Veerle Pieters

An almost “classic”, well-known design, but still incredibly beautiful. Veerle makes use of a dark layout with quite colourful scheme. The result is impressive – and the position of site elements extremely well thought-out.

Extensive use of visual elements prevails; it might be a nice idea, but the content should prevail.

Probably not the most gorgeous layout ever made, but well-structured. The use of colors communicates the idea of the site.

Sometimes it is an interesting approach to use a “thin” layout, although it should rather be an exception.

Stylish, readable and clean. The site doesn’t look like blog at all – at least at the first glance.
