What’s wrong with The New York Times homepage

I believe in love at first sight. I’m talking about websites by the way. The first impression you have when you visit a website is really important, at least to me. If I don’t like the way a website looks, I probably don’t visit it frequently. The design is important, but the layout perhaps even more so. If I don’t like it, I might be gone within ten seconds.

A car that teaches itself how to drive

I'm not really into cars and I don't know why. I love racing games and watching F1, but I have no idea how a car works. Now that cars are getting smarter, that might just change. Mercedes unveiled their beautiful concept car, that doesn't require a driver to get from one place to another at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. It's the most interesting car I've ever seen.

(concept) Instagram Experience, an Instagram app for tablets

As a hobby project, I made a concept for a tablet only (landscape) Instagram app. Please don’t mind the Nexus 10 tablet (which I didn’t make, but you can find it here), or the outdated Android version. I didn’t design this with a platform in mind, it’s just to show off the experience. The app icons I used (you can find them here) are outdated compared to the ones used in the official Instagram app. As you can see, there is no way to take a picture, because I think it’s not something you should do with a 10 inch tablet. This app is a showcase of all the great pictures on Instagram.

Dear Instagram, don’t become uncool

Dear Instagram

When Facebook bought you in 2012 for about 1 billion dollars I hoped they would leave you alone. Oh and they did, literally. You didn’t change that much over the past two years. You didn’t grow up, but the rest of the (mobile) world did.
