Bene

Last week, Tim and I went to the first european Expression Engine and CodeIgniter conference, held in Leiden, Netherlands. The conference was held at the Scheltema complex and organised by Whoooz! webmedia from Leiden, they did an excellent job! It was the first time we had the chance to meet with the EllisLab community. As a webdesigner myself, i was very anxious to meet with and listen to the speakers and attendees.

The previous months and weeks, I’ve been busy with some projects for both web and print. The print projects have my full attention at the moment and so I wanted to share some of the things I’m making for a client. Because I cannot share the name of the client, i have replaced the logo with my own, hope you don’t mind. I’m going to show how I did the style guide for this project. A style guide can be a really helpful guide. For me, it is an anchor point to refer to when I’m busy designing for the same client. It helps me focus on the colors, the style, the elements that are important when building an identity for print and web. I designed this style guide with Adobe InDesign.

A new wallpaper for the month of July 2009 is available for download.

I made them in 2 different options: with a calendar for July 2009 and without calendar.

Tomorrow, it’s Valentine’s day. I made a wallpaper for you to download, so go ahead and have a happy Valentine day!

Today was a big day for BeneMailer.  Our mailmarketing tool has been upgraded and brought back to live this morning.  A short overview of new features you might find very useful

Time to change your desktop wallpaper! Smashing Magazine shows 55 free December desktop wallpapers and mine is featured too.

A few weeks ago, we launched our new Bene website. The website was made using Expression Engine as the content management system. We hope to finish the dutch version within a few months, but for now, everything is written in english. Our website has made it in a few showcase galleries. We like to share the list with you.

We are glad to announce you the new version of our website.  It has took us quite a while to complete due to numerous other projects for our clients that of course take priority.  That said we’re are very glad it is finally there and we hope you enjoy it too!

In januari 2008 Comscore, an American Market Researcher, counted more than 824 million surfers (older than 15 years) worldwide.  Compared to januari 2007 this is an increase by 10.4 percent.

I published a website for Hans De Pelsmacker, Belgian designer. His portfolio is illustrated with a lot of photos to get the best impressions of his work. You can view the website at: www.hansdepelsmacker.be. A complete set of photographs of his work can be seen at: Flickr
