Minnesota-based graphic designer and Creative Director Michael Cina’s design studio, Cina Associates, is specialized in multi-disciplinary work. His approach is as fresh and innovative as it is timeless and clear and has helped shape the image of international brands and companies such as Coca-Cola, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Microsoft, and Mazda, to name but a few. Graphic design aficionados may also know him through the passionately-designed logos, packagings, and designs he created for the music label Ghostly International. Either way, Michael Cina provided interesting and personal insights into his ways of working when we visited him in his studio last year.
