TAVO — Art Director

TAVO is an Art Director featured in the Art of Styleframe library of motion design and visual design talent. This profile aggregates selected works documented in the gallery alongside attribution links back to the artist's own portfolio for verified context.

TAVO's portfolio spans INDITEX - Happy New Year, ADC Awards, AJ+, AXN among other commissions; the 10 selections indexed here each carry attribution straight back to the studio that made them. Titles in the gallery below include Awwwards - Digital Thinkers, NIKE - 3D Golden Balls in the real world, Digital Design Days, OnePlus 9, 9pro and 9rt, among others, each opening on the original artist source rather than rehosted media.

For the complete picture, TAVO keeps work at tavo.es, and we treat those as the canonical record rather than duplicating them here. We'd rather pin TAVO to real projects than to trend labels, and that preference has survived every redesign here.

The studio behind the name

TAVO runs out of Madrid, at C/ Carrera de San Jeronimo 16 2D, and its own site describes the practice as art direction and motion design. The client roll it publishes lines up with the credits above: Nike, Givenchy, Loewe, Delvaux, OnePlus, Vivo Mobile, Inditex, Nestle, Adobe, Tooletries, Etnia BCN, Awwwards, Nissan, AXN, Ballantines, and Aljazeera. That's how the Inditex greeting, the AXN rebrand IDs, and the AJ+ promo documented on this page connect to what the studio is shipping now.

What the current project set looks like

The Awwwards relationship has kept going. Digital Thinkers is the current entry, sitting alongside the older Neverstop and Open Awards pieces already listed here. Digital Design Days is the other conference-scale brand project.

Phone launches are the other spine. OnePlus 8T and the combined OnePlus 9, 9pro and 9rt page cover two hardware cycles for the same client, and that repeat business is usually earned rather than pitched. Nike's 3D Golden Balls in the real world takes the same CGI craft outdoors and into a campaign format.

Then luxury. Two Loewe projects run in parallel, Elephant and Ballet Runner, and Givenchy's TK360 and Delvaux fill out the fashion side. Karmeliet Grand Cru handles drinks. Does the range dilute the look? Not really. Across all of it the work stays recognisably surreal and organic, closer to sculpture than to a product shot, which is a strange thing to say about a phone ad and still true.
