Yesterday night in my way to Iulius Mall, waiting for the Express bus I saw an ad, and not any ad, but one 2m high which is anounceing a great opening of Deichmann shop in Timisoara.. I usually analize almost every ad that gets into my face.. and some really inspire me… but this one made me think a lot.. in a few seconds I noticed something that ruined everything.. I don’t know who create this ad.. but is really a beginner… and Deichmann really can afford that ? them who on the ad say that are number one in Europe !! And why I say that ? look closely.. the first picture I’ve made it with my phone, the second I found it on the web.. you really don’t notice? The shoes reflection.. says something to you!? Look closer to the shoe heel!! I tell you how he worked.. he copy and pasted the shoes, turn them upside down, gave them a fade and he thought he get done the job.. but it seems that he embarrassed the number 1 shoes company in Europe.. but I wonder how nobody noticed .. it was approved.. and released in the campaign.. What is your oppinion?

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Why Design Matters to the Church

BARTON DAMER, BRYAN CLARK, AND ADAM LANCASTER – January 6, 2010 – Collide Magazine

paulmestereaga.com it’s now online and official! With my own original design! I waited for long a time this moment and it was some work to do! What do you say ? Do you like it?

I add a new logo tp my portfolio. ‘Stickwunsch’ (english: ‘Embroiding Wish’) offer individualized embroiding of textiles for private (e.g. towels, blankets, clothes, pillows) and business usage (restaurants, catering, sport clubs). It will target customers both online and in local markets with a shop in shop concept. I honored to take part at the birth of this brand.

In our room at 2 am. I can tell you that it was a hard night !! ) The laughing lasted much more !!

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

De acum voi incepe sa scriu fiecare articol in doua limbi: romana si engleza; si asta datorita vizitatorilor destul de numerosi din diferite parti ale lumii care ajung zilnic pe blogul meu dar nu inteleg nimic pentru ca majoritatea articolelor sunt in limba romana. Ca sa ma ajutati mai mult va rog votati in sondajul din dreapta !

From now I will begin to write every post in two languages: romanian and english; and this because of the many visitors from different parts of the world who get on my blog but don’t understand anything because the majority of posts are in romanian. To help me more please vote the survey found on right side !

Totul gri, uscat… Forme rupte, goale si batute… fara inteles… imposibil de inteles. Simt dar nu stiu ce simt.. iluzie sau realitate? sa continui drumul singur? ..ce stiu doar e ca ce m-a adus aici a fost real; cat de real? intens… viu.. colorat!

trecut… dar nu uitat… tin de prezent pentru ca doar asa ajung in viitor ! …viitor? care viitor? .. nu stiu.. dar ce stiu? ..vant cald.. picioare reci… lacrimi de salcie… astept, am auzit ca asteptarea duce spre viitor.. sau!? .. timpul .. da timpul e solutia.. el a fost si in trecut, el e si in prezent.. el ma va duce si in viitor… el e cu mine dar acelasi timp e si cu tine ! timpul e cel care ne va aduce impreuna … te astept in viitor ! ia timpul ca sa ajungi acolo !

te vad dar foarte vag… alb-negru.. daca astept in van?

Acum vreo luna, navigand pe internet.. din pagina in pagina… am ajuns pe site-ul 99designs.com.. si mi s-a parut interesanta ideea ce baietii o promovau.. si anume ofera un mediu in care companiile sau orice persoana in cautare de un design potrivit pentru nevoile lor, pot organiza concursuri la care participa sute de designeri din toata lumea, incercand sa satisfaca nevoile organizatorului. Am devenit si eu designer membru al acestui site iar acum iata primul meu cocurs castigat. Am concurat cu aceasta varianta de logo pentru un viitor motor de cautare al Affiliate Alliance inc. si am fost ales castigator iar premiul este unul substantial ! Si cred ca munca mea pe 99designs doar acum incepe ! Oare ce va rezerva viitorul?

… primul desen ce l-am facut cu tableta grafica ! Avand in vedere ca mai dureza ceva timp pana ma obisnuiesc cu ea si pana imi intru in mana “merge o tura” desenu )
L-am desenat in Corel Painter, si asta e doar o mica parte ce se poate face cu o tableta, daca nu stiti ce poate face una cautati pe google sau youtube ! Eu in principiu o sa o folosesc pentru desene vectoriale in Illustrator si Photoshop.. dar ce sa zic e superba treaba ce o face ! I’m lovin it !

Tocmai mi-am cumparat o tableta grafica ! ..si sunt super entuziasmat ! Abia astept sa vad ce poate face! Ma va ajuta enorm la design grafic si cred ca merita investitia !

Are o suprafata de lucru de 8 pe 6 inch.. 1024 de nivele de presiune…grosimea liniei fiind proportionala cu cat de tare apesi pe suprafata… stilou si mouse wireless.. 29 de butoane functionale dintre care 13 predefinite… stiloul poate inlocuii foarte bine si mouse-ul pentru navigare pe computer !
