"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

Green Lantern wasn’t among my favs when I was little, but I always admired his powers, to be able to do anything you can imagine, as long as you have the willpower. Maybe the most realistic superhero in concept. Surely beats Batman :P

Always loved this kind of inspiration that you stumble upon in every day life, especially typos.

Left Cluj in april this year.
I have lived there for almost 5 years.
Lots of memories…








If only Bucharest had a hill like this one. I know there’s MNAC, but it’s not even close..

At last, new site for Lowe Worldwide !
The good news is that the typefaces have changed, which should mean LoweCopper is gone for good! (hope I’m not glad too soon). It was way too old, bad looking, a nightmare on small prints, and so on. Not to mention that every two-dime SRL in Romania uses Copper.
Talking about change, I’ve also found this web 2.0 treatment of the Lowe logo (Lowe Estonia). And surely I have to mention my favourites, Lowe Bull (South Africa). Four words: “Great ads take time”.
True, true…
These guys have bull balls indeed :D

Well, it’s almost over, another one down the drain. It was a very good year, like Frankie says..
Hope for a better one, though :)

And since it’s been such a good year, it was about time I changed the old site, having over-lived its purpose.
Welcome and Happy New Year!
