Talent is Hard Work
2007September 26
I read a great articel this morning about The nature of Talent.
Every day we deal with creativity and I agree with this article. Creativity is not a mystery it’s about being to the point, for every piece of work you do and for all the different ways on how to proceed to hit the target. It is not like “light breeze – idea flashes up – finished” it’s hard work ‘till you can see the finish line.
The really stimulation and fun part in the whole design process is to see how your ideas grow. And after a long way of working, rejecting and refining your work you can see the result. And at this point you should start smiling – enjoy the moment – take a deep breath – and head over to the next challenge ;)

fluxiom website update
2007September 12
fluxiom comes with an awesome interface and lots of UI effects. So, it’s logical that the fluxiom web site could use a little bit more visual eye candy, and we’ve worked hard to relaunch it in new glory.
First thing, we’ve reduced the start page to provide a nice and welcoming introduction to fluxiom:
Second, we added more details on the features page, including more and richer screenshots (try zooming in!). And sure enough some cool effects like our Rocket Columns on the features and the fluxUp! pages, when switching tabs.
The new fluxiom site features screenshots and images from Viennese photographer Christof Wagner, who allowed us to show off fluxiom by using his very own fluxiom account. A big thank you!
And, last but not least, we’ve added real-time searching on the fluxiom blog:
We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we do!
