” – Salut Ciprian, am nevoie de o eticheta. Ştiu exact ce vreau.
Am nevoie doar de un designer pentru a pune in opera.
- Salut, ma bucur pentru tine!
Dimpotrivă, nu ai nevoie de mine. Cu siguranta esti designer. Ai doar nevoie de cineva care stie cum sa foloseasca software-ul computerului.”

… Exista o mare diferenta intre capabilitatile unui designer si proiectele in care reusesc sa se angajeze de fapt. In ceea ce ma priveste, nu raspund pozitiv la nevoile unora care doresc sa-si demonstreze siesi abilitatile in toate domeniile, in toate industriile, in toate mediile. Unii se pliaza “pe nevoile clientului”. Din partea mea, sa ramana pliat-fandat, ca doar asta e rolul lor.

Raspunzand acelui mesaj mi-a reamintit ce a insemnat DesNet (reteaua de designeri profesionisti) prin 95-96… cu misiunea sa aiba un cod deontologic. A devenit proctologic in mai putin de-o luna si m-am retras cu mare placere. Poate altadata voi da amanunte despre unealta DesNet si de ce am creat eu jucaria deSenator.

Selected is not an award, but rather, as its name suggests, it is a selection of interesting projects completed during the past year. These are chosen by a selection team which is annually designated by the publisher – Index Book.

The idea originated in the Spanish project, Select which, for the past 8 years, has been showcasing a selection of the best graphic design from Spain. The success of this project has inspired Index Book to launch a European edition of this design yearbook.

The projects are picked out by a team of renowned professionals from various fields in visual communication who meet up to make a selection of the best work pieces among all the entries received. Only the projects chosen from their expert point of view shall be ultimately included in the book.

The annual is presented with an original design and in a special format, smaller than the average yearbook. The book is divided into three different categories (Graphic Design, New Media and Schools) and each project is featured individually in a double page spread. Instead of being numbered, each edition of Selected is assigned a letter in alphabetical order. The letter for each volume is also the initial of the font face used in the book. For instance, the first volume in the series is named ‘Selected A’ referring to the font face AkzidGroBe. This is Index Book‘s special way of paying homage to typography as an emblematic element in design.
