Personal Logo

 

Just a little post to share my personal logo I've been working on recently.  

I always struggled to combine my initials – "P" and "Z" seem not to work very well together. I'm pleased with this option, but still trying to refine and improve it and finish other options.

What do you think about it? Looking forward to your feedback!

Graduation Projects 2009/2010

It's a review of Graduation Projects from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The review runs annually for last nine years and since 2005 it's accompanied by an exhibition of the chosen projects. 
I submitted on of my Final Projects (Mr. Foster) and it got accepted! 
Here are the results of this year's edition and more details about the review (looks like there is no English version unfortunately).
Yesterday I received a copy of the catalogue, I took a few shots of the spread featuring my project.

Crocheted camera case

I've always loved little crocheted things like jewellery and other accessories and wanted to create my own. So here is my first masterpiece – crocheted camera case! It's far from perfect, but this is what I like about real handmade things. Thank you granny for the crochet lessons and tools :-)

Pinteresting!

I've started using Pinterest recently to catalog inspirational images 
and I absolutely love it. Works well & looks good – it's my favourite image bookmarking site so far! Follow my pins & moodboards here:

Letterpress card

A little letterpress inspiration for today: a lovely card I got at Reverting To Type exhibition (see my previous post). It's printed on a metallic paper, unfortunately the photo doesn't show that nice shine which goes really well with those bits of dried ink. Not sure who is the author of this one, but it's a really beautiful piece of letterpress print!

Reverting To Type

Last weekend I visited Reverting To Type exhibition which showcased posters from different letterpress practitioners around the world. It was held in Standpoint Gallery, London (it's finished now, but click here for more info about the participants). I absolutely loved the exhibition, it was a great source of letterpress inspiration. I wish could head to some letterpress workshop soon! Here are some of my favourite bits:
