Meet the Graphic Designer
Paul Constantin Turcanu
Q: As a graphic designer for the LEGO Group, what are your
main duties?
A: My main role is designing exciting graphics for both
minifigures and stickers.
Q: How long have you worked on LEGO
Star Wars™?
®
A: I started working for the LEGO Group two years ago and I
was assigned to the Star Wars project from the beginning.
Q: What do you use to begin designing the decorations for
LEGO Star Wars minifigures?
A: I usually start either by re-watching scenes related to
the figures, or studying official references. I do like to start
sketching on paper and when I am happy with the result, I
trace it digitally.
Q: Minifigures are very small. What are some challenges
in creating designs that are both detailed, but easy to
understand?
A: Keeping it simple is the key. Of course, when we have a
®
highly detailed reference we try to translate it in LEGO
form
by guiding the eye to the most iconic parts that make it easily
recognisable.
