DOAUA BABE

Doauã babe bãtrâne sã vorovisãrã în uliţã. Una sã lãuda cãtã ceielaltã:
– Crezi, nu crezi, lã noi tãtie aşe or fost dã chistaşe ca-n poticã. Apu, dacã s-o-ntâmplat cã mâţa o sorbit on pic dîn uala cei cu lapte, noi nu mai mâncam dîn iel, numa ce-l ţâpam la porci.
– Nici noi n-am bãut niciodatã dupã mâţa – i-o rãspuns vecinã-sa, – numa atâta cã noi am fert cu iel.

- Hi my name is Bob, I'm a graphic designer

- Really? Wow, man that's really interresting! Since when?

- Well, I've been in the field now from 2005, so that means I'm in my 46th year since I started my studio.

- Really man that's awesome ... And?...What's your proudest design moment? Can you recall?

-Yes. It's clearly the year 2035 when I redesigned the new 'STOP SMOKING' icon ... It was a blast man ... that was ... like ... breathtaking.

-Wooooow!! I'm actually speaking to the designer of the 'STOP SMOKING' sign ... Can I have your autograph?

-Sure man! Here ya go...

-Wow, thanks man ... one other question...

-Sure, go ahead.

- Do you have a light?

SHUBAKILLER-LAUNCH&LOG

It's been 3 years since my first(unprofessional - hobbyist) attempt to printing t-shirts. Took me 1 year to ponder/weigh/balance/calculate/think/re-think the possibility of doing it again .... that did not work..... so 2 more years passed.... Till...

...one day I approached Silvia and plainly asked her ... How about Shubakiller? Hmm? ... Should we?... Could we?... Would we? ........ And that was 3 months ago.

After deciding not to play anymore and really get something out... well ... This is what we came up with as the first row of many more to come. 10 T-shirts ( 100 per model - limited editions ). After a simple math - we designed and printed 1000 T-shirts for our preferred audience... The Middleclass.

To give you, the wearer ( & hopefully bearer) a bit more insight on the process we all went through to get this done as we saw it fit. Here are a few tehincal and process details about what/how we did it.

1. The Tees are high quality 215gsm - 100%cotton - combed
2. The designs are silkscreened with water based high quality inks

Here is a taste:

Well... if that isn't enough.Fine.

As we are friends of the environment, for the shopfloor presentation, we handcrafted ALL 1000 labels out of recycled cardboards and hand-printed them using good old fashioned lasercut stamps.

Here are some making-of photos from the labeling process:

And finally but not lastly we DID have massive fun while shooting the presentation photos. Here is a taste:

Excerpt from the NY-Times Column ( my favorite one )

ON BRANDING...

'Branding' is nothing more than what it actually means:

-you have your cow

-you have your (custom-made) hot iron.

-You burn it on the cow

-The cow becomes yours

-The cow does not share your enthusiasm for proprietary ownership

-The cow still remains a cow (animal) nothing more, nothing less

- But you did your job and that is all you care for

-The rest is just a sorry excuse for existence


- - - - - - - - - - - -

P.N.:

"Brand-doctors", as they (self-indulgently) call themselves, or better "Brand Builders" are nothing more than a conglomerate of self-sufficient marketing idiots with no idea whatsoever who they really are, propagating false doctrines and a selfish excuse for their existence. God help us all.

Domnul Abramovici

Dimineata,in drum spre serviciu, un evreu vede in statia de tramvai, un domn bine facut si foarte bine imbracat. Prezenta lui il intriga. Un domn astfel imbracat nu se duce la serviciu la aceasta ora a diminetii; daca nu se duce, inseamna ca vine; de unde poate veni in zori de zi un domn astfel imbracat dect de la o dama; un domn bine vine de la o dama bine; la noi in cartier sunt trei dame bine: Natasa, care-i insa plecata la Leningrad, Rashela, dar de la ea vin chiar eu, si sotia mea. Sotia mea are trei amanti: directorul ei (firesc), directorul meu (normal), si pe un oarecare domn Abramovici.

- Buna dimineata, domnule Abramovici!
- Buna dimineata. Dar de unde ma cunoasteti?
- Simpla deductie......
