Become my facebook friend

I’ve been having a private account on Facebook for a quite a while now, but I don’t want to share everything with everyone, so I wanted to keep that account for people I know in real life.


But now I’ve finally decided to set up a special Facebook account for my Website. I’m just getting started and I haven’t quite found out yet what Facebook is capable of, but I’m getting there. Are we friends yet?

Photoshop Quick Tip #1: Gradient Strokes

08:39 PM in Tutorials, Work | 2 Comments

Gradient Stroke

This is the first of my Photoshop Quick Tip Series. Whenever I find a useful new feature or shortcut in Photoshop, you’lle be the first to know. ;)


Today I’ve created a Sign up Button and I wanted the stroke to have a gradient. I was thinking to myself that it would be great if you could do that using layer effects and while clicking around – Oh Suprise! – YOU CAN! Haha.

Inspiration Overload

Information Overload

When you’re working as a designer you have to read all kinds of design blogs to keep yourself updated on the lastest trends and technologies, but can you acutally read too many blogs? This article is about how I feel about inspiration overload – when too much inspiration is killing your creativity…


I have to check if that’s cool first…

While thinking about a design and concept for this site, I’ve subscribed to tons of RSS feeds and bookmarked hundreds of sites that contained stuff that might be interesting for my new site. Of course, over time I completely lost track of all the features I wanted to incorporate and at some point didn’t give a shit whether my design was “hip” or not…

Yaaaay! I’m blogging! Uhm…about what?

09:09 PM in Inspiration, Thoughts | 0 Comments

That’s what I thought last week. :) When I redesigned my site it was clear to me that I wanted to write a blog…about Design, the Web, Trends, Wordpress and all that stuff. I thought a lot about the design, but not really about what I wanted to write about, because I thought that would just come automatically. I had a thousand ideas what I wanted to write about, but when I was about to really publish my first blog post, I got completely stuck. I’ve started to write at least five posts about different topics, but after a few sentences I’ve just started to think

“no, there are already hundreds of blog posts about that” or “would anybody be interested in that?”…

It’s really difficult to get started. So I’m just sharing my thoughts with you. :) I’m sure I’m not the only one having a rusty start, am I?
