hello world!
Think Design Develop Create.
We're a small communication and multimedia design company focused on well balanced
commercial and artistic business representation for small to medium sized companies that are looking for a no-nonsense approach without
compromise in either the aesthetically attractive or the technically functional.
Welcome to our brand spanking new website. Be careful, the paint is still wet.
We're still very busy ironing out all the little kinks. So don't stress out if you see something just a little off.
We still have a ton of new stuff to upload. So be sure to check back often!
But we do very much appreciate any feedback you can give us if you see something wrong.
In the meantime, enjoy yourself on our brand new web site!
We are very excited, and hope you are too.
Announcements
Ordering pictures? This is how.
I've been keeping pretty busy lately as an event photographer.
I post most of my photos on flickr pro. Feel free to tag photo's or comment on them!
(You'll have to be a flickr user. But signing up is free, and rocks so hard that there is no excuse not to.)
How do you order them?
Send me an email
seti@thinkddc.com and tell me of the pictures you'd like to order. Including the names works best.
We have several payment options. (for instance, Paypal, or cash with pick-up. With pick-up, bring laptop or USB stick.)
You can also purchase high quality prints directly from the Qoop storefront!
What do you get?
All pictures will be post-processed if required or requested. (photoshop)
Images have a 6x4 proportion but can be printed up to 16x12. (8megapixels)
A quick commercial plug: If you liked the pictures, I'll be available for personal photo shoots for killer prices! Perfect as a gift for your boy/girlfriend, loved ones, personal photo book, portfolio, or just for the hell of it!
(Copyright applies. Images are for personal, non-commercial use only.)
Foto's Nabestellen? Zo dus!
Ik ben de laatste tijd druk bezig geweest als evenement fotograaf
Ik plaats het meeste van mijn werk op Flickr Pro.Laat gerust een berichtje achter!
(Hiervoor moet je wel een flickr gebruiker zijn. Maar dit is gratis, en zo vet dat er eigenlijk geen excuus is om je niet in te schrijven.)
Hoe bestel ik ze dan?
Stuur me gewoon een mailtje
seti@thinkddc.com en laat me weten welke fotos je wilt hebben. Foto nummer/titel bijvoegen is handig.
We hebben diverse betaal opties. (Paypal, overmaken of gewoon cash)
Je kan ook sommige afdrukken direct bij Qoop storefront bestellen!
En wat krijg ik dan?
Alle fotos worden nabewerkt als nodig of op verzoek. (photoshop)
Fotos hebben een 6x4 inch verhouding maar kunnen tot 16x12 afgedrukt worden. (8megapixels)
Een commerciele plug: Als je mijn werk wel wat vind, ik ben ook beschikbaar voor persoonlijke photoshoots voor zeer schappelijke prijzen. Een ideaal geschenk voor je vriend/vriendin (of je moeder), je persoonlijke fotoboek/portfolio. Of gewoon zomaar voor jezelf.!
(Copyright van toepassing. Fotos voor persoonlijk, non-commercieel gebruik.)

the dark mysteries of the online world
Web development has been, and perhaps always will be, a black art. Only without the potions and the steaming boiling pots.
We don't believe in "ready made" solutions. But instead in maintaining the integrity and identity of the client.
We listen to what you need for your business, event, project or. We take the time to get to know you and what you stand for. And make sure we can tailor your multimedia needs like a fine italian suit. (But without the italian price)
In the past we have done work for several small businesses, or participated in large corporation projects in the fields of; Communication and multimedia design, Travel, Education, IT, Horeca, Online and print media, Magazines, Fashion, Automotive and several charitable institutions.
Photography
As we're still working on this part of the website, here are some pretty pictures to keep you occupied.
In the near future you'll be able to order copies of our pictures.
I recently attended both the Alpha Omega Paddy doyle charity fundraiser and the Wilfrid Laurier University annual Charity ball. I took close to a thousand pictures, so it's going to take me some time to sort through the good ones, and put them online.
You'll be able to order copies of them either through me, or through the charity commission.
Pictures will be $2 each, and all profits will go to the charities of the respective events.
Be sure to check in. We'll also send out a message through the charity events facebook.

who i m
Think started as a one-man company in 2001, mainly as an outlet for my creative experiments. Over the years I've had the privilege to work with an abundance of very talented creative and technical artists. As well as work for, and with various inspiring companies. The concept behind Think, is to use the brainpower from several talented people to accomplish the task at hand, as there is nothing you can truly do alone.
In my spare time I'm deeply enfused into the car import tuner scene. I have ties with several major online communities, and recently picked up the Creative Director position at an online feature-based magazine.
proficiencies
I am a full time creative mind. And a part-time media designer. Part time photographer. Part time web developer. And somewhere in the spare time I'm finishing a BA in Communication and Multimedia design.
technical background
I have a technical background in research and development for several major European companies. Main focus being application programming interfaces,
and user interaction.
I use fancy stuff like XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, Ajax, DOM, PHP, MySQL and Action script AS.
media design
I specialize in user experience, usability and interface design. Other areas of expertise include content presentation, visitor behavior and media exposure. Concepting All these elements strongly influence the concepts I create. I strive for a well balanced, technically sound implementation. That is both aesthetically pleasing, yet functional. Getting your message across with beautifully and tastefully designed media statements. Without needlessly confusing your clients with obnoxious and gawky results.
photography
I am a passionate semi-professional photographer. My specialty is automotive photography. But I've also covered several organized events of various nature (sports, dance, racing)and charity fund raisers. I'm also available for amateur modeling (as photographer obviously) or personal photography.
tools
A painter is nothing without his brush. As media designers are without theirs.
Without these, I'd be helpless.
I thank my lucky stars for the Adobe Creative Suite.
Ask me anything
I'll have an answer. The plastic things at the end of your shoe laces are called aglets.
...for anything else you'll just have to call, email, fax, smoke signal or even send me a homing pigeon.
I mainly work out of Holland (That's in Europe, not in Michigan). But I've also done work in France, Belgium, the USA and Canada. Yeah, I get around like a party favor.
