Unbelievable but another year has past. Welcome 2012! I don't know about you but time seems to fly so fast. I like to take this oppertunity to thank all my readers for the continuing visits and support. I'm working on something new for this blog that I hope to launch early in the year.
People who follow me on
dribbble might have seen
a bit of the work I've done for
Jolena, a Belgian online shop that sells natural and durable toys. Since this project was absolute fun and a challenge to work on in every way, I thought it would be perfect to write about it.
Regular visitors will know that
Authentic Jobs has been a valuable partner in crime of this site for years. Speaking about years, it is that time to celebrate again. Authentic Jobs turns SIX and just like
last year we are celebrating by giving back. Last year we all did wonders by raising an astounding
$21,386. Our new goal is an ambitious one…
It's been a while since I last did one of my logo design process posts. Some time ago I worked on the design of 2 logos for a client that I want to talk to you about here today. The initial job was to design only one logo for a new online application called
Acturent. Things changed along the way when I showed my client my two design proposals. What happened was that my client liked both. Sometimes it can be hard to make the right choice. The final decision was a smart one I believe, as we put both designs to good use, and it made total sense. So instead of redesigning only the product logo, we also redesigned the company logo. Here is my story…
As a (web) designer you always see ways to improve things on your own site. I have been slowly editing things around here, bit by bit here and there. A lot of them are hardly noticeable as they are small really, but some of them are rather big and are also new since today. I'm happy they are finally live today as it isn't always easy to find time to tweak. Here is an overview of everything I have been working on over the past couple of months.
In November my good friend
Aaron Gustafson contacted me with the request if I would be interested in designing the cover of his
new web design related book. Call me intrigued. Designing book covers isn't something that I do often and they are always a welcome creative challenge. Definitely when it involves illustration work. After checking my schedule and agreeing on the timing, there wasn't much doubt left.
It's been a while since I last talked about a design project here on my blog. My intention is to do a follow up on the post I wrote about
the design of this blog, but I thought it would be more interesting to talk about a client project first. The one I want to share with you here is the design for a webshop we (at
Duoh!) designed and (front-end) coded, called
Designcollectors…
Last Friday
Realmac Software, Ltd. released a big update to one of its products. I'm talking about RapidWeaver 5, the application that makes it easy to create a web site on your Mac. I've had the pleasure and honor of creating a theme for this new application.
The best part of
ExpressionEngine is its great community. Proof of this is the well thought and written article
A plea to Ellislab by Kenny Meyers. In this article Kenny voices some of the opinions that were formed during
EECI 2010, Leiden, NL. One of the areas he touches on in this post is the UX problems in ExpressionEngine 2. Since I helped Ellislab in designing this I feel that I need to clarify a few things about my involvement.
