Stitches, patterns and brushes

Lately i have been working on stitches for fashion design, patterns for summer clothing and pencil style illustrations. I have created a bunch of brush and pattern sets in Illustrator.

Stad van de toekomst

Weeks ago, i made an illustration for iMinds that was published in a flemish paper. I was very curious to see the end result in the paper as working for print gives a total different result - you have to wait to see it. Before i submitted the final result, i sketched different ideas. I want to share that illustration process here.

Designing a style for the opening of a new Unizo building

In July, i started with a rather big project for the opening of a new Unizo office in my neighborhood.

Valentine animation with CSS3

A few weeks ago, I finally had some time to read the green book "CSS3 for web designers" written by Dan Cederholm and published by A book apart (ISBN 978-0-9844425-2-2). The book explains what and how you can already implement CSS3 in websites starting today. I felt the urge to try some of Dan's fantastic examples (the code is explained with a complete webpage example) and to experiment a bit with the code inside the book.

Optimizing a corporate brochure for web

Lately, i've been working on print related projects. Designing Adobe © InDesign templates for posters and leaflets and brochures. One question that keeps returning from clients is: can you optimize this design for web use? Although I constantly explain the differences between print design and web design, the same question keeps coming back: but can't you do some optimizing, so that we can use this design on our webpage? Or: can we put this leaflet on our webpage?
