THE Perfect Graphic Design Software

I WANT. I want to open my PC and then just click on ONE icon that will open the ultimate design software. I dream at this day, to open THE program, the one that makes everything that all the others software do now.

I can see myself changing my mind several times because I can set as many pages I want or I can choose to design only one. I don’t have to worry about compatibility issues and I can import Quark files, Corel files, Adobe files or anything I want and all are fully editable. I can click on any picture because I want to edit a little, I have all the tools and filters from Photoshop and I can do what I want, I can even set the color mode on spot.

As I progress with my project I might need some pies and charts, well this is not a problem anymore, I have all the tools to create them inside the actual file. I can collect the project with a click of a button and don’t have to purchase a plug-in for this. I can save whatever format I want and, if then I need to make an animation I just open the timeline and start animating.

Endless possibilities …but when? Adobe makes great updates on their software but I still dream at the ONE.

When people think of color, they tend to envision physical objects, like green grass, a black car, or a blue sky. What you interpret as “color” is actually the result of absorbed and reflected light waves, which stimulate sensors in your eye and trigger associations in your brain. Three physical factors influence the appearance of a given color: the light source, the surrounding information, and even your eyes.

The human eye can detect an amazing range of light energy, but what happens to it from there is a matter of psychology, and not necessarily color science. Color represents a strong part of our emotional association fields, a sort of resonant touchstone to which we tie ideas and subconscious feelings. Studies have shown that a person’s overall mood and perception of events can be influenced by the colors of their surroundings. Continue Reading Colors & Psychology…

Since the recession started things are not the same in the field. After 2 years things seemed to go on a smother path but chaos was unleashed once again. After the situation in Greece more and more European countries discover new problems and Romania itself entered in the same circle.

The anti recession measures announced in Romania in the last days really came as a shock to everybody. After two very bad years for the media, we are faced with new challenges.

In the last two years the recession really eat the young advertising agencies and killed those publications that had a smaller number of readers. Continue Reading The recession in Eastern Europe and how it affects all people from media including designers…

Working as a graphic designer .. hmm how hard is this? I noticed that most people who are not in the business don’t know exactly what this job is about and how things work. We just presume they know but how can they? I don’t know what other jobs are about in detail and I’m not sure I would understand all if someone would explain it.
