DTP work
Part of my volunteerwork at the local youthcenter was doing the layout of a magazine that was
published periodically, I also got to design some of the posters of performing bands.
The magazine, called "popinie", was an experiment which has stopped in the meantime
unfortunately. Although there were numerous issues published, I could only find one
coverscan in my archives. So here it is, the cover of Popinie:

Websites
As a websitebuilder you do not always have the luxury of a good designer.
I have built some complete websites for people of which I am pretty proud of the way they
look though. Here are some examples:
yankee online is what I'm working on right now (2006).
It is going to be a fully fledged e-commerce store. It has some very advanced management-tools,
which originate from the babezone site I'm also working on right now. It is possible to
add/edit/delete products, random pages and orders.
One of the latest websites I made is the site for Kill.Caress,
a band of some good friends. The design was done together with Bassplayer Tim. Tim is a
designer by education, and I think the site works out really well.
For this site, I even dabbled in Macromedia Flash, a piece of software I usually avoid like
a plague.
This was the site for the local Tavenu youthcenter, which had an
updatable agenda, some updateable pages and a photobook.
Since it was made, the Youthcenter decided to let the site be redesigned. Not really an
improvement if you ask me, but tastes differ, I guess.
The site for the tourist information office in my hometown was
designed together with Tjarko, long-time friend, ex-colleague and babezone partner. The site
was designed and built in 1999, under the name "fullcircle", which Tjarko and I used back
then. I think it withstood the test of time quite well, for such an old site it doesn't seem
very aged.
One of the few things I did 'design' for www.babezone.org is the
shop. Not very spectacular, but I think it fits nicely in Grad's design of the site. At the
moment of writing I haven't finished builing the babezone shop, but maybe by the time you read
this it will be done. If that is the case it can be found here.
