You might have noticed I don’t post as many as I did before. I’ve been very busy with a school project which consumes a lot of time. It’s also a bit busier @work. Days are long, but unfortunately not long enough to do all I want 
. There are some posts in the pipeline though and I hope to get back to you within a few weeks (hopefully a lot sooner). In the meanwhile check out my activity on Google+.
Sometimes you come across a new kind of website. A website that utilizes other tools and implement a design around it. Uniqlo did just that with their website for a Japanese Fashion brand Undercover. The website uses the Google maps tooling to let visitors browse through the content. Check it out in the video above or try it yourself @ http://www.undercover.uniqlo.com/us/.
Sites like this are raising the bar in my opinion. They’re exploring a new way to show content or to use a website. I’m not saying this is the best way to do it but it should certainly work as an eye opener for web designers. Don’t think basic…think more!
On one of the first sunny days this year our project group had an appointment with the client. When I got there I received some gifts from a friend, Maarten Kleyne. I didn’t immediately know what it was exactly. It turned out it we’re two prints of his artwork I really liked, Cocaina Infection and Pseudo Silk Kimono.
Cool! It was exactly the sort of art I wanted on the wall. Unfortunately one of them didn’t quite fit into the room’s atmosphere. Therefore I asked for another one, the Odds. This turned out to be a great choice and today we finally managed to put them on the wall.
A simple and standard photograph can impress you immensely. But it’s possible to make a photo even more intense by editing it a bit and create a creative (sometimes unrealistic) scene. This post processing is a lot of work but it pays of! It gives you an original and never seen before end result as these examples show. Bookmark them for inspiration!
Personally I’m not that good in editing images to create this sort of photographs / artwork. It’s a learning process though and there are some really nice tutorials that discuss post processing photos. Check out this article to start yourself!
Social media is hot these days. From time to time there are new social networks or other kinds of social awesomeness coming up . Think Pinterest for example, the new social hype right now. But not everybody is as enthusiastic as I am.
