Spring cleaning!

Alex — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 02:08:29 +0000

After 6 months of completely neglecting my website, here comes the spring…
So, it’s cleaning time.

Don’t click on the image below. Don’t. Just don’t.

I’ve trashed a few old logos (a few = over 30), and took my time to find some recent stuff…
However, there were definitely too many works to upload each one separately, so I decided to make my own life easier. The old “Featured” category is now gone and replaced with “Latest”. I’ll post new works there. Occasionally. It would be ridiculous if I promised to do it regularly, since I know I wouldn’t. Lazy :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Interview for 92pixels.com

Alex — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 22:58:06 +0000

Just got back from almost 2 months long vacation on the coast here in Croatia. :)
Thanks guys for the interview!

Thanks for the recommendations!

I’ve been more active lately on 99designs site.
After a few months of complete inactivity, I almost had a “cold turkey” (abstinence crisis), in terms of designing, of course. And as a result of that, as I worked as a lunatic – I’ve won some logo contests (and naturally, additional work followed).
Took the chance to ask for some recommendations (which can be seen here on LinkedIn) and added them to the “Testimonials” section here, too.

Still have some more projects to finish, and then… vacation time. :)

Rainy weekend

Alex — Sun, 16 May 2010 16:19:08 +0000

Updated the logo section here, finally (almost 6 months since the last update).
After the first 2 months in 2010 completely occupied with work, and the pause afterwards, I could really use some new clients now. :)

Busy days (and nights…)

And I don’t complain.
Being a freelancer gives you one advantage, you can’t experience while working as a part of a creative team. It’s about valuing your clients. Of course, there are always some of them like the ones here > http://clientsfromhell.tumblr.com/ :) But they are valuable as well – they give you a chance to appreciate your “good” ones.
I don’t have time to write a tractate now (since it’s 2AM), but – thank you, my dear clients.
All of you. :)

Oh yes, I did…

Alex — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:17:11 +0000

…update my web, as I promised :)
The update took a while, ’cause I had to dig out lots of stuff burried on my hard disk. I added some designs to “Misc” and “Print” categories as well.
But now – the logo category has 5 pages, and I was told that this is like a goldmine for many rip-offs. I, personally, wouldn’t suggest you do this, ’cause I’m pretty tough about it. However, if any of you might like and try to (re)use any of the designs published here, feel free to contact me and we can then arrange a deal. I could really use a new car. LOL.

Promises…

Alex — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:56:40 +0000

I promise I will update my website soon.

I started just a few secs ago by adding a new weekly quote. A quote by me. LOL. :)

Now, seriously – my latest blog post was in May. Shame on me.

Since then, I’ve got lots of new clients, and some of them contacted me via this webpage. And I also have a link to here in my e-mail signature. Blame me, I’m guilty. There’s a saying here in Croatia, that the shoemaker always has the worst shoes. It can also be applied to this situation. Being so busy and having no time to update. And made soooooo many logos, a few web-page designs, some posters, some stationery… And nothing shown here. Yet.

I have to add “testimonials” category, too…

I promise I will update my web soon.

I promise I will eat more vegetables.

I promise I will have lunch earlier than midnight.

I promise I will not scare my cats.

I promise I will be a good girl.

Audio Pranks

Alex — Sat, 16 May 2009 23:23:58 +0000

Since my boyfriend is an audio engineer, and we share a studio, I’m forced to participate in his work too. Usually it’s lots of fun. And a couple of days ago we figured out we could do a great prank on our friend :) so we recorded a series of radio-commercials for and about his imaginary design studio (he doesn’t actually have one). We brought up a name (variation of his real surname), a slogan, and began recording. Hillarious :) We started them in a completely trash-style, but as we went on, they became more and more refined… We did all the voices and he wrapped it all together. As it was really entertaining, we’re planning a new series. We even made up the name for our little virtual prank studio – and the logo too, of course.

You can hear the commercials by clicking the links below (they’re in Croatian).

Online :)

Alex — Mon, 11 May 2009 00:10:02 +0000

OK. the site is public now. Welcome. And feel free to spend some time here, free of charge :)

The quotes section of the home page will be updated (at least) weekly. In the gallery, you can browse through various design categories to see some examples of my work. Recently, I’ve been doing mostly logo designs, so consequently there is a bunch of them…

Almost done

Alex — Sun, 10 May 2009 22:37:01 +0000

We’ve spent most of the nights lately building this site… Going public in a while :)
