KONTRAST: Pali na ispitu // KONTRAST: Failed the test

Godinu dana nakon velikog požara u novosadskoj diskoteci Kontrast, u kojoj je životno stradalo šestoro mladih ljudi, još je u toku suđenje. Na optuženičkoj klupi trenutno sedi četvoro ljudi, a roditelji postavljaju pitanje da li su oni jedino odgovorni.

Na godišnjucu od požara, RTV istražuje kako na tu tragediju gledaju svedoci, porodice nastradalih, sud, vatrogasci i predstavnici inspekcija, čiji je zadatak bio da Kontrast kontrolišu.

Design work for the ETC 2013

I have started to work on the design for the upcoming premiere war-gaming event in the world, the “European Team Championship 2013″. It will be held in Novi Sad, Serbia this year. The gathering will encompass more than 600 participants from all around the world. The organizers have asked me to do a solution for the logo and the visual identity of the competition. This is a promo poster I finished today. Later on I will make a full on report on the process and the idea behind it.

Cheers

2013

Another year on the rise and bubbling with potential. Here is the scoop and my five cents on the last year.

Last year ended with some nice memories and some bad experiences. I had time in the last month to think about  what is that I’m good at and what I want to do. In that time I decided  (as a new years resolution or what ever) that I wont be working on commercial projects any more. I realized that it does not suit me. I rather be doing stuff that is beneficial to the community that surrounds me and not a single person or a company that is trying to make money. I’m a stubborn bastard and people who are in this job for the money and glory (nice it may be) can’t work with a prick like me. So that is all I’m going to say about that.

On the other hand I got back to my old house which is the regional TV station RTV Vojvodine. They were kind enough to give me a job as a director on a teenage show dedicated to the online lives of the young and restless. We will se how it will turn out.

There are some interesting things happening around the local gaming world and I have been asked to participate in the design process of this “competition” that will take shape here in Novi Sad later this year. That is going to be awesome and more on that later.

I was also thinking on reincarnating a cartoon character from a few years back. I drew him during my studies at the academy. There is a strong possibility that the psycho will return in a form of a web-comic also later this year.

So this is me saying thank you to all of you, who I met and worked with last year, and I wish you all a very fruitful and exciting year.

Cheers

News

I’ve been back home for almost three months now. Bahrain was unforgettable, met some very nice people and worked on great projects. Now I moved from my old apartment and moved from my old job. I work at Fullscream now. We worked before on projects and they have a great team already in place to which I’m still getting used to. The colleagues from my previous employment at RTV Vojvodine organized a conference this week called VIZID and it was great to see them again hard at work. The opportunity to play a part in it did not pass me by so I helped out as much as I could in my spare time. The conference was a starting point for a this project, which is meant to be a gathering  of creatives  and designers in public medias from the region. I had the pleasure to meet and have some nice discussions on design problems in public media with Vida Zoltán, the designer (and Art Director) of the new identity of MTVA, the newly reformed Hungarian public media organization. There is a lot more stuff going on and I will keep you updated on my special and pet projects that are in the works.

Cheers

In Bahrain

RTV VOJVODINE NEW IDENTITY / NOVI IDENTITET RTV VOJVODINE

The new visual identity of RTV was implemented on 29. November 2011. The new logo and the idea for the new identity came from the concept of dynamics and motion. The concept of the “actuator” was born together with the logo – a propeller.

Novo rešenje vizuelnog identiteta RTV-a je implementirano 29.novembra 2011. godine. Novi zaštitini znak i ideja celokupnog identiteta proizašla je iz pojma dinamičnosti i pokreta. Razvijen je koncept “pokretača” i kreiran novi zaštitni znak – propeler.

Definicija:

propeler ili elisa je aerodinamički oblikovana površina koja mehanički rad pretvara u vučnu ili potisnu silu. Energija koju generiše propeler može da se akumulira ili da se pokrene: da osvetli, da pređe određeni put ili da podigne na određenu visinu.

This propeller (actuator) contains layers of meaning. It is universal and simple – known to everyone. It is present in our culture and tradition (windmills,watermills), in innovation and sustainability and in the natural powers that can create motion. It has the tendency to change but his primary characteristic is motion but his role is creation. The main form of the logo is made up of six parts in this case, colors. They symbolize the cultural diversity in Voivodina and it is created by intersecting of three ellipsoids. Together they create motion and through motion they are a creative force which in turn drives teamwork “In motion” which is also the new slogan.

Ovaj propeler (pokretač) u sebi sadrži više nivoa značenja. On je dovoljno univerzalan i jednostavan – svima prepoznatljiv. Nalazi se i u tradiciji naše kulture (vetrenjačama i vodenicama), u inovativnim i savremenim težnjama (priči o obnovljivim energijama), u energiji koja pokreće – u prirodi. On ima tendenciju promene, ali njegova primarna karakteristika je kretanje, a uloga stvaranje. U suštini, zaštitni znak je jedna forma koju čine više, u ovom slučaju šest, različitih krakova – šest boja. Simbolizuju jedinstvo različitih kultura u Vojvodini, dobijenih ukrštanjem tri elipsoidne forme. Zajedno one stvaraju pokret i stvaraju kroz pokret, pa tako čine i dobar timski rad “U POKRETU”, što je i novi slogan.

The new logo is the basis of the new identity, it’s elements also represent  – apart from the symbolic meanings of diversity and fellowship – the media outlets the company has. Radio Novi Sad (three channels), Television Novi Sad (two channels), RTV Internet and “M” production. These distinct medias will also get their image derived from the new visual identity.

Novi znak je osnova ovog vizuelnog identiteta, njegovi elementi sem toga što simbolizuju različitosti i zajedništvo, na nivou ovog medijskog servisa predstavljaju Radio Novi Sad (prvi, drugi i treći program), Televiziju Novi Sad (prvi i drugi program), Internet RTV-a i M produkciju. Ovi segmenti RTV-a će tako i dobiti svoj imidž.

We had wished to create a contemporary and simple visual identity for RTV. On the other hand it had to be functional and flexible to satisfy the needs of the divers needs of this public media service. Our idea is to further develop this concept and make constant changes in the future in the form of visual refreshments.

Želja nam je bila da dizajniramo jedan jednostavan i savremen vizuelni identitet RTV-a. S druge strane težili smo funkcionalnom rešenju koje će biti dovoljno fleskibilno da pokrije mnogobrojne segmente ovog medijskog javnog servisa. Ideja je da se ovaj koncept razvija u dužem vremenskom periodu sa većom dinamikom, tj. češćim promenama i vizuelnim osveženjima.

The creative team which formed and created the new visual identity of RTV are:  Endre Ajandi, motion designer, Nikola Berbakov, graphic designer, Jovana Budošan, graphic designer, Slobodan Govorčin, copywriter, Aleksandar Ilić, motion designer, Robert Kliban, motion designer, Zoran Nikolić, composer, Miroslav Pavlovič, motion designer, Aleksandar Šećerov, graphic designer.

Kreativni tim koji je osmislio i realizovao novi vizuelni identitet RTV čine: Endre Ajandi, dizajner pokretne grafike, Nikola Berbakov, grafički dizajner, Jovana Budošan, grafički dizajner, Slobodan Govorčin, kopirajter, Aleksandar Ilić, dizajner pokretne grafike, Robert Kliban, dizajner pokretne grafike, Zoran Nikolić, kompozitor, Miroslav Pavlovič, dizajner pokretne grafike, Aleksandar Šećerov, grafički dizajner.

Atheist Rap – Ne bi bilo fer on MTV adria

I forgot to mention that i worked and made a music video with cinematographer Predrag Radosavljevic for the legendary punk band “Atheist Rap”. I grew up in a rural village in the nineties when the band had most of its hits and we listened to them all the time. So after all these years, you can say that this was more an honor to make, then just another job. Pedja is also a punk who grew up around and with the band members and was excited to make the video. I have to say that they are a grea team and one of the only bands in Serbia who can say that they live of and for the music they make.

So here is the link for the article on MTV and soon you can catch the music video on their official website too.
