From time to time people ask me why I’m a designer. I always reply that I like to create inspiring and original representations of any idea I’m given. This can be personal or work related projects. It’s about creation, giving it the right beauty.

Sometimes, well more than I like, people reply and say: “Well, that shouldn’t be needed. It doesn’t matter, as long as the product is good.” That always stuns me a little. I don’t really get that at all…they say a thing like this and in the meantime pick out the prettiest products they see.

Below you’ll find this weeks design & photography inspiration. Every week I’ll post an article which covers the inspiration I’ve found on different websites. By doing this, I want to influence my creative side and develop it even further. Hopefully it will inspire you too!

Creating a social media strategy is hard work. It costs a lot of time, which you DO have to invest. Investing enough time is important to create a working strategy. Don’t approach social media too hastily!

Strategies are available in many, many forms. Each company has and needs its’ own strategy. Every company is unique in it’s own way and so is the appropriate social media strategy. Every strategy should have the same basis though. Why? Because any social strategy should have these things in it. That basis is what I call RODEO.

Last week I posted my first portfolio item in a while. Today the second small item follows and things are picking up fast…expect to see some rocking stuff the next few months.

This is an simple design in the form of a letter. The letter has our (old) corporate identity and has a little eye candy. A simple letter that explains what to do and when to do it to win that iPad 2. We chose for a letter because people know we have to tell something important when we send out letters. And of course an exhibition is important!

It’s been a while since I’ve added something work related to my portfolio. That’s because times were less busy and projects weren’t meant to be available to the public.

Last week however, we launched a new direct mail for our subsidiary company ISN. It’s a discount on a new Taximeter + Printer so entrepreneurs are ready for the new law that became official in October.
