Eco + Geeky T-shirt designs

Sat, 30 May 2009 08:04:51 +0400

It seems that I'm on a roll having ideas for T-shirt designs.

I actually consider them (both) to be trademark icons and portraying very successfully what I had in mind:

The power is in your hands - spread the word.

Another original design with a cheeky message that has been printed to t-shirts, mugs etc. I must admit that on a dark background it came out better than I thought. Some of my favorite merchandise are the following: .mybox{ width: 240px; float: left; text-align: center; } Long Sleeve Dark T-Shirt Green T-Shirt Ceramic Travel Mug Find the full catalog here: http://www.cafepress.com/tracend/6698265

Sanitarium - Distant Voices

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 04:00:00 +0400

Back in 1998 I was playing "Sanitarium" and listening to the "Razorblade Suitcase" by Bush (still one of my favorite albums). I happened to notice how well the cinematics of the game fitted with the song "Distant Voices". In fact I remember trying to synchronize the video intro with parts of the song. I always wanted to create a mashup video of the two but that didn't happen then mainly because of my limited video editing resources...

Lately I stumbled upon some videos of "Sanitarium" on YouTube and the idea sparkled again in my mind. Of course I don't take credit for any 3D animation or the music. I just did some editing work to visualize what I had imagined.

Watching it now, I can say that it is better than I had hoped for - in fact I feel it's something worth sharing, that's why I'm presenting it here :)

Template Blocks: Tour

Tue, 06 May 2008 04:00:00 +0400

This is an advertisement created for Template Blocks, an open source visual template engine:

I had complete control over this media element, doing all the concept, processing, editing of the video and audio. A custom voice over, some commercial electronic music and a tad of post-fx work can go a long way :)

You're so bad T-Shirt

Mon, 05 May 2008 04:00:00 +0400

This is another T-Shirt I designed. It's yet another one of those lifestyle quotes I make, somewhat offensive some might say (but totally honest and true to say the least). The idea is original and the clipart was done from scratch in photoshop, although I had some influence from something I saw online for the back sign. I decided to open up a special store for these t-shirts at www.cafepress.com/tracend (now they are sprung across my other websites). I figured they make more meaning to be affiliated with the site I write my personal thoughts than anywhere else. I'll be moving the rest of my designs there shortly...

A set of electronic songs created as a tribute to the robot sci-fi. The songs have been inspired literally by every movie, anime or book that deals with robots and combines these ideas in one package. Many of the songs have specific themes or storylines behind them.

Move On [AMV]

Sun, 10 Jul 2005 08:00:00 +0400

An AMV in a documentary form, presenting the events followed when robotics entered industrial production. Excerpt from the story: "... In the first decades of the new millennium most human labor workers were replaced by more efficient robot units. Due to the robots there was a 49% growth in industrial production, only in the first year. Financial prosperity was at it's peak. Nevertheless only a small minority profited. This new era of robotic industry didn't help to hold the already built-up temper of common workers ..." Created for the Robot Archives: www.robot-archives.com

The Button

Fri, 08 Apr 2005 04:00:00 +0400

This is a funny video made with the built-in video capturing of Sims 2. I love machinima and although my work here is kind of "amateurish" I still like watching it. The song is also mine and it's a remix of the song "Galvanize". In general the Chemical Brothers feeling is kept through the video - repeated scenes with some distorted imaging, and of course accompanied with an uplifting dance tune.
