Designs and inspirations of last month

Well, that was a month since my last post here... Can't remember being away from blogging for so long recently...
But, there were great reasons for that... And unlike previous times it's not just work that kept me busy (though I like when I have what to do) but also some rest... So, here's a quick review of some of the things that kept me away from blogging but at the same time kept me excited, inspired and full of energy for new posts... So, here we go!

First complex work done for a local business... A large network of jewelry stores. Design of a billboard and a flyer for their promo campaign.. Intense week of work and a great result everyone is happy with...

Photos of the actual prints of the flyer to come soon...

Another project is done for my good friends from lamosca... A city guide application interface for a mobile phone

More details on behance

One more project for iPhone is currently in progress... A really interesting mobile game with quest elements...so here's a small sneak peak of what it will be like...

In between of all this work, I took a small break for a fest time in one of my fave cities - Lviv...

More pics here

And of course I haven't forgotten about the logo design, though there was less of it last month thanks to those exciting projects I mentioned above... 

and a redesign of the existing Ranger logo

And one more break with lots of drive, adrenalin, positive emotions and pics... A 4 day rafting trip to the Carpathian mountains with unexpected snow in spring :)

Much more pics of this great adventure here and here

Controversial portfolio by Fiodor Sumkin

Originally I was caught by his Modern Religion work... That was unusualy, impressive, and so damn true....
When I looked through the rest of the folio, the Apple religion turned to be implemented in a pretty unusual and controversial way... So I leave it as a no comments block and let you decide yourself...

And some more nice works from Fiodor

Stunningly awesome interface design for iPad by Jonas Eriksson

Seems that's first time when an interface design got featured on my blog... Is it just because I tend to graphic designs and leave all those bars, scrollers, buttons, etc to the interface design colleagues, or just I have never been impressed enough... No idea...
But what I saw today simply made me say WOW! That was sooo great... neat... luxurious... stylish... That was just perfect! And this perfect thing was made by Jonas Eriksson...
The interface elements are planned and located great, designed with lots of attention paid to the details, great textures and shadows work... It definitely adds up to the iPad advantages... I can hardly imagine anything like this to be designed for a smaller size...

Thanks lookslikegooddesign for an inspiration hint
