Two fresh new sites: Klankwerk and Gestreept

Klankwerk, a party the 20th of may 09 at ICC Ghent – print and web design was done by me, flash development by Nico Strobbe. The party is organized by Forest, who also organizes Forest Festival each summer. The URL still has to be changed… Klankwerk on facebook

Gestreept, a short film made by Toon Mertens for HVV. Print design made by my friend Wendy Wauters, web design done by me and development by Thomas Van Herpe.

Gestreept


Senses is a headhunting agency which searches for communication professionals for all branches in sectors as advertising, media agencies, online companies, etc

Have a look at their boss-proof website, because they made it pretty creative. The concept is “Your boss doesn’t have to know that you’re surfing to Senses”. You can visit the regular site or choose between three disguised web themes.
My favorite theme is the Japanese restaurant:

While being sick and covert under my sheets with my mac on my lap, and a large box of tissues, I thought that this is a nice opportunity for updating the blog a bit.

First, I found this great railway visualizations made by zero per zero, “City Railway System”. They explain that the subway line map is the symbol of a city. So the character of the city is infused into the line map with such course of simplification and modification.
“By means of line map design following the character and identity of the city,
we can easily communicate with tourist with the expression of the city and
its character by aiming to develop a total tourism system with service
that targets tourism through line map design.”
This one
depicts Tokyo’s intricate network of subway, lightrail and monorail, with more than 1500 stations covering the metropolitan area.afbeelding-1

Soon I will post the results of my latest two freelance jobs. One is for Rabbit (productionhouse), all print design, and the other is for a short movie Gestreept. My friend Wendy and I made a poster, a DVD inlay and a website for them. My friend mainly focused on the print design and I on the website. The posters have been printed, and the website will be on-line somewhere in the beginning of January.postera21

Can’t post a lot about the work I did at Internet Architects because none of it is on-line yet. But will be soon. I’m going to give a small presentation at work about usability testing because  my collegue Peter Van Dijck and I did two tests the last couple of weeks. And I will also post a summary of the presentation on this blog.


Great song, great lyrics, great video


The 21st International Biennale – 17 ’till 26 October – ten days of lectures, workshops, debates, a competition and a young designers and professionals fair.

Although I’m not that enthusiastic about the Interieur Kortrijk ‘08, I do want to post some creative designs I saw there. I find the youngdesignersfair one of the most pleasant spots at the biennale, you find creative and conceptual ideas presented in design prototypes. Beneath some of my favourites and things I would like to have!
SwiTCh
SwiTCh is a new concept in design, created by Ellen Ectors. It is a chair and a table, a relaxing seat and a small working place in one. It switches instantly and effortlessly. read more…
The balls are comfortable, there’s enough space for your legs under the table, you win space because the ball fits exactly under the table or in the shape and it is pleasant for the eye with it’s geometric and simple design.

My favorite piece of work is made by Ingo Hofmeister ‘AKUSTISCH‘.
This simple design contains different music instruments in one table. I see my friends and I having a bbq during summer and in between making some music with our knives and forks…I think it is a great concept and if I had the money I would buy it immediately!

A very simple yet creative idea is this hammock (don’t remember who made it) with coloured ties.

Some more nice designs:


Rabbit

03Oct08

For the moment I’m working on some things for Rabbit Belgium and I just wanted to post their new website which is pure, elegant, simple but with some nice unpredictable twists in it. go have a look.

Just luuuve the colour flow when you point your mouse on one of the shortfilms or when you navigate through the directors menu.


If you need some inspiration or you’re just interested in beautiful package design, then there’s one veryyy yummie website you have to visit www.thedieline.com

I love pop-up books, here some of my favorite:
