ART

My personal “top20” or “top40”, depending on your screen size or your patience. The artworks are gathered from a long period of time and displayed here since I don't have free walls any more. Basically that's how the sale page came up. Have fun looking around and remember to use your mouse scroll or your keypads on the work previews to zoom in for more details. Because this is what I'm after.

WORK

If you're looking for some dummy text, you won't find it here. I think the quick brown fox or the lazy dog ate it. Ironically, my main concern is to never leave a lorem ipsum text behind. I guess you can call this a work principle.
Here I'm supposed to have a famous quote or talk smart about design. I'm not sure what design means, you should ask my mom. She always knew when she set the table.

SHOP

Most of the stock images have embedded paths to be easily cut out and used on different backgrounds. Some of the photos are available in higher resolution, some are not. Photo Categories: Toys, Home, Office, Techno, Nature, Food, Holiday, Vintage.
The fonts unfortunately are a very time-consumer passion that I did not allow myself lately, even if in the end I found the time to create the fonttest page. I just hope you have fun using it, at least half of the fun I had creating it.

Stock materials are free for personal use, for commercial use read the terms or contact me.

Site

For me web coding is just like a raindance. I'm not sure if it's the drum or the smoke, but in the end I can get really wet.

About

This is a corporate website with a very personal touch that stands mostly for my passions and obsessions in art and design.

Never ending project, the Lorem Ipsum site was made on a MSI laptop (not a Mac) with a personal approach to PHP, JavaScript and CSS, created by abusing Google, Firefox, Firebug and the F5 key. Not for IE, small screens or touchscreen devices.

Help

The giant mouse and the big tooltips are just an ironic reference to the web language nowadays. If this bothers you, than you know how I feel about trends. Anyway, you should try and see how the mouse overflows the browser window for the first time.

You may switch here to the Default Cursor Original Cursor or use F1F2 to removeactivate it.

Bogdan Colceriu: “Levi este un maniac al designului grafic perfect. Personal cred ca asa ceva nu exista. Insa tocmai cautarea acestuia alaturi de puterea analitica neobisnuita pentru un designer, il fac pe Levi unul dintre cei mai buni creativi pe care am avut sansa sa ii intalnesc”.

Marija Jure: “Even if You'll manage it other way, of course, I believe that You will find the best solution. :)”

Mate Marty: “- fresh, crazy, new, avantgarde and vivacious. Or we could use a US based brand designer.”

Pick my brain
I'm not about to get very critical of me, there are a few dealing with this job. If I begin to auto-interview myself, things get a little too honest (copy/paste from levilive 2003). Besides, I can't take everyone seriously, this would mean to neglect myself.

Some sort of disclaimer: To compensate my bad english I expect you to use your imagination. Maybe my jokes get lost this way, but besides my obsessive nature I still have the sense of humor. This would be the second thing I expect from you.

But how about some Google search?

Fiecare cu pasarica lui

Personal nu am gasit o explicatie logica a pasiunii pentru Twitter, chiar daca pe undeva am inteles conceptul de "conectare" pe care-l are la baza, dar daca bate Yahoo! Messenger presupun ca trebuie sa existe un motiv mai intemeiat de atat. In orice caz, se pare ca nebunia surclaseaza orice alta miscare a momentului pe "networking". Ceea ce face cu atat mai atractiva aceasta dependenta este faptul ca lista de contacte poate sa-ti "creasca intr-o zi cat la altii in zece", de unde si varietatea si mai mare de mesaje, urmariri si urmari. Ce gasesc cu adevarat interesant insa nu este aceasta ingramadeala de contacte (la care sincer nu le vad finalitatea practica, in afara de a pierde cateva ore in linkuri si linkuri ale linkurilor), ci diversitatea modalitatilor personale de promovare.

For english readers: Google translates “Follow the little bird” into “Watch Pussy”. I’m sorry if this happens, it’s not my intention or my usual language.

Fiecare vrea sa stie ce face celalalt, dar mai important, fiecare vrea ca celalalt sa stie ce face el in acest moment. Fapt pentru care majoritatea paginilor personale contin acel “follow me”, cu icoana aferenta.
Uite aici zboara pasarica! Si anume icoana Twitter, pasarica albastra, care se dovedeste foarte versatila in reprezentari, atata vreme cat se reduce la o simpla “pasarica”. Se pare ca pana si renuntarea la culoarea albastra a acesteia nu este o piedica in a recunoaste brandul.

Mai jos sint doar cateva exemple din infinitul stol al Twitter. Varietatea atat de mare a reprezentarilor ma conving de faptul ca nu putem vorbi de ideea de “cioara vopsita” (furt de identitate), atata vreme cat pentru cunoscatori aceste icoane intotdeauna au trimiteri foarte precise catre o singura marca.

Din colectia personala de pasarici

Una din paginile principale Neuromodule. Pagina intreaga rezervata pentru pasarica.

Evident, ca “reactie normala” la orice lucru de succes, apar si “followers” care incearca sa culeaga din resturi si se folosesc de renume. Acestia pot prelua din nume si brand, dar nu cred ca parte din succes.

Print Screen de pe BankTwitter. Imi inchipui o banca reala in care angajatii au sarcina de serviciu un numar minim de “tweets”, din cauza careia clientii fac cozi la ghiseu ;)

Pagina Tweet for Life

Pe langa astea un stol intreg de marci si branduri care mai de care mai colorate si mai absurde, care incearca prin orice mijloace sa fie auzite, unele sub-branduri oficiale twitter, dar majoritatea cladite pe ideea renumelui. Un fel de cuc, care-si aseaza ouale in cuibul altora pentru a fi clocite…

Imagine de The Next Web pe Flickr

Intre timp aceasta pasarica a influentat – la fel ca “fasolea” asta, liniile sinuoase vegetale – intregul sistem grafic al netului. Unii s-au incumetat pana acolo sa aplice pasarea pe logo. Fara nici o legatura, link sau sens. Cum este si asta de jos.

Pagina Modstudio

Sau asta

Pagina Blue Sky Resumes

Sau au aparut lucrari de arta (mai mult sau mai putin artistice) pe aceeasi tema.

Una din multe lucrari pe aceeasi tema

Si ce este si mai extraordinar, pasarica apare audio. Una pe care eu o consider melodia oficiala twitter:

Teoretic aceasta recunoastere a marcii este pe undeva sustinuta de mesajele “follow me”, dar chiar si in cazul asta “pasaricile” au in sine caracteristici identitare unice, care vorbesc de marca. Una din conditiile primordiale ale identitatilor fiind exact aceasta unicitate, nu se poate sa nu apreciezi acest brand.

Fapt care ma determina sa fiu fan twitter.
Nu al serviciului, al brandului.

Vorba aia, poti sa ma urmaresti atata vreme cat nu-mi zgarii masina.
