A while ago I designed a logo and branding for a real estate client and today I had the pleasure of seeing my designs come to live on Belgian TV as the client is part of a tv show.

There’s something special about seeing your designs being used in the real world.

Read my previous post? This is exactly what I meant when I said "Keep it fun & don't overthink it" 😆

No need to perfect it, after today you're probably never having a look at it again!

New Year's resolution idea for graphic designers: Make 3 random logos or illustrations per week to boost your creativity.
Keep it fun and don't overthink the design!

Why can't Shopify and Woocommerce just have the same CSV output 🙃

I know there's a tool for this, but seems like a waste of budget for this one time.

It’s funny how many “graphic designers” on #TikTok create logos/branding without any vision/mission/briefing behind it. At that point you’re proving you don’t know what you’re doing

For the first time in 1.5 years of running Makker, my creative agency, I went out visiting stores in my hometown to sell our services 😅

Was a little nervous at first, but it was totally awesome! Did sales before, but it's completely different if it's for yourself.

Seen a fair share of creative agencies using AI images for their #Meta advertisements 😵

As an expert in #marketing, you should set an example and show how to translate your #brandidentity into stunning visuals. These funky looking #AI images do quite the contrary!

Not even on BlueSky since 20 days and already at 1.000 followers! Insane 🤩 Goes to show that #BSKY is absolutely booming.

This official Jaguar rebranding focuses on selling fewer cars at higher prices 🤔

Their old logo was outdated, but this new one doesn’t represent a luxury car brand at all. Also, why drop the iconic jumping Jaguar? 🐆

This simplistic #rebranding #trend has caused more bad than good 😅

At some point #AI image generation will get to the level where you can’t distinguish it from real images. (Wow, shocker!) But I’m curious for what impact it will have on stock photo websites and creators. Especially if you will be able to use the image generators for free? 😅

Since decades, everyone loves these #Coca-Cola ads because they bring out nostalgic emotions and they're focused on a warm, human connection. AI is quite the opposite of that..

What were they thinking? 🤦‍♂️

Here's a quick showcase of a website I made for a premium car detailer in Belgium! 🚗

The video is also made by myself, experimenting more and more with #adobeaftereffects and having a blast.

This will get interesting! Here's (in a nutshell) what it means for us #marketeers:

The precision of your ads will be reduced significantly. There will be major restrictions on combining user data across platforms, meaning there will be very restricted #targeting.

Client/Boss: This #Apple design looks so great and professional. I want a design just like this!

Designer: Excited to make a clean design with lots of whitespace.

Client/Boss: Why is it so empty?? Can we add flashy colors and make it grab your attention??

Yep.

Was experimenting with #brutalism style designs recently after my very first watch-through of The Sopranos and this was the result!

After a whole day of working in Photoshop, what else to do than spend your free time in.. Photoshop?

What’s good BlueSky! Exciting to find a new platform with likeminded people. I’ll be sharing some projects, random thoughts, illustrations and more on here.

Who am I? A Belgian Creative Director with an endless passion for anything that involves #marketing, #branding, #graphicdesign, etc.

Kbye!
