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.

Layouts and elements from manuscripts

A good thing about spending too much hours on the web looking for inspiration, is that you find historical resources that shows us manuscripts that are absolutely stunning to watch at. Lately, i visited this new launched Belgian project: de bijbel van Anjou, an exhibition that showed a royal manuscript dated 1340 revealed. This bible is completely digitized and can be viewed online. This exhibition took place in Museum M in Leuven.

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?

5 questions I asked Veerle about Editorial Design

This year, I really liked the talk by Greg Wood on Editorial Design at EECI 2010. Greg Wood did a great job in showing and explaining what editorial design is and why it is important (his blog is an excellent example on the topic).
