Ohai! Didn't see you there. My name is Sebastian and I’m a designer/creative/geek. When not designing for web, I’m loving the web at all. And cats, of course. And coffee, of course.
THE ME
You gotta be someone. Someone who is responsive, fresh, up-to-date and even more. Someone like me. Definitely maybe.
THE DESIGN
Detached art and artistic appearance. Stylish and accurate. Always at the right heartbeat and two steps ahead. Go with the flow.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Impacts to ideas. Ideas to concepts. Concepts to emotions. Open minded for the fun on the process. One and zero. Zero zero one.
About
Who is this Guy?

What starts with a brush stroke, never ends. Pencils from HB to 9B are the source. Respect the paper, and love your Wacom. Colors and shapes forever.

Data - Structure. Technology and aesthetics go hand in hand. Output devices and mobile views that do not want to sacrifice any more. Open network open for people.

Social Media
The network is more than a marketing channel. I'm online since BTX and have seen nearly all the ups and downs on the net. The web, as the power center of life. From now until forever.
Sebastian Jansen
Geek
Yeah, well it's like cats, coffee, actionfigures, videogames, typographic, beer, basecaps, sneakers, clubmate, adobe software on apple devices and music and music and music.
Skills
Logo & Graphic Design
Because good design is more than a matter of taste. As Rams said: Good design is innovative and makes a product useful, is aesthetic and makes a product or a process understandable, is unobtrusive, is honest, is durable, is consistent to the last detail, is environmentally friendly and is as little design as possible!
Web & Interface Design
One Thing first: User behavior is never random! So, with the necessary experience and a pinch of intelligent aesthetics do you can offer information in a way that it is a pleasure to click through the UI. Only when the win-win situation between the user and the vendor is reached, we can call it a successful work.
Creative Concepts
As a creative person you try to tell stories with more than just words. There is no successful concept until you will reach the people from the head to their heart with your stories. Targeted and focused ideas that lead us to a common goal. Because only all parts of the creative process bunched together will get you to a effective result . The concept, the sum of its parts.
Web Development
The worldwideweb as the primary source of information and the center of life with all its challenges to modern technologies and to the users. Information plus structure plus meaningful placements and plus a bit of your own taste, of course. The user behavior in the flow of the human behavior, never stops, always one step forward.
3D Modeling
If 2D is extended to the third dimension. A complex process of planning and performance requires, but the result could be in the ideal case even more what reality can offer. Anything that can perceive the human eye in a further developed brilliance.
Video Editing
Moving images to tell stories that are brought to the point. Little to no interpretation spaces remain open. Sound and picture are a result in a second reality that not need not be explained. Frame by frame, track by track. Storytelling in pure form.
