We have tried to show the path of mankind to the Space. Past and future. From Leonardo da Vinci's wings to terroforming other planets.")

About
45pixels is the design & illustration studio of Alex V, focused on packaging for craft food & beverage brands.
I design bold, custom label systems and brand visuals that give products a clear face on the shelf — from clean coffee packaging to vivid, character-driven storytelling.
No stock. No templates. No generic solutions.
Just original design built to help brands launch strong, stand out, and grow with consistency.

Looking forward to helping with the next pieces as the brand continues to grow!"

"Another incredible design! The vision in my head is realized every time. It's just a delight to work through the process with Alex. It's so helpful to see the image mocked up on the travel mug as we go along. I can't wait to have them printed. "
