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):

Freshdesign.dk- brand new look of Adam Heleniak's portfolio

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

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.

The idea of designgive.com is simple. Designers donate a T-shirt design and in this way promote themselves. People who buy the T-shirts select charity organization that they would like to support. Money goes for the good cause and everybody is happy.

And moreover, some of the T-shirts that you can (or could if they were in stock) buy are just awesome. And the names of some of the designers are really big: Si Scott, Brooke Nunez, Paul Macgregor.

I need to put some limits on number of pictures uploaded to my server (the daily traffic on Blastyle blog is really impressive nowadays). So that's why I selected only 5 T-shirts to be presented; take a look:

Si Scott - Leash Called Love
T-shirt created by Si Scott for Designgive

Scott Bartlett - Octobunny
Charity T-shirt design by Scott Bartlett

Maciej Rakowski - Industrial Re-pollution
Cause for design- T-shirt by Polish artist

Andhika Nugraha - God
Charity and design- buy T-shirt and donate for a good cause

And here are some other works by Yulia. I like especially the work on the bottom- sign "They want you" made of big corporation's logos. Brilliant idea!

It's going to be the longest post in the history of Blastyle blog with the biggest number of works. If you read it through you will see works of not one, not two, not three but FOUR graphic designers!

Their works are completely different and it was a hard decision for me to put them all together into one post. Anyway, I decided so here it is.

I have stumbled upon the website of Unseen Agency and got fascinated by some of the works I have seen there. I've selected 4 artists out of 10 associated in the Unseen Agency, then selected 2-3 works which best illustrate their talents and skills and now I'm presenting them for you. Here they are:

1. Nick Deakin. Clients: The Guardian, Orange, New York Times, Virgin, Computer Arts Magazine.
