About Magda March
Magda is a freelance illustrator and lettering artist from Poznań, Poland, where she studied and got her Graphic Design Master’s degree.
Nowadays I mostly draw digitally. Whether it's on a graphic tablet or my iPad, it just makes life simpler—no scanning hassles, colour troubles, or formatting headaches.
The way I use digital brushes has a lot in common with analogue drawing with paint, which was my favourite technique when I was a student.
Her digital style is a bit old-school - She tends to paint over my mistakes rather than erasing them and skip any fancy line-smoothing tricks. It is this mix of old and new that gives her work that distinct feel.
Despite all the digital tools, Magda still enjoy the therapeutic act of hand-drawing whenever she can.
She especially enjoys drawing motifs related to nature - animals, plants, flowers - you name it. Magda recharges her battery by interacting with nature - going on walks, or simply replanting the flowers in my flat.
Typography caught Magda’s interest during her studies, and it has become a big part of what she does. Magda loves playing with new shapes for letterforms that have been around forever.
It is all about giving a fresh look to those timeless characters. Magda says she’s on a visual journey where pixels and traditional strokes meet, and we are loving every bit of it!
