Anthony Orozco is a graphic designer and illustrator from San Jose, Costa Rica. His conceptualization process emphasizes experimenting with and personifying shapes to create unique character designs. He is also a fan of typefaces and merging them with illustration, exploring space and composition while keeping the color palette as reduced as possible. His works aim to maintain a geometric structure minimizing details without losing the essence of the piece. He believes that the most important thing in design and illustration beyond aesthetics is functionality, and that the best design is the one that can convey an idea in the simplest and most effective way.
