Realistic Text
May 26, 2015
Another crazy experiment: Creating realistic looking text in CSS. Hard to believe that it’s fully rendered in browser and not photographed.

Apple, one home page after the other

When we think about what might go wrong, we’re more likely to design something that goes right.

Dan Mall on Pricing
May 4, 2015Dan Mall with some advice on pricing as a freelancer. Especially useful if you’re just starting out. The best advice one could give you is probably “Experiment as much as you can”. I’m working freelance since about four years now, and i’m still experimenting with and adjusting my pricing on pretty much every new job i take on.
For your first paying gig, do what everybody else does: pick an hourly rate. There’s no wrong rate the first time; pick a number out of thin air. (Hint: that’s how everyone does it.)
Your rates will be too low at the beginning, thats pretty much for sure. But eventually you will get better at estimating and more confident at selling.
Tesla Energy
May 3, 2015This is the most exciting Keynote i saw in a very long time. If you release something and feel the need to call your product “revolutionary“, “game changing” or any other superlatives (yes, Apple, i’m looking at you!), please go stand in the corner watch this keynote again and think about what you just said.
I just read that a professor at the ETH in Zurich calculated that for the first time in history, solar energy will be cheaper than electricity from the grid, thanks to those Tesla batteries.
Edge
April 30, 2015Marcel Wichmann (UARRR) about the Icon for Microsoft’s new Edge Browser and why he thinks that it is a good idea. I couldn’t agree more.
I think it’s a good choice and many young, hip internet people forget about the millions and millions of people using Windows. That’s obviously not us, it’s our parents, people in offices, people that don’t care for technology. Those people double-click on a small blue “e” everyday to log into their hotmail e-mail accounts to see pictures of children, funny PowerPoint presentations and delete their 200 spam mails, because they don’t know there’s another way of living online.
Redsgned
April 27, 2015I know i know. Unsolicited redesign concepts have been reason for many discussions. Some like them, some hate them and Dribbble is full of them. I for my part think it can be a fun exercise to do and also a good source of inspiration for others.
Redsgned is a website showcasing the very best redesigns they find across the web, from web designs, branding, app designs, UI/GUI and product design.
