SXSWi geeks gathering

26 comments 2008 at 03.33 pm posted by Veerle Pieters

So I left Austin and arrived in New York safely for the last days of our US trip. It has been a little weird compared to previous years because the weather wasn’t that great in Austin. Most of the days had wind, some rain and Cindy even saw a tornado!

You may have noticed already but I am taking a break at the moment. Today we just arrived in Austin, Texas for SXSWi. The previous days I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with my best friend Cindy in San Francisco.

Layer Tennis match thoughts

My body seems to have recovered nicely from all late evening excitement (in my timezone that is) from playing the previously announced live Layer Tennis match. A good night sleep can work miracles :)

This coming Friday is going to be something special. So what’s up? Well, I got an invite for the popular Layer Tennis game set up by Coudal Partners. I challenged my opponent like in the good old days by throwing my glove before her :)

What is Graphic Design?

194 comments 2007 at 05.48 pm posted by Veerle Pieters

It seems to be embedded in human nature to try to label things to identify it. Labeling itself is not bad, but I’m talking about making things sound more fancy or smart. It’s already hard enough to get everybody on the same line when using well known terms. It’s all subjective and everybody has a different vision or interpretation.

Blue Beanie Day

It’s been a few years now since I decided to throw all the old school methods out the door and commit myself in supporting Web Standards in every single website project. Today is “Blue Beanie Day”, in honor of Jeffrey Zeldman’s photo on the cover of his book, “Designing with Web Standards”.

Server move this weekend

19 comments 2007 at 01.32 pm posted by Veerle Pieters

This weekend will mark another milestone in my little blogs history as my site will migrate to new servers. It’s like when you are grown up and you are ready to leave the parents to explore the big world. Luckily I am in the capable hands of the good folks of EngineHosting to make this as smooth as possible.

Designs for the Duoh! website that didn’t make it

38 comments 2007 at 02.26 pm posted by Veerle Pieters

For me it’s usually a bit of fun to talk about a successful finished project. Every design project is a challenge, because it’s always different. Whether it’s a logo design or website design, to me, working on my own projects is the most difficult thing. That’s probably the case for every graphic designer. Because people have mailed me about when the new Duoh.com would be online, I thought I’ll share some of the designs that didn’t make it and explain my thinking process and why I rejected them.
