We launched Extrude Studio Architecture. This time we decided to let the client do the talking:

“We wanted a website able to communicate with the visitor both directly and on an intuitive basis our way of approaching a project, but also the two-sided partnership between us and our clients. The structural and dynamic clarity and simplicity, dominated by a self sustained expressive load, are the basic coordinates of the visual experience the site has to offer, concepts that we recognise as fundaments for the architectural design style promoted by our office. The duality, the expressive symbolic symmetry constantly present as part of the graphic design, is an expression of our concept about the partnership designer-client, key elements that constantly shape and reflect each other.The X3 Studios team understood our needs, and furthermore, felt and completed our vision. They are all dedicated, talented people, highly professional, which now, at the end of our collaboration, or perhaps better said, at the beginning of it, we got to consider as friends. Most surely a partner our office has gained for all the projects that will follow.

We are sure you will find our website most useful, that it will convince you of our professionalism, seriousness and quality of services, and nevertheless, that you will enjoy the visual experience it has to offer.”

Tonik Gym (www.tonikgym.ro) is a fitness and bodybuilding club from Timişoara, which rapidly gained its recognition among other fitness clubs around.

It’s not usual when going into a fitness and bodybuilding club to see huge drawings on the walls, it’s not usual that such a location is monochromatic, without any of the bling-bling that we got so used to. However, Tonik Gym is a fitness and bodybuilding club which has a monochromatic website and full-of-graffiti walls. By using these guidelines, we tried to create something different, powerful and unique. The project is multimedia all the way down, including print materials, sport sacks and T-shirts, interior and exterior graffiti up to an interactive experience and Flick account.

Flash Programming - an abstract notion for some of us, even for those who work in this field. Whenever I have to explain what it means, I always choose to compare myself with a puppeteer. The puppeteer makes use of ropes to give life to his puppet and, by analogy, I give life to a design using Flash programming. Continue reading

Today December 21, 2007, we launched one of the most complex projects that we have worked on this year. BellevueResidence.ro is a website we created for an exquisite residential complex situated in Brasov.

Bellevue Residence is a project that included all the services we could provide: ID package design, marketing materials design and production needed for the branding campaigns, creation and development of an interactive online experience.

The visual online experience from Bellevue Residence is dominated by an exclusivist feeling, which is underlined by an open layout and a simple chromatic palette, to speak about elegance. Technically speaking, all these involved a virtual reproduction of the entire complex, surroundings and apartments, together with a tridimensional interactive presentation of the complex. The interactive presentation allows users and potential clients to request online information about a specific apartment from a specific building.

The virtual tour, which is supposed to be the climax for the entire online experience, is coming soon!

Thanks for the showcases on Website Design Awards, Beautifully Webdesign, Fcukstar, NewWebPick and to all of you who wrote about the new X3 website www.x3studios.com, during the 20 days that followed the launch, the website got over 17.000 unique visitors, from all over the world.

Thank you!
