I got tagged by *LIFEisMUSIC.

The rules:
1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. tags should write a journal of these facts
4. at the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged


1. Music means everything to me. If I have my music with me, I feel home very fast.
2. My band is also a very important thing in my life. It's my ideal way of combining music and learning
3. If I don't play music, I dance to it. Salsa is my favorite kind, I'm taking my third semester of lessons.
4. I have a weakness for design books and magazines. It really difficult to not buy anything when I see some of them
5. I still can't drive a car, don't know why...
6. Photography is my best way of communicating with the world. You can explain so much by one picture, the power is immense.
7. If I had the time and money, my first thing I would buy is a horse.
8. I hate bad food...

Now I tag:

Hope you like it!

I'm still busy with our official website. So it will be available soon.

I know I didn't post anything for the last few months, but I'm very very busy. I've got a lot of websites I'm working on, and have a lot of work for school. But I'll try to post asap

Greetz,
Cas

Woohoo! Today is my birthday
I'm finally 19, not that it's so different from being 18

The real party is probably next week, because this week I got to much work for my portfolio. It has to be finished this monday, and they informed us 2 weeks ago. If you then know that the portfolio will count around 100 pages, you get the idea
I'll probably put some designs in my scraps or perhaps in my gallery, so you can see how it looks.

Anyway, hope you guys have a nice holiday. Here in Belgium, today is the most pathetic day in the year, but for me, the best day

I'm off to work on my portfolio!
See you around,
Cas

I've been surfing a lot lately, in search of cool brands and design companies. Just to get a bit of inspiration, and because it interests me.
That way a found a few very cool sites like [link] , an amazing flash-site. I also found a great essay about the difference between a designer and an artist: [link] . Next up, I found an online magazine [link] . They have an amazing cool design, an they feature a few very cool photographers.
But the best thing I found, were design companies that are using art to support certain well-fair companies. You've probably heard about the Million Dollar Homepage [link] . Well, 6 people came up with the idea to do the same thing for charity, and this is the result: [link] . Another similar project is The Bridge: [link] . This one is sponsored by big companies like Adobe and Quicksilver who will donate money to charity for each mile added. Everyone can add a mile with their own piece of art.
I think it's becoming much more of a trend. Thanks to the internet, small artist can help well-fair companies by supporting projects like this, and they also get notified. A few years ago, design-companies were located in big cities, in the center of it all. Today, you can pretty much be everywhere. Projects like those last 2 are a beautiful example of the advantages that that brings us.
Hope you like it, and if your fingers tingle to make a piece of art for these projects: don't hesitate. It's good for you, for the world and for your karma.
