Today I want to talk about a film which I have seen recently and which has touched me deeply. I am talking about BARAKA by Ron Fricke, which was released in 1992. Baraka is a non-verbal film, so totally dialogue-free. Additionally, it doesn't have any actors, a plot, or a script. The focus is on the images and the music. Filmed
2011 is slowly coming to an end and we would like to take this opportunity to wish our blog readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We know that some of you might not celebrate Christmas, but we want to wish you a wonderful time, too, because we just cannot let this time of year go unnoticed ;) Appropriate to the occasion Judith included a small clip,
Last Friday I caught my first night train bound for Dresden. After 8 ½ hours in a cell-like waggon cabin and very little sleep, my family and I arrived bleary-eyed at the Dresden Main Station. Catching a tram, we rather quickly located our hotel, dumped our luggage, indulged in a cup of black milk coffee and were ready to start exploring just as the lazy winter sun peaked
I don’t believe that there is one right way on how you should approach writing. Like your choice in reading material, your style in writing will depend on personal preferences, habits and interests. As an artistic skill, writing is a form of personal expression which cannot be defined by a clear set of rules. However, when you
After Vivienne has presented two awesome internet platforms in her previous posts, it is now my turn to show you another website where you can unleash your creativity and explore the vastness of fonts, sizes, colours and much more to pimp up your PowerPoint presentations. But be aware – only try it if you have time, and I do mean a lot of
I tend to seldom leave well enough alone when it comes to pictures shot for posters or flyers. I usually like to either crop, polarize or animate them. Since working with a graphics program normally entails defining the layout measurements and work area before you can get started, I like to take a short-cut via another useful, internet platform: www.lunapic.com.

As an ardent Science Fiction fan, I enjoy watching great SF films as well as reading thrilling SF stories. Among my favourite films and books are Star Wars (Ep. IV-VI), The Matrix (Part 1) or Tron (the 1982 film), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert's Dune and Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. There are certainly more
Usually when I sit down to create a digital design I already have a pretty clear idea in mind. The thing that is most important for me whether I’m designing an icon or a blog template is coherence. I like it when the template reflects a certain character. That’s also why I am at times obsessed with details like which font I choose. Consequently, I tend to be disappointed
…there were words which had to be put together by two quirky mid-twenties who ventured into the fantastic world of blog writing. Since we are new to this, we decided to do our first blog entry together and realised that beyond laughter we were just lost for words. What a predicament! Anyway, we figured our best shot at getting this blog off to a good start is by shortly introducing
Judith has a great passion for photography. Where I have an inborn antennae for every last crumbling castle, she has a great eye for colour and light composition. I love the vibrancy of her pictures which will now be showcased in our blog slideshow. As the seasons turn, you will be presented with the best picks from Judith's amazing photography archive. We would love to hear
After hitting some dead ends, we managed to wind our way through the template jungle. Fighting our way through a myriad of coded sign posts, we arrived at our own personalised blog template. The wisdom we picked up on the way will come in handy one day - hopefully! Otherwise we will find ourselves in another labyrinth...but we have never been the ones to shun adventures
