Brand: Urban Decay Cosmetics, LLC
The current Urban Decay logo.Urban Decay, a unique brand of cosmetics, was created when Sandy Learner couldn’t find the right shade of nail polish. She was looking for something along the lines of a deep purple, but all she found was various pink shades.

Letter Press // Artwork
by Ant Baena
Location: London, UK
Job: Graphic designer, illustrator
Website: www.antbaena.co.uk
computerarts: Not long after he’d graduated from Salford University back in 2008, Baena was fortunate enough to land a position as an intern for Vault 49 in New York – which was followed by a stint at ilovedust back in Britain. It’s the sort of start many graduates can only dream of, and he’s certainly grateful for it. “Working with two world-class, award-winning design boutiques has enabled me the ability to switch from clinical typography to eccentric illustration,” he says, “applying an enthusiasm similar to that of a beady-eyed hyperactive child.”
He also believes that his exposure to these studios has enlivened his work on the whole: “It’s not confined to any particular genre or style. My work blends all walks of life, and it can be seen in print, online, on clothing, urban vinyl or just about anything else I can get my sticky mitts on.”
Letter Press A personal experimental piece. “It was created just to push my technical abilities as much as I could,” says Baena. “I ended up with a piece I was really proud of. I encountered no end of problems trying to get to the finished product, from the rendering and lighting to the detailed texturing.”__
