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.
