Hi everyone. I haven't written anything here for some time- I had to finish my studies (I am MSc now finally, yupi!) and tidy up my portfolio.

And now it's here- freshdesign.dk has finally got a fresh and clean look. It looks just as I wanted it to look like. Navigation is clear (but at the same time quite catchy). I've made it as a one page folio with smooth movements across the page elements. The galleries for each of the project are made with Lightbox.

And this is how it looks like (but you actually have to go and see for yourself how it works):

Portfolio was updated. I have added some new works which I created in 2009 (and 2008):

WINDTURBINERACER

Alternative WindTurbineRacer web layout (not used):


SOLIDARNOSC.DK
Graphical layout of a website about Polish solidarity movement, Solidarnosc.dk. It was supposed to look rough and work as a reminder of the communistic repressions and Polish history.

Cited from A-Side Studio:
We do ID's, tees, books, magazines, murals, posters, surfboards, skateboards, all the while freely jumping the divides between image and product, design and art, the flat page and the moving image. (...)
Complexity with simplicity, decoration with purpose; good design will always end in us understanding one another better.

Grzegorz Domaradzki (iamgabz.com)- another Polish designer who makes it big. Beautiful style- drawings with a bit of Photoshop or Illustrator (or both). Looks cool! And one day I would like to have an ability of working just like Grzegorz- being a freelancer who can choose what projects to work on and doing stunning work.
