Miguel Nogueira
Miguel Nogueira is a concept artist and designer living in the sunny Porto, Portugal. Miguel spent his studying time in a multimedia school and later, a digital art college, immersed in various types of art.
Using the words subculture, joy, and historical manifests
as a fuel for the art-making fire, concept designer Miguel Nogueira borrows a wide range of symbols, motifs
and aesthetics, from punk, graffiti, spirituality, and other abstract and specific life experiences to then spring life out of a need or task.
Influenced by Chris Cunningham, Vertov, and Jamie Reid, Miguel Nogueira’s work, with his bold storytelling, expressive imagery, and daring color palettes, give a false impression of schizophrenic-like anarchic process.
Interested in digesting everything cyberpunk, dark and cosmic themes, Miguel Nogueira always goes for a sense of contrast
of ideas and takes it to the underworld of culture.
Miguel Nogueira’s personal creative work has garnered attention from a few indie publishers and game studios, like Housemarque, Invader Studios, and most recently Frictional Games, as well as other industry client types such as Blink 182, Google, and Internet of Things.
Supporting studios map great storytelling and narrative design solutions,
for a competitive advantage, since 2004.
I help videogame studios, big to small, focusing on the needs of the player base.
We collaborate, putting players first, using fun work processes, designing things we love, combining gameplay needs with visual allure by exploring deep story-telling and narrative designs.
Unlocking the core of the gamer's sense of wonder, myth, and fantasy. While having your project being the pathway for this playground to take place within their mindscape.
Because my client is the judge. Your client, the player, is the judge, jury, and executioner.
