Martini Asti is our new production commissioned by XRS / Bacardi - Martini Poland.

We wanted to create a very clean and simple website with a clearly marked feeling of elegance. We came out with a series of small illustrations to represent each of the sections and a navigation which allows user to click and drag left or right to switch between them.

We figured out that the bottle needs to stand always in the middle and all the elements will flow around it, but to give it more 3d feeling we rendered a video of our bottle rotating 30 degrees and combined with the floor, which we made in PaperVision.

Black hole is an application made with Processing. I have been working on it for few last months.
Making it I had to learn some OpenGL and remind my math backgrounds, but I hope it was worth it. At the beginning I wanted to create a dark sphere with dynamic glow. Using a OpenGL substractive blending and simple math transformation I created a resizing glow similar to cloud or nebula. [Turn on the speakers please]

It’s been a while since we posted something here. End of the year is a really busy time for us.

Anyway, Advanced Photoshop Magazine from Imagine Publishing featured one of our previous works (originally created for The FWA) as a cover for their newest issue. Personally I think they did a great job with connecting all the texts with an illustration (someone must have been very patient) plus quality of the print is really ace - honestly I can say that this one is one of the best covers I had till now. I know that in Poland this mag is hardly available but if you have a chance be sure to check it out.

Everyone that takes design seriously knows that managing your vision all the way through a project is easier said than done. Obstacles like the client that wants it done their way, or an insane deadline that causes the concept phase to be ignored are just a few of the reasons our true intentions seem to crumble and crack the closer they get to completion. So it makes you wonder, how do some people manage to get it done more often than not? A perfect example is our man Peter “Hejz” Jaworowski. Hejz has been cranking out some serious work for some serious clients for several years, all without letting a peep of mediocre work slip by. Is it natural talent or a ton of blood, sweat and pixels? You might just be surprised.

Here you can find whole interview. Hope you find something usefull there. Have a nice read.

‘Because healthy babies are happy babies’

During last months, we have worked on the new site for Bebiko, one of the sub-brands of Nutricia Poland, producing food for babies.

Bebiko came along with a little competition, allowing people to submit videos and photos of their children, finishing up the sentence: “Do I look like…?” The main theme for the site was a happy, bright and “smiling” environment, so we figured out to create kind of a baby room with lots of funny toys and details. We’ve had a lot of fun creating those little flash and 3D animations and overall, it was fun to work on the site :) Of course, there are also desktop wallpapers and a nice screensaver…

A nice addition is also, that the site loads in two variations - night and day, depending on what time of the day you’re browsing it. The day version displays before 6pm and after that time, you will see the night version. You can also switch it at any time!

Have a nice clicks :)

Idiomag is a music magazine with front-end made in flash. It’s full of videos, photos, music and of course interesting information. You have control over the magazine content. You can remove articles which you think are not interesting and mark those you love. Your choices are taken into account and next time when you load a new magazine, content is selected more precisely. We established our relationship with Idiomag about year ago. Over this period of time we’ve been doing mostly flash development works. In the last few days we’ve just finish major update which includes video play list with post-roll advertising display and improved magazine xml structure.

Give it a try!
