And now you wonder what I manage to open. First of all I open my home office again. I am now 100% freelance at www.stefanlucut.com after I leave Atelier105 crew for some very good reasons.

We manage to bring Atelier105 in front in just one year but like any other good things it's ends quickly. I assume that we could not continue because it doesn't worked 100% from passion and was all about paying the rent and having money...and I am not hypocrite now, is great to have money and buy things that you love, pay the rent and so on, but I think that if you do what you do with passion you do things right and if you do things right you got money in the bank. Is that simple?

Now to stop any stupid rumors that could run away in town...you need to know that we are still friends we are still working on some projects and also we are still developing personal projects together, so keep an eye on us. Some one asked me if I am sad because we split....the answer is no; how can I be sad on a choice I've made? But indeed, I am sad; sad because I've started some great projects that are now in other hands. But this is the natural way to go forward. So all I did I leave behind and get over it. This is live huh!?

Now the second thing I've open is the Baubauhaus website, a source of inspiration for the one who are searching it or just random browsing for the bored ones. I am doing this together with 2 good friends, Dragos Gavrila & Radu Popescu. Keep an eye on us and if you got an Tumblr account is easy to follow.
Now can I have some space here I am writing an article regarding crises in graphic designer eye - me.

You still here? If so please let me announce the good news. This year ICR though it should invite some people to the Vienna Design Week; so they invite Ovidiu Hrin. But mister (Ovidiu) thought is will be so much fun if he can invite another designer along him to perform live a whole day. ICR agree so here we go, me and Ovidiu will be in Vienna since 5 of Octomber to 11 Oct, and we will be performing in VDW Labor section on 7-8 placed in Kunsthalle Wien. If you are around or if you plan a vacation around that date and if you are a designer too, do not hesitate to come to Vienna. There will be an entire week full of design and related events, so I am waiting you there. Can't wait to be there and make the "combat" with Ovidiu, can't wait too meet the others designers invited to VDW, can't wait to visit the Zoo & at last can't wait to have my vacation this year near Pupsa. Be there!

And at last let me make another announcement. I thought I should try the cargocollective thing. I found it interesting and quite nice & simple. So I started to upload stuff there; quickly I found out that I didn't update my portfolio from a while so I started to upload new stuff and still uploading. So please show me some love and if you feel like sharing please do, if not recycle it and get over it.

Pay attention because this is not a paid ad. This is a lovely collection of fresh tees broth by Synopsis called Shubakiller. You can buy them from U-man shop from all around the country and also if you are from aboard and still want to buy please email at ovidiu "at" synopsismedia "dot" com and I am 10% sure they will find a way to deliver you the t-shirt you want. In collection are 10 tees printed on different sizes and colors with very various styles of graphics. I love them all and I am going to buy them all right now. Because this is my blog and I write here about things I love, I need to notice that from the entire collection I definitely like the Armstrong t-shirt the most. Go buy, wear, appreciate and recycle.

If there is one thing that a graphic designer is waiting for, than that "thing" is Nike. I had the opportunity to work for my first time with Nike in May this year on their internal project - Nike Athlete Book. Here are some words about it, extracted from the book.

You are the world's elite athletes.
With your millions of fans across the world what you stand for makes a huge impact. This high profile influence is not easily won. It is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted. Few people possess the physical gifts you have. Fewer still are willing to put in the time, sweat, pain and daily sacrifice it takes to become the best. And it's the rare athlete who has the perspective and generosity of spirit to take the time to give back.
Are you in?

Stand with us and join your strength with ours
And together, we can change the world.

So if you never worked with big brand, you though: "Ok now I will be rich but it will be a pain in the ass to please the guys because probably they will give me a 50 pages brief and an hue brand book"....I was really surprised when, my contact person from Nike was like: "Stephan, all we need from you is 4 things: go absolutely wild, sign it with your style, do it dynamic and please let us space in the right down corner for text" So you probably know the result. You can also see photos with the Nike Athlete Book here. It was a really great experience to work on this project with Nike team and soon you will see more Nike projects coming from me.
And because I could manage to get my hand on a camera I took some pictures with the Noise5 book too. So you can see some nice finishing prints techniques.

Yo gang, lets help this tweet to become a T-shirt.
