We’ve created another cool web design which is heavily based on the illustration.
It’s for site called TradingVans.co.uk which is a site where you can trade your van (as you might already have guessed).
The client gave us a total creative freedom (yes – there still such great people around;).
The result is a eye-catching, easy to use and funny design.

I obviously didn’t have enough after publishing my last piece for Infectious design challenge.
So – I’ve made another one.
“Ronin” is inspired by the japanese samurai culture – which is something I was always interested in. (btw. I guess everybody knows that, but Ronin actually means a samurai without a shogun (lord) he could obey).
Anyway – I hope you like it enough to go to Infectious and put some votes on it (again;).

Time for harsh, manly design.
BlackMoon team recently created a logotype and layout for American Football team of one of Polish univeristies.
Guys at Griffons Akademia Pomorska Słupsk are tough as rocks – and they asked nothing less from their website.
So – we were given a challenge to show mud, sweat and blood on the design – and we love the final result.

Logo we’ve made for the team

Since we gave a good deal for the Griffons – we became the offical sponsor of the team.
(it’s pretty cool to see our logo on the t-shirts;).

Go Griffons!

Some time ago I wrote about new Infectious contest – it’s time to submit my own piece there.

If you won’t mind spending few seconds to cast a vote on it – that would be great:)

Ok, I’ve got second place – so it’s not won, but it’s damn cool anyway:)
You can have the pixel desk made for Infectious/Wordpress contest for your laptop or iPhone at Infectious store.

Thanks for all the votes and comments!

BlackMoon just gained some fresh blood.
A very creative and experienced designer and 3d artists Adam joined the team.
You can give a warm welcome message to Adam at Facebook.

Here’s my short report from event that took place in Helsinki today.
It was organized by our favourite Adobe and it was called Rich Internet Experience Tour.

The event was divided into two parts – there were presentations focused on the design part in the morning and there was developers’ part in the afternoon. Although I feel both – I was able to attend just the first part.

It started with Serge Jaspers’ general presentation about Flash and AIR together with some demos and showcases. Although I learned nothing new – the presentation was top notch and it was fun to watch. (I need to mentioned how fearless Serge is – he kept going with the presentation even though he kept getting electrified several from the static electricity. I guess the Adobe Evangelists’ training is similar to Navy SEALs).
After that, there was a presentation by two guys from Perfect Fools. (The company has got 19 FWA awards!). The work they have showcased was totally stunning (like Mentos KissCam or H&M.
Too bad the presentation was rather “flat” (compared to Serge’s – with a joke every 5 minutes and getting electro-shocks), but I was pretty speechless after it anyway.

After short break (note: You could see that there’s a depression. At my last Adobe event (onAIR tour) there were excellent snacks&drinks – in Helsinki you only got coffee;) there was another presentation by Serge – regarding the Flash Catalysys. Revolution is coming for people who do interface design for Flex applications.

The design part ended with presentation by Johan Lopez from swedish company called Swiff, who showcased the project that incorported speech recognition in Flash (actually – speech recognition was done by the server-side Java program – but client is in flash). Pretty cool.

This was rather showcasing event aimed for designers (I guess more technical details were shown in the second part) – and for me it was extremely interesting and inspiring.
One final quote from the Perfect Fools speech (I quote from memory).
Great projects are made of excellent and innovative code and supreme design. You can’t build really successful work without both.

I’m quite proud – my humble blog was chosen for the final voting for Best WordPress Design award in the Retro&Vintage category by WPWebHost.
If you could spare me a 10 seconds and vote for it – that would be quite cool ;)
The voting takes place here.

I’ve made the layout for Senya Studio (which is our fellow coding&programming company, lead by Dante).

The idea for the design was simple – “Steampunk”. (If you’re not familiar what the steampunk is – in general it’s a mixture of sci-fi in victorian age).
I’m very happy with the end effect, which is strong, creative layout that matches the given theme 100%.
