Hi, I'm
Manuel Castro

Graphic and web designer / Motion designer

A little
about me

Hello! I am Manuel Castro, a passionate graphic designer, digital animator, and web designer with over 10 years of experience in the creative field. From the beginning of my career, I have been immersed in the fascinating world of design, constantly seeking new ways to bring ideas to life and captivate the audience through visual aesthetics.

It is an honor for me to put my experience and talent at your disposal. If you have an idea you want to bring to life or a project in mind, I will be delighted to work with you and make your visual dreams come true.

WHAT I DO

User Experience (UX) Design

I create intuitive and engaging user interfaces that enhance your users' experience. With a focus on usability and interaction, my goal is to ensure that every user feels comfortable and satisfied while navigating your applications and websites.

Motion Graphics

Through animations and moving graphics, I tell impactful stories that connect with your audience. From promotional videos to interactive presentations, my Motion Graphics take your message to new creative horizons.

Branding and Visual Identity

Crafting a unique identity is crucial to stand out in the market. Through strategic design, I develop logos and visual elements that represent your essence and values, establishing a brand that lingers in the minds of your customers.

packaging design

Packaging is the first impression your products make on customers. I design attractive and functional packaging that stands out on the shelves and reflects the quality of your products, making them irresistible to your consumers.

Web Design

I will build attractive and functional websites that represent the essence of your brand. With a focus on user experience and aesthetic design, each website will be a powerful tool to achieve your business goals.

User Interface (UI) Design

I create captivating digital experiences. My User Interface (UI) Design service focuses on crafting visually appealing and functional interfaces that foster a meaningful connection with your users.

Workflow

My workflow as a graphic designer goes through several key stages to ensure the creation of a successful final product. Below, I provide a brief explanation of each of these stages:

Explore

I immerse myself in the project to understand the client's or project's needs and objectives. I conduct thorough research on the brand, market, audience, and competition to gain a clear understanding of the context in which we'll be working.

Idea

Based on the information gathered during the exploration stage, I start brainstorming creative concepts. This is where various design ideas and approaches are generated, which will later be evaluated and selected for further development.

Design

With the most solid ideas in mind, I begin to visually shape them. I work on creating sketches or prototypes, depending on the type of project. This stage involves choosing colors, typography, images, and other visual elements that will define the style and identity of the design.

Development

Once a design has been selected and feedback/approvals have been received, I move on to the development stage. Here, the conceptual design is translated into a tangible and functional version. For instance, if it's a web design, coding and front-end development are carried out.

Test

Before releasing the design to the public or delivering it to the client, it's crucial to subject it to testing. In this phase, we identify and rectify errors, verify functionality, and ensure that the design adapts correctly to various devices and browsers.

Launch

When it's time for the launch, the design is published, printed, or used according to the project's purpose. During the launch, I can monitor how the design is received, make final adjustments if necessary, and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
