Designojek is a design studio founded by Dave Gnojek, a creative mind whose skills span a range of art forms and whose passion is reflected in his work. Founded in 2004, Designojek serves a diverse range of clients and provides a variety of ways for individuals and businesses to visually communicate their message, both in print and on the web. The Fine Arts community has been especially quick to embrace this company because of Dave’s background in music and art as well as in design. This level of knowledge makes communication with other artists seamless, allowing less time for confusion and more time for creation. In addition, Designojek has also worked with software companies, educational research centers, and a number of small businesses both in the midwest and nationally. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-214120-9’]); _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]); (function() { var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true; ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘http://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();Tumblr (3.0; @designojek)http://designojek.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="227" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tr3ftsCVXhc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/23623592449" target="_blank">thekidshouldseethis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span><span>Check out <a href="http://youtu.be/tr3ftsCVXhc" target="_blank">this DJ Angelo mashup</a> sporting some serious turntablism.
