Do you feel like your 2011 was not as satisfying as you expected it to be? Did you do everything in your power to achieve what you wanted? In any case smart words of healthy motivation can never hurt.
I love reading J Michael Dolan’s blog and I want to share with you his final post for 2011:
Whether Christmas or Chanukah or [place here..] is your thing, I hope everyone is having wonderful holiday season and I want to wish you all a fantastic and exciting New Year!!
May 2012 be peaceful, healthy, joyful and eye opening for all of us humans ;)
…and to make sure we are a good match… if you were planning to contact me with the approach similar to any of the clients’ from this video, please do not hesitate to look for another designer ;))
JUMP! That was the official theme of this year’s ARMA Expo’11 show campaign of Iron Mountain, a world leader in information management services. I was asked to help bring the new refreshed company image into their sales department’s tools and presentations and to create the newest IM trade show materials.
Everything was designed in Photoshop CS4 for different size media screens; photos of jumping employees were provided by the company; no print materials have been used.
Below is one of the many pieces of the puzzle and HERE you can take a look at the rest if you wish ;)
One of my recent projects involved the total, and let’s call it “extreme” (!), make-over of a film production studio’s website. Having in mind that the company really wanted to be able to edit the content themselves, yet a custom CMS was not an option, I just based the site on WordPress engine while making sure that every other aspect of it was customized. Here are the before and after:
Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross
Text JAPAN or QUAKE to 80888 to donate $10 to the Salvation Army
Text JAPAN to 50555 to donate $10 to GlobalGiving.org
Call 1-888-392-0392 to donate to DoctorsWithoutBorders.org
Call (800)481-4462 to donate to Internationalmedicalcorps.org
Married, single or in an “open relationship” (I don’t quite believe there is such thing but hey…”whatever works” ;)) … I hope you HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Well actually I’ve had my Behance.net account for many months already, but couldn’t find any time to organize and prepare my portfolio before uploading it.
Behance is the leading online platform for creative professionals. That’s what they say ;) But, hey, it’s another place to publish your portfolio if you’re a creative. It’s been out there for quite some time and it truly seems to be a good one. I like the simplicity of updating my profile, creating a new folder (“Project”) and uploading multiple images with one click. Customizing the color scheme and fonts is another huge plus for me. As much as I like it simple and I’m not any more into over-customizing everything (maybe it’s also the matter of having no time for it…), some images just look better on dark, and some on light backgrounds right? ;)
And it really is one of the super inspiring places on the internet. Filled with (and reserved for) professional artists from all over the world, it can be a sweet treat to browse through so many beautiful stuff of all kinds.
I suppose it’s a great networking tool as well but I can’t say anything about that part yet, since I’ve been using it for 2 days now.
Anyway, I do recommend getting an account if you can. Or just bookmarking and visiting for your viewing pleasure ;)
And of course please stop by and check my portfolios from time to time: www.behance.net/PUNIAF
Therefore last months were REALLY (I mean it) intense. And VERY happy ;) Wedding time is over and in the past but I thought I’d share with you a part of our e-invitation design.
This time the entire series of 7 posters was [super quickly] designed to illustrate Edeyo’s efforts. They were displayed at Edeyo’s annual fundraiser in the end of June in New York. Hosted by Michelle Rodriguez and filled with stars including John Legend, the Foundation’s 3rd anniversary fundraiser at The Bowery Hotel was named by US Magazine “Legendary night out” ;) Lucky my posters to witness the evening from the walls!
HELLO!! Thanks for visiting! I’m PUNIAF. Graphic Design is my life’s passion and I AM a graphic designer.. That said, I wake up everyday and I think “damn I’m lucky!”.
Whatever I do or work on I do my best to live in an eco-friendly way and help promote sustainability… My Mom taught me this.
I’m a very new, “green” blogger ;) but I hope you find one thing that will bring you an inspiration or a smile. Have a fantastic day!
Oh yes… please keep in mind that English is not my first language! ;)
