Hillarious video about designing a stop sign

That's definitely an old story but yet... It's just as funny as sad.. Just the way the reality is...Clients vs Designer in its worst case... Thanks goodness I havent come across any yet. Hope you too...

Logorama video

Welcome to the designer's paradise or nightmare :) A Logorama, a unique video based all around logos and mascots. Lots of fun watching and spotting famous logos here and there. Great work and lots of fun. Errr... and some language and actions under parental advisory. But still it's a must watch for any designer! Enjoy!

Cheers!

Design a day. Day 8

Day 8 of the new decade is coming to an end... Actually it's three hours already is it's day 9 here, so here comes my new design for design something a day... This time it's something inspired by a number of things, ranging from a book by a Scandinavian writer I used to read when working in a language school and finishing with a tune by Wham! that was playing in a taxi on a way back home...

Design a day. Day 7

Day 7 is over and it's time to present a new design of the day. This time it's inspired by my fave radio station Lutsk FM and the guy who makes me feel the rythm of the music and discover some new aspects of night life of a designer :)

Design something a day is on flickr now

Actually just want to let everyone know that I've created a Flickr set for Design something a day initiative. So from now on you can track my updates here. Bookmark or visit from time to time for something fresh and creative.

Cheers and see you on

Design a day. Day 6

January 6th. So it makes it a Day 6 of Design something a day initiative. Following previous card submision, now it's also a kinda card or a poster-to-be...
Pay attention to details... They do matter... Even small changes can make big things different...



Design a day. Day 5

I'm still keeping within the time frame, though it's getting harder and harder, since holidays are almost done, and clients are getting back to their demands, deadlines and updates. Yet, work is good but one shouldn't forget about other things happening in our lives. My good friend has his birthday today, so an idea of a universal one-fits-all greeting card came to mind... here it goes... feel free to use (would appreciate if you drop me a line saying thank you) if you ever need a last minute gift or greeting :)



P.S. I made it 150 pxls, if someone needs a 300 pxls version, let me know and I will upload one too.

Design a day. Day 4

oops... I almost missed it... Was a really hard day yesterday. First working day of the year, so I had absolutely no chance to design something... But... I'm still in the game and here's my somewhat late submission... Do hope I will get into pace and have one more by the end of the current day... So, here it comes - a designer's dream... inpsired by my color dream I saw at night... and basic shapes :)

Design a day. Day 3

So far so good. Day 3 and I'm still in the game :) And I really find it exciting... Today came from a small walk in the winter forest and already had an image in my head I wanted to design... Though I first thought of a winter scene only, afterwards it turned into a four seasons set...

Click to enlarge and enjoy!

Design a day. Day 1

So, New year is finally here, the new decade is counting down, so do the 365 days of the new year of 2010.
Thus I thought that Smashing Magazine's idea of designing something every day is a great match to my new year resolutions (to come online soon).
Thus while I still have zeal and enthusiasm I guess I should start. So here comes the official statement :) - I will do my best to generate one creative thing a day, be it a photo, a graphic design, logo, packaging, label or just a creative sketch or doodles.
And here comes the day 1 design... 


















Wallpaper version to come soon...

Look back here for my daily updates of designs...

P.S. Happy New year!
