A new option for Designers
Being more the visual and not the bracket-dot-hyphen-ampersand-guy gives me headaches from time to time. Following the rising need of customers to alter their content ‘personally’ by setting up, customizing or mashing up large open source CMS like Joomla! or typo3 is time-consuming and not funny. These systems have a huge overhead of functions which [...]
Antistress programme
The past 4 days I went through the personal nightmare of every computer owner. During my last project, just when I sent 32 pages via FTP to the printing press, my computer froze to death. It never happened to me like this before… Not during playing a game with heavy graphic, not during nibbling around [...]
Summer greetings
I’m experimenting with the excellent pictures of my friend & partner Andrei (more photos from him on his site Finlandia). I took this opportunity to send you some summer greetings for your viewing pleasure. Click on thumbnails to enlarge. Tags: design, pictures, work
Loving heaps of pixels
I’m an icon addict. I love these little symbols. I am not alone: Google search for the word icon delivers 363 million hits. Featured by the numerous eye-candy upcoming blogs icons are evading from the ‘just information’-character … and are getting bigger in size. The biggest icon I saw was about 500 x 500 pixels [...]
Teaching anatomy, physiology and pathology
Three days ago I started my new job at the Willi Dungl center in Lower Austria. I have the chance to pass my knowledge as a medical doctor on to students who are instructed to become biotrainers (a special education which includes classical massage, thermotherapy, reflextherapy, lymphatic drainage and electro-therapy). It’s fun to be teacher/instructor [...]
Experimenting with K2 (updated)
In the next few days I’m redesigning my blog. I use used the terrific k2-Theme as a basis for my development. So don’t be shocked to see different styles every hour or so… When it’s done I’ll stick a post out. I chose to use the theme from Barthelme now (as you might have noticed) [...]
Happy family logo
Yesterday I designed a logo for a client who is working in parent consultancy. It is interesting to look at the basics of an iconesque appearance: what is necessary to have female/male distinction, what can you omit to achieve adequate reduction? I’ll work more on that… Tags: design, illustration, work
German Blog redesigned
I managed to finish the coding for my German Blog. Using a WordPress Theme of Fen was a good start. I recoded some of the CSS and sidebar widgets to accomplish the current look. And of course I used the fabolous icons from IconBuffet. It will cover topics on resources, photography and design in German [...]
The survey that counts
As every year the brilliant website ‘A List Apart’ is conducting its survey on Web Design. It doesn’t take long and if you’re interested in winning a supadupa tee or something else or just want to join the community in producing valuable results with the survey – do it! (and click on the button…) Tags: [...]
Routine
Routine has two qualities for me: avoiding development and providing the ground for it. I often find myself deliberately stuck in routines. Feels safe and comfortable. Moving (or not moving?) on safe ground has its qualities. On the other hand I totally freak out when I perceive this status to be longer than one hour. [...]
