Some weeks ago, i finished the logo for the StartUps.be project. You can read about the design process here.

Startups.be is a new initiative by several Belgian associations and the IBBT to support new startups. Giving support to new startups and helping them out finding needed services. The kick-off event is planned on the 19th of april 2012 in the Egg in Brussels and you can register here. You can read more about the Startups.be association on the IBBT website.

A while ago, a good friend of mine, who’s a ceramist, Françoise Busin, proposed to do a workshop together this summer. She has organized several ceramist workshops before in the south of France, a place for ceramists. She asked if i could give a drawing workshop and a watercolor painting workshop. Because I love drawing and painting i agreed to help with the program and the lectures of the workshop. We also invited, my sister Sarah to give a workshop on sewing and making clothes and accessories, she has made her own clothing & accessories label Hummingbird and Bumblebee - that is now active as B is for Bird. So in the end, we decided to make it an allround creative workshop. The place where the workshop will be held is Russeignies, a tiny little village in the french part of Belgium, near from where i live.

I found a drawing from some time ago and decided because of this cold weather we’re having here, i make a vector version of it.

I made them in a desktop version and a iPhone and iPad device:

In this little tutorial, i’ll guide you through the design process of a car design i made for a local company.
Because this company bought some cars, they wanted a design on the car that related to the website and to the companies “corporate identity”.
So, i made a design in Illustrator based on the logo with a gradient in it and some other repeating elements. Starting from this artwork, i searched for the right car model and downloaded the vector file.

Bene wishes you a joyful 2012!

Some months ago, i got the opportunity to do a redesign of a web site for Plan & Bouw, a plan and real estate company in the area.

Some months ago, i got the opportunity to design a web site for software to protect children’s cell phones.  Tjekkid (pronounced “Check It”), is software that protects children so they can’t send too many text messages, browse inappropriate web sites or call too much. The mobile software can be controlled by the parents.

Bene is taking a break from december 24th until 3 january 2011.
We wish you all the best for the coming year. Have a great christmas too.

Zalig kerstfeest en gelukkig nieuwjaar!
