Pixelblast blasting again
March 4, 2010
My other website Pixelblast is up again. This time I tried to keep it as simple as the design of this blog. If you want to hire me or have any questions, just hop over to the site and drop me a line.
After weeks of designing, re-designing, and doing it all over again, I think Pixelblast is where it should have been when launching the website. This time the simplicity preached was also practiced.
Readability, just a bookmark away

Some sites actually do try to provide you with legible and easy to read content—it’s the equivalent of a restaurant trying to make their food delicious.
Unfortunately websites with messy layout survive for the same reason that there is MacDonald’s: offer something even less enjoyable, but timely and conveniently. Thusly typography of many news sites comes closer to an emetic than delicious food.
User Experience Extase

Ich bin schon lange unzufrieden mit meinem corega router (ja, der heißt so, vielleicht ist das Gerät deshalb senil…), so habe ich mich flugs zum Impulskauf eines Airport Express verleiten lassen. Und hier hat mir Apple ganz unerwartet gezeigt, wie selbst etwas profanes wie ein Router zum Erlebnis werden kann.
Couch-Potato Design

If you are to put up a sign, it should be a given to first and foremost check the location and take a good look at the local conditions. In this example it is pretty clear, that whoever made this sign did it exclusively sitting in front of his/her computer screen. So every day I climb these stairs I see people bumping into each other, and it’s all the designer’s fault…
I'm German, and I hate beer

So there. It’s out. Maybe that’s another reason I left the country considered to be the epitome of beer. Now, don’t you even try to “convert” me: I’ve tried them all. English Ale (lukewarm), German Pils and Export, the good ones (Tannenzäpfle, Bocksbier, Meisel’s Hefeweizen etc.), and the watery ones (bud, Löwenbräu, Bitburger etc.). They all smell and taste like something that was made to make you want to throw up immediately.
