    Good day to everyone, my name is Orlando Magana, and I do digital and hand drawn Illustrations in various forms. Some of these forms are comic, semi-realism, cartoonist, realism, and graphic text and shapes.

    This venture started when I had the idea of doing designs influenced by military tours to Japan (where it all started), California, North Carolina, and one very short trip to Australia. Distinct visual atmosphere of locations within provinces of these countries gave me the motivation needed to work with a fruitful imagination and an open mind through physical and mental experiences. Works allied as a design service, started 2010 and continues to present. The unofficial brand is called, " The Red Guardian".

    The Red Guardian - A is a focus on Illustration using various art forms and external social influences, brought to life on this robot logo that represents what I do. "The Red Guardian" (as it's called) is a partial symbol of craft and an extension of self.

    Platform type: Illustration

    Platform usage: To arc a story that will define brand name and brand identity, with the use of a state educational system in Digital Media, personal education of illustration and graphics, and skills acquired through personal training, trial and error.

    If your interested in my work and wish for design service:
