Max Radulovic – Designer

Hand-painted, cinematic illustration with a storytelling focus. Experienced in book covers, character design, concept art, visual development. Munich-based, working globally.

I’m an illustrator and art director based in Munich (fluent in English and German), working with a completely hand-painted approach. I focus on cinematic atmosphere, storytelling, emotional clarity, and I have a weak spot for mood and lighting and pull a lot of inspiration from my favorite films and cinematographers.

My background in film goes hand in hand with my illustration workflow: composition and mood are the most important to me, everything else in service of the story. I’ve created visuals for publishing, campaigns and film, with clients including Sixt, Amazon Prime, Porsche, UEFA, FC Bayern, Audi, ARD, BMW, and Volkswagen.

What I enjoy most is collaboration — developing a visual language together, discovering tone, and finding the image that “feels like the book.” I work by hand, communicate clearly, and keep the process grounded and human.

If you’re looking for illustration with atmosphere, narrative depth, and a steady, communicative partner, I’d be glad to work with you.
