Art. Lebedev

“We live the way we like. We work the way we believe is right. We don’t give a shit for all corporate values combined. All award plaques end up hanging in our lavatory. We abhor the buzzwords ‘creative solution’ and ‘optimization of business processes’. For our clients we rarely write proposals more than one page in length.

This does not prevent us from being the biggest design studio in Russia, boasting the largest portfolio, and having no fear that we’ll get overtaken by someone in the next ten to twenty years.”

Lightbox JS

Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. Places images above your current page, not within. This frees you from the constraints of the layout, particularly column widths.
