MCB Designer of the month: Edgar Melitao

Edgar is a Creative (originally from Portugal, but a fiercely proud Kiwi) who designs from initial concept, creating branding, packaging, web design and a wide range of graphic design solutions.  His last project was the 2008 Manukau Festival of Arts (as featured in our Community News article) and works for himself in central Auckland.

1. My favourite design guru of all time…Oh, it’s too hard to pinpoint just one designer – coming from the other side of the world has meant that I’ve had to open my eyes to different influences on design both here in NZ and back in Europe.  I think Kiwi design is great & there are a whole lot of gurus here in NZ.  But my work is influenced much more by the audience to which it will be presented, than any ‘design guru’ out there.

2. My idea of a perfect Sunday is…travelling around all the wondrous and amazing places we have in this country, making the most of the weekend and just parking up somewhere beautiful at the end of the day and sleeping in the car.

3. The best thing about New Zealand is…freedom!  It’s totally different to living in Europe, where you don’t get the same feeling of freedom.  In Europe people adhere to stereotypes, social classes, expectations etc.  Here you walk around bare foot and then go hop into your Ferrari and no one blinks an eye – I totally love that about NZ and being a Kiwi..!

4. What makes me laugh out loud is…listening to one of my friends talk about his numerous girlfriends – starting up, breaking up, making up - again and again and again...

5. In five years I hope to be… healthy and surrounded by good friends.
