Welcome to my homepage!

My name is Dusan Vuckovic, and I'm from Belgrade, Serbia, where I live and work. This site is an attempt to showcase my work so far, mainly in DTP/web field. Since this is the only place on the web where I publish things, I will certainly use this site for some work unrelated things also (photos, personal projects, etc).

I have many interests, but main are: web design & web technologies, desktop publishing (DTP), digital photography, astronomy, 3D modeling & rendering, video... Currently, my professional career is in DTP.

If you have a work proposal or a project on which we can cooperate, feel free to contact me using the Email link in footer below.
