'coolcats' character designs by Diana Ziv
'coolcats' were designed by Diana Zivkovic for the tween girls market for printed merchandise, toy design, fabric prints and animation. Lolly, Ruby and Amy are the first characters designed with more on the way.
I am a creative industry professional of 25 years, and I work as a hands on design supervisor for a Museum with a team of two staff. Currently I am studying a Masters of Digital Design at Uni majoring in Motion and Education Design. I am inspired by beautiful and meaningful concept images, motion and interactive graphics whether it be games, stunning apps like Al Gore's Our Choices by Push Pop Press or beautifully crafted and directed 3D movies like Nickelodean's, Rango. The never ending evolution of computer graphic technology has me completely wired up and plugged in. If I am not working or doing Uni assignments I am busy playing with my camera, shooting landscapes and soon to be shooting macro as well. I'm inspired by nature, the ocean, the sky, landscapes, plants and capturing the peace and stillness of moments in time. For the rest of the year I plan to photograph macro and landscape imagery and learn how to use Lightroom to catalogue my images (between preparing assignments for Uni of course!!) so watch this space.
