Ich lese gerade einen Artikel in der Frankfurter Rundschau über die Tatsache, dass der hessische Energieversorger HSE ein neues Logo bekommen hat, das es schon gab. Auch der Slogan „Das Ganze sehen“ war bereits vergeben. Interessant, dass es auch einer so renommierten Agentur wie Jung von Matt passieren kann, eben nicht „Das Ganze“ zu sehen…

When I confronted my course Presenting Content this semester with the basics of HTML and CSS, they and I had a couple of frustrating sessions. I’m doing this for some semesters now and never had quite such an experience. I was thinking: Am I this bad a teacher to not get the stuff across (it’s not that hard, after all) or did I hint at Weebly.com too early and most of the classes just switched off as early as this?

Do you still need a t-shirt for the summer? Did you see the new item in the main menu up above? Yes, indeed, I finally did it. I created my own Spreadshirt shop and although there is are only one two designs available so far (two some more will follow) you might be interested in having a look.

If you are a Firefox user, or more so, a Firefox aficionado like I am, using Firefox since it’s first betas, you might have realized the interesting new Personas addon, which gives you thousands of different skins for your browser windows.
Why is it, I ask myself, that almost all of them are designed in such a way that it is almost impossible to read the toolbar?

Hey, a couple of things happened here. Yes, it’s the all new layout and design of my website. Plus: Dorky Design is somewhat dead and I will be working as a freelance designer in my own name.
Comments (especially nice ones) are very much appreciated.
(Oh my, now I know a lot more about WordPress than I did before 
)

Ob man die beiden als Mädchennamen benutzen darf? Wahrscheinlich nicht… Egal, will ich sowieso nicht machen, die Überschrift habe ich aus einem anderen Grund gewählt: Ikea hat einen neuen Katalog herausgegeben und alles ist in Verdana gesetzt. Früher war’s eine angepasste Version der Futura. Noch mal zum Vergleichen (ich hab einfach die Futura genommen, die ich auf der Platte habe, wahrscheinlich stimmt’s nicht 100%ig):
Verdana vs Futura

I received an e-mail today that I participated in a poll at the beginning of this year. No, not what you think. It wasn’t spam, I really participated. I would like to recommend that you take a look at its outcome. It is called “Nen Rolli hatte ich noch nie” and is a Zwischenprüfungsprojekt by Alex Ketzer (I’ve forgotten from which university). There are some web design issues concerning the web site, but the book looks really great.

My friend Astrid told me about a sweet little shop run by her and a friend in which they sell some of their stuff. If you’re into nice and simple illustrations with a funny twist or warm scarves which look like a fox or rabbit, then this is for you.
Oh, the shop is called “Sonst noch was?“. Check out the blog, too.

One of my favorite all-around-design-agency has updated: Pfadfinderei. If this isn’t worth a blog post, then what is…?

Ok, so you like to use paint on your wall but your landlord won’t let you? Why not mess up the wall of some BBC studio? Enter Blast Studio…
