I have made quite a few user interface posters for my GUIdebook website, and made print-ready files available free of charge for everyone interested.

So far close to 200 people requested the posters. One of the most popular series is... GUI obituaries,currently seven posters presenting the older user interface concepts and

systems that didn’t stand the test of time.

There are also 17 posters devoted to Apple Lisa’s legacy, and two about mouse pointers, with a lot more in the queue. I tried to make them all educational, inspiring and attractive, and I hope I succeeded!

Seven GUI obituaries

This was my small tribute to the golden age of videogames and one of its most important contributors. (Not so small, perhaps, as the poster was actually quite huge in size.)

Among 150 original screens from titles published by Atari Gamesyou can find all the classics – Asteroids, Breakout, Gauntlet, Missile Command, Pole Position and Pong – but also the more obscure titles, such as A.P.B. or Championship Sprint (two of my favourite arcades).

This poster was more than a year in the making, but I was quite happy with the finished result.

I’ve always wanted to have an (online) comic strip and this is my attempt at doing so.

This yet untitled and yet unfinished project has a fairly narrow audience, as it revolves around... vintage computers talking to each other.Also, I drew it in a specific, isometric, computer style.

Small tests proved that you might find it quite funny if you’ve been around old personal computers. Give it a try!

I never really liked PowerPoint with its laughable design possibilities, poor typography, and forcing everyone to communicate through bullet points.

That’s why I’m always on the lookout for new tools – Flash, Keynote, PDF, even my own presentation engines driven by DHTML or OpenGL – and new visualization/presentation ideas. Among the latter were “presentation canvas as a desk,” slides as a stack of Polaroids, showing presentations from two overhead projects at once, limiting text on slides in favour of printed handouts, and other ideas.

The public always seems to appreciate the experiments.

I also have video editing experience. I started in 1996 with animated introductions to my programs, while recently I had the occasion to reuse and expand my knowledge while putting together somevideo prototypes.

A small corporate identity profile created for Cisco Regional Academy in Szczecin. I did most of the design myself, only in part basing it on Cisco’s promotional photography.

The materials that I created following this identity included leaflets, certificates, posters, billboards, stickers, wallpapersand websites.
