This week I finished of the latest newsletter from out company. Again I’m pretty proud about the end result! You can find the whole newsletter here.

A few weeks ago I got contacted by mister Echelard from France. He found my grunged photo on Stock Exchange and asked for a high resolution version of it for use in a cd cover design. Unfortunately, due to a laptop crash I didn’t have it anymore and could only provide him the one he allready found on sxc. Below you’ll find the end result he designed. The cd is from the band Ph you can find their myspace page here.

The past few months I kept getting the error, You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page, when trying to update my Word Press version automatically. I also couldn’t edit pages anymore. It took a while of searching different forums all over the web, most of the given solutions weren’t working for me at all. Today however I found time to search for another solution and I found it finally!

It seems that somehow during one of the upgrade processes the database got buggy. It stated I was logged in as an administrator but not all features were enabled though. After I Googled again I found this page. At first I didn’t think this had anything to do with my own problem. However I saw some people posting they couldn’t upgrade automatically anymore. Then I read the post of “lottasound”. He came with the following solution:

I had the same problem but solved like this.

Open your wp database in phpmyadmin.

“Find the full code here”

worked for me

And yes! It worked for me to! My Word Press installation is fully functional at this time. To bad it took a while for me to find this solution. By posting it here I hope other people will find it even faster in the near future.

Recently I have a lot of projects where choosing the right colors is one of the most important step to take. During the process I experienced some annoying difficulty’s in getting the colors just right! After a while searching google I found the website below.  It explains how it’s possible to create different color scheme’s and where to look at when doing it. When reading the page I did some slight modifications throughout the project when looking at color and guess what! Yes, the color scheme was perfect!

Check this website yourself and bookmark it!

Colors on the web – Combining Colors

Maybe you’ll know, maybe you won’t. But I already wrote the meaning of most colors in two other posts. These however are a bit to long to keep in mind. Therefor it would be easier to have a simple table which explains most colors and shows it in a clear and simple view. Luckily I came across such table when reading a magazine about marketing. It’s so easy in use that I already use it a lot myself.

I will no longer keep you guys waiting. Here’s the table:

Browsing the SXC forums I found out a great topic (again from mister deraud ) which shows how a Macworld cover is made. It’s really depressing how much time the photography takes to get a nice photo.
