how to make a cheap video

Category: art, design

and make it look artistic. First, i thought I’ll throw in some data on how much a quality video on demand costs. And while searching for that, I found a cheap video explaining why it’s cheap instead of expensive. Personally found it touchy, so here it is:

Back to me - I started to look for cheap ways to make an artistic video for a breakup song. Found these: Read more

if the web was the ground you stepped on

Category: fun, web 2.0

I must say, I have always loooved maps with great designs.

There’s a bit of the will to explore, a bit of the idea of knowledge, a bit of the consequence of being alive and yearning to go further and explore and feel and live! :)

iasi@night project - joint effort

Category: art, design, fun

iasi at night white margin

Buna ziua tuturor! Acest post este asa cum si observati in lb romana, datorita
faptului ca toata imbulzeala asta de oameni cu initiativa m-a facut sa tresar de patriotism si de incredere in ceva mai bun pt tarisoara noastra si in speta pt orasul nostru drag - Iasi.

Asa ca am decis sa acord ceva timp pt construirea acelui brand al Iasi-ului de care se tot vorbeste de cativa ani si sa pun si eu o caramida la temelie. Iar daca sunteti pe faza, puteti si voi contribui la el si chiar extrem de simplu.

Sa va spun despre ce e vorba: Read more

Self-healing materials: scientists make industry’s and human race’s dream come true

Bristol and Illinois in the fight for supremacy for the better self-healing material offer some cheap and practical ways to repair composite materials. Sounds way too technical, right?

That’s what I thought… but let me put it nicer:

You often get scratched or hit or injured and rejoyce at the fact that your body has the power to heal itself. For many years, many of the creative people lived in sorrow, because they could not replicate some of the most ingenious aspects of nature, among them - self-healing. If they could design and build a mechanism that solves this problem, then whatever thing possessed this characteristic would have a bit of the unexpected, a bit of the autonomy, a bit of the life nature has.

Xmas’s Hot

today is like no other day… and on this special day I’m walking, I’m talking but most of all, I’m typing…

So, yes, I can lay back, relax and focus on it. Now, whatever that it is for you, for me it at this moment means writing about my free-time-generator - Xmas. Read more

Breaking Design Rules: three colors, three fonts

Category: design, facts, marketing, web 2.0

I’ve recently had a dispute with one of my pals. He’s a journalist and an independent writer and seems to have a lot of guts, wit and sense of twisting words to anyone’s dismay or astonishment.

The object of dispute is the other project listed on this site, Consumer Child, it’s design to be more exact.I ain’t sure you keep track of design trends, I do and I’m keen to remind you that last year we had loads of sites showing off at least four colors(usually red, yellow, blue and green) and a sense of “diversity” and “cultural diversity” and “social stuff” floating around.

Now, why am I telling you this? Read more

Last year I’ve been to a national conference on economics, tech-stuff, entrepreneurship, media and more.
