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.

Bad things happen. Murphy law says that your computer will crash just when you need it most.

A hard drive failure, you deleted accidentally a project folder or reformatted the entire drive, deleting everything. It’s impossible to plan all disasters, but by backing up your work, you can keep your  data safe. When something does occur, you’re able to restore your files and keep working.

Backup refers to routinely updated copies of your most commonly used files. Your type library and image libraries should already exist on an external hard drive, and your  applications and operating system can be restored from the original hard. Continue Reading Backup your projects…

The client says OK and the project is ready to go to the printer. After you prepared the file for print you should also keep in mind a few tips:

Always send the entire font families. Even if you’re positive that you only used one typeface variation, supply the suitcase and all accompanying printer fonts. Some fonts may ship with multiple suitcases. If so, provide all of them.

Don’t forget any fonts that may reside in imported vector-based graphics, like Illustrator EPS files. They may not register as being used in your page layout program, but they are required to print. For the best results, convert any type used in FreeHand or Illustrator to outlines before saving and importing the graphic. This way, the font is not required.

FIAR is an annual event that takes place in Sinaia in the last week of May. It’s a huge event that  gathers representatives of all major European insurance and reinsurance companies which use this opportunity to meet with their high level counter-parties from Russia & CIS.

This year me and my colleague worked on a huge list of printed materials, web graphics and animations. For 3 weeks we created all from brochures, roll banners, to flash animations and video montage. It wasn’t easy but the results made us very proud. Enjoy!
