Dušan Vojnov (BRD)
A
long, long time ago in a land far, far away,
there was a magnificent forest where a
BRD lives. The BRD is a cute, crazy, frank and a
blood-thirsty bird. But that little bird wouldn’t
insult and annoy the other, nor it would talk
with herself today, had it not been for Dušan
Vojinov, whose figment of imagination it is.
Dušan is the art director and graphic designer
in Orange studion, and on the list of the clients,
for who he worked some of the graphic works,
there are enlisted Knjaz Miloš, Hemofarm, Red
Star F.C., Immocentre, Sinalco, Telekom Srbija and many other gigantic brends. However,
despite all the obligations he has, Dušan succeeds in having some time for drawing the
comics about the little distracted bird. Here is
what he says about BRD...
I am a huge fan of your mini comics BRD! Now, first
I’d like to knoe is... Why those particular birds and
how have you got an idea to create the minimalistic
comics? Why have you chosen that particular style?
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. There are many people
that like the comic, but there are a few of the real
fans. Some people are just attracted with the cute
drawing, but when they realise the gravity and the
darkness that have been behind the story and the
humor, unfortunately, gave up. Some even found
it hard to understand. The character of the bird

itself is returned suggestion for a logo design.
The character of the bird was for couple of months languished in the folder “rejected”, because I
just didn’t want to give up on it. I considered to
use the design for something else. Somehow at the
same time, I was thinking about creating a comic
again. From my childhood I enjoyed reading and
drawing the comics. but since for a long time now
I have professionally been into design, I don’t have
enough time, so I only read them. When it comes
to the aesthetics, I have tried to create the fusion
of the three things I really love: minimalism, graphic design and comics. For that reason, the comic
has been very recognizable, and I am very satisfied
with the result.
Where do you find the inspiration for all those men-
