Runners-Up
Runner-up 1: ViactionType
We love this video entry by Lukman Hidayat, aka ViactionType. He is a graphics and fonts designer from Indonesia who creates stunning templates on Elements.
After being in the graphic design world for 10 years, he decided to shift his focus to fonts after seeing a gap in the market. “I saw that existing fonts started to be monotonous and not updated, so I started studying and designing fonts,” says Lukman.
His creative entry explores his process when creating fonts, from researching current trends, drawing and sketching all the way through to the digitization process.
I really love the way he shows how he brings his fonts to life from paper to digital form.

AudioSpaceMusic
Zhenya Dubko, aka AudioSpaceMusic, is a talented Audio Author who creates stunning sounds on Envato.
His entry delves into his inspirations, his process for making music, and his journey with Envato. He explains how his passion for music started out as a hobby and soon turned into a career.
“My path with Envato started about 5 years ago, back then music was just a hobby. I was writing music from time to time without any musical education so when I first decided to try AudioJungle, I had to really improve in order to have my audio accepted,” he explains.
This entry is really inspiring. I loved hearing about his inspirations and his growth in the industry.
