Ok my site as been in the back-burner for the last year! Which is way too long.
I decided to change the structure of my site and make it easier to navigate and but keeping the same minimal aspects.

Expect to see the new site up in the next month. I’ve Been having some fun with jquery and Motion. Should be pleasant for the eye. Looking forward to see your comments!

Cheers!

New 5 Euro Dutch Coin

Here’s an awesome piece of design.

Text from Royal Dutch Mint:
“A new 5 euro commemorative coin pays tribute to the history of Dutch architecture. Both our historical architecture as well as our innovative conceptual architecture and modern design are popular across the globe.

Designer’s inspiration
The Architecture five-euro coin was designed by artist Stani Michiels (b. 1973). The design on the obverse of the coin pays tribute to the history of Dutch architecture, with the portrait of Queen Beatrix being distinctively constructed using the names of important architects from Dutch history. The artist used the internet as a popularity-meter to determine the names’ order of appearance.

The reverse of the Architecture five-euro coin draws attention to the striking fact that many Dutch architects have also included publishing books on architecture in their professional activities. To illustrate this phenomenon, recent books on architecture rise up from the sides of the coin like buildings. Through their careful placement they combine to outline the Netherlands, while birds’ silhouettes suggest the capitals of all the provinces.”

Black Book Design got a new design for 2009. A nice sober and clean look mixed with some interesting content. The design is focused on images in order to push the content forward. Some nice design and content will be added here and there on the site. Just like:
About me with some sweet flash action.
Panorama in Photo with some nice QTVR.

I’ll make sure more and more goodies get on the site too feast your eyes and imagination.
