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):

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.

2nd concept (not used):

MSC PROJECT
Screenshots of mobile user interfaces that I created while working on my MSc thesis project, "Tag-based mobile music interaction". Project involved looking at a mobile interfaces from a perspective of usability and interaction design.
