The House of Silhouettes

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

oleg is a silhouette

Another weekend. We went to the Victoria & Albert Museum to see China Design Now exhibition, which was quite good and inspirational. Graphics, fashion, architecture… Browsing through the museum afterwards, we came across some backlit wall, and this is where we stopped for 10 minutes and had some fun:) And this is how the House of Silhouettes was born. See below.

Pillow fight at Leicester Square and other weekend joys

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

So here we are. The long Easter weekend. Couldn’t be better, but the weather is terrible, makes you feel so good when you just stay inside. But staying inside for four days is what? Yes, bloody booooring!

At least we had one day spent in central London. Absolutely chilling, with freezing wind and even short stormy snow (ironically, we haven’t had even a trace of snow during last winter). Still day turned out to be very good. To start with, we went for a bit of shopping, and I’ve bought myself designer Philippe Stark’s Fossil watch (I haven’t had any since the emergence of the device called mobile phone :), then after a walk we proceeded to Ping Pong (our quite favorite Chinese restaurant) and after that we went to the cinema to see The Spiderwick Chronicles (which was ok, but we felt a bit too violent for a fairy-tale). So that was our day.

Oh, yeah, while we passing Leicester Square we saw a group of people standing there with no obvious reason. I felt intrigued. Most of them were carrying a (most often white) pillow. Something clicked in my brain almost instantly. I checked the time - it was 3 pm sharp, which meant only one thing: it is about to start any second now! And while I was getting my point-and-shoot our of the bag, people started the count-down: 10..9..8.. ..2..1. The pillow fight broke out!

..When we were leaving Leicester Square after the event was virtually over, few unfortunates were rushing to the square with their “weapons”. The importance of being punctual.. :)

A microsite for Independent Investment Reviews

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Independent Investment Reviews' website

A microsite for a small London investment company was built based on company’s brochure. The task was to create a simple to use site, which reflects clean and light IIR’s brochure’s design and brings the information in web format. Clean, semantic and valid mark-up, separate print version and additional SEO optimization. A quick and painless job :)

See screenshots in the portfolio or see project online.
