Creating an Image System Equally Suitable for 3 Continents

Recently I’ve been given an interesting challenge that includes creating a complex user interface that should work well for people not familiar with computers [read: Windows] at all. Not only should it work with computer “illiterates” - It should work equally well on three very different continents.
Take India for instance. If you need to take […]

Two Things That Suck About XBOX 360

Ok, no, make that three things.
I don’t get it. How is it even possible to make a machine that emits so much heat and noise and deem it safe for indoor home use? You get a headache and take a lethal chance of burning down your house just after playing for half an hour.

Fun facts from the tour:

High-Gloss Design Countermovement Anyone?

Since I don’t know when the *thing* for especially web design has been glossy plastic rendering and reflections, Apple style. Every new site that launches these days, every old site that gets a 2.0 re-hash seems to be draped with plastigloss.
Why has this thing grown into the only thing? Why insist on this sterile […]

Clear Slate

Once in a while you need a fresh start in life. In many ways I think I need one now. This is why I have decided to abandon the content that was “lost” in the crash of PeterGrafik.dk and make a new beginning of Kulturprodukt.net.

Migrating from Petergrafik.dk

What has been my site since 1998 has been down for almost a month now. In a way it’s ok. That old domain and me have been growing increasingly apart over the last year or so. Now it’s time to move on and make some changes to my “Internet presence”.
I haven’t really decided yet if […]
