Should Comment Forms Have More Fields?
Often, when you visit a website, you’ll want to leave a comment there. To do that, you’ll of course write some text in a comment form. But most comment forms, regardless of their design, look the same. Sure, some do add that hated captcha field, but still, most comment forms are the same.

Which Social Networks Are You Part Of?
Social networking has eventually become crucial for surviving (!), and it seems there are endless posibilities as to finding the right ones to be part of. For me, it all started with Facebook about two years ago. My friends tried to convince me to sign up, and I finally gave in. Since then, Facebook has developed in to a commercial monster, and I hardly log on anymore. But still, Facebook was where it begun. My interest in social networks has only grown since then, and I tell you, there is a cornucopia of social networks out there. But which ones should you be a part of? It is a jungle. I’d like to take you through the social networks I’m a part of, and also mention a few that I’ll never be a part of.

Great Designers to get Inspired by
When I first started out doing web design, and other types of design, I looked for people to get inspired by. I’m not only inspired by their graphical work, but also by their methods of working and acting on the Internet. I’ve tried to collect a list of people I get inspired by. These guys are amongst the greatest artists out there right now, so you should have a look at their work. For each person, I’ve collected some great interviews that I hope you’ll enjoy reading.

Finding Inspiration in Music
When I make websites, business cards, logos, when I walk, workout, or relax, I listen to music. Music has always had a massive impact on my life; I’ve listened to music since the day I was born. But different genres suits different purposes. I’d like to give you insight in which music I listen to, and find inspiration in. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry, shout, etc. It is also a great source of inspiration. Make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down in your couch, and turn up your stereo. Close your eyes, and soon you’ll find yourself creating images matching the music you listen to.
