage type for my little girl.
