Freshdesign.dk portfolio is here finally

1 Comment | This entry was posted on Feb 02 2010

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):

Euro 2012 Poland and Ukraine official logo

5 Comments | This entry was posted on Dec 14 2009

UEFA has just presented a new logo of Euro 2012 (European championship in football) which will be held in Poland and Ukraine. There are some controversies which are discussed in Poland right now:
-Polish flag’s colors are not red and white (they are white and red instead)
-Some say it’s too Eastern-Europe-like and not very fancy

Euro 2012 official logo:

The brand story of UEFA Euro Championships 2012 logo:

Personally I have to admit that I am not really sure what to think about it. The flourishing football with the flags as leaves gives good associations and should work well as a symbol. But on the other hand- hmm, it looks as a big-headed guy with widespread arms or sth. And it’s really kind of old-fashioned, maintaining the stereotype of backward Poland and Ukraine..

And what do you think?
