[edit] History and work
The studio began with graphic design, then expanded to include interfaces, web design, and most recently industrial design. It has an educational center, a publishing house, a media department, and several software teams.
[edit] Website
The studio's official website is available in Russian and English. Examples of work in the portfolio are often explained in detail.
The Russian version of the site has technical advice in HTML, XML, XSLT, JavaScript, CSS and other web technologies.
To accentuate the studio's particular attention to typesetting, the site is typeset as if it were a printed book; for example, punctuation marks and characters which extend to the left (Ф, О, Т, V, т and several others) are rendered several pixels to the left when they are at the beginning of a line.[3]
[edit] Design work
Art. Lebedev Studio produced the design for Russian search engine Yandex, the news sites Lenta.Ru and Gazeta.Ru and Russian promotional websites for Microsoft and Intel.[4]
The studio released the Optimus Maximus keyboard, with customizable Organic light-emitting diode displays on every key.[5]
