Interview with Riznlog

Miroslav — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:33:49 +0000

I am happy to post the link for the interview we made with Riznlog. They had this idea of interviewing me and asking me questions about the car design in general, how we work , what it takes to become a car designer and few things about working and living in Italy. In order to make the interview more appealing to the public we made it in two versions – Bulgarian and English, this would allow the Non-Bulgarian visitors to read the article too. It took us considerable time to put it all together but the final result is really worth it I must say! I hope you enjoy the reading!

Copy & Paste Design

Miroslav — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:40:13 +0000

In the creative field it’s usual to have things that inspire you, things that you like, things made by other people that you adore so much that you wish you have “DONE IT” firts. You can see that everywhere: Music Industry, Industrial Design of course….Architecture….everywhere! People and even companies (in our case car companies) copying each other and this is an issue we have to live with…

I had 5 minutes to spare this morning on my PC and accidentally I popped on this website: http://www.achatham.com/ I found the arrangement of the slides suspiciously similar to my website made by RIZN. I don’t think I can say something about the use of grey, black and cyan/blue colours on a white background, however I think this guy was quite impressed from the beautiful work of the guys at RIZN. To make it clear: I am NOT saying he is copying my sketches and designs, I just point-out the fact that his website has some really similar “design solutions” to my website.

When it comes to copying someone’s idea you can only take it as a compliment. This is the way I had to accept the work of a guy who graduated one year after me in Coventry University. On his degree show in 2006, he displayed a car that is totally different from my scale model, however the design of his car and especially the top (the rear top and the green house) was 90% according to the sketches I displayed in my book next to my model in the previous year. Moreovere, I saw him picturing with his camera EVERY single page of my book while I was there. As far as I remember he went to the Royal College for his Masters and now he is probably enjoying a successful career in the car design.
For me…I can take it only as a compliment. This is the silent but vivid proof that you’ve done something people like – something that inspired them. It means that people notice you, people want to do it like you!

Going back on the previous issue. RIZN is well known for creating amazing websites. It’s not the first time their work has been copied and it won’t be the last. They, just like me can take it only as a compliment…

I’ll leave you make your judgement.

THANK YOU!

I am very happy to announce my new website…finally, we waited so long for it :) All the efforts paid off at the end and I am extremely pleased with the result. It’s all about the presentation and now I have a digital pofolito to be proud of!

I have to say I owe many thanks to RIZN Communication Design for the outstanding job they put through. Their professional touch is far too vivid….and I feel a kind of special for all the attention they paid to my needs. I must say Thank You to Absolutely everyone involved into this. Great work guys!

I know this may sound a little like the MTV Awards, but I have to express my gratitude to all my freinds and people who contributed and supported me…and my girlfriend Vihra, who is behind me all the time!

yours,
miro
