Your design is so simple and elegant. ;)

Hey there! I browsed through your site and then the About sections and the Portfolio and wow, you’re something. I’m adding you to my rss list and keeping an eye on you. Have fun on your trips! :D

By the way, we share the same birthday, and not just the day, the whole nine yards.

You are truly an inspiration to me. I am a 3rd year graphic design student at a college in Canada and I came across your website when I was just browsing the web. After reading a few pages I thought to myself “wow, I would love to be doing what he’s doing”.
Currently I am designing a website for the police service here in my city and am looking into creating my own portfolio website and possibly doing some freelancing myself while still in school.
As I step into the freelance business, I was wondering if you would have any starter tips for me.

Brian,
Well Kristarella was pretty much right, it is the fashion here but it was kind of planned as well, as when that picture was taken we were all going to an all day festival which is kinda a given fact that you wear bright or ‘out there’ clothes. The fasion here is more like a metrosexual 80s theme atm. Interesting to say the least.

Lauren,
I am awaiting your blog redesign :P a mix of grunge and minimalism :P

Rafie,
There is lots to ponder!

Kelly, See what I wrote to Brian about the clothing. I never have really followed star signs but I will take what you said graciously :) Thanks. I just read your truck post as well, too bad for them.

Kelly — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 01:05:39 +0000

Jacob,

If Brian hadn’t already asked about the photo I was going to. Having lived through it once, I was a bit scared. Moreso to hear it’s not a theme thing…

Capricorns rock. (I’m a bit biased… 10 Jan.) It explains the elegant precision of your work!

Congrats on the front page of Digg. You are a man on the right track!

Regards,

Kelly

Heh, Brian that is typical for fashion in Australia at the moment… what more can I say? No “dressing up” there.

Rafie — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:29:39 +0000

Hi Jacob, same age huh? But I’m a bit older :P lol~ Anyway, best of luck in your career in this life. Ponder about the beauty of this world and you’ll find something magnificent. ;) Cheers~

My favorite type of design is definitely minimalism; I gravitate towards simple, elegant designs. I admire the complicated, grungy style if it is done well, but it's something I just can't seem to execute on my own! LaurenMarie - Creative Curio's last blog post..Printing Large Format?

Hey Jacob,

Cool post. The picture of your mates is pretty funny, I had no idea that Australia had reversed the clocks and gone back to the 1980′s!!??

Was there an 80′s theme party or something about to happen?!

I know the 80′s fashion sense has come back slightly into mainstream clothing, but that pic is crazy! :)

Enjoyed the post

Yes that is true, but there is Skiing here in Australia too if you didn’t know… many do not know that. And its quite good too… nothing compared to Canada or the Alps.

Ah, I guess your a fan of the Swedish ‘piratebay’ too if your into IRC and Kazaa :P

Woah that sensation looks pretty massive. Our scene here is nothing as massive as the Dutch or Germans – they absolutely love it! Here it is more of a sub-sub culture.

Anyway thanks for the tips :)

By: Johan

Johan — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:41:02 +0000

Hehe yeah the weather here is not great except the summer. But at least we can go and skiing at the winter :p

Nice to hear you had a good time here.

I have some Aussie friends since the old Kazaa days (when it was legal here in Sweden), we still hang out in IRC channels. They have been bugging me to come and visit Australia for a time now. Australia are #1 on my travel plans :) But as I study Interaction Design at the Uni travel plans must wait until I am finish.

I read above you like club music etc. I just saw that Sensation gonna visit Australia sometime this year. You cant miss it. Its an experience for life. Just a tip ;)

Hi Johan, the ever so common name over there :P

Yeah I loved Sweden, was the best year (so far) of my life over there. I met a lovely Swedish blonde on the 3rd day I was there who ended up being my girlfriend for the rest of the year. She is actually in Australia now for the year but we are only friends now due to travel distances.

I loved Sweden, everything about it – except the weather. I mean the summer was brilliant however I could never live in Sweden due to its Winter.

I went to Sweden on student exchange. I studied at ‘gymnasium’ (high school) and also worked. I also travelled around Europe throughout the year. I also made it to Stockholm but didn’t get a good chance to look around, only for a day. You going to come to Australia any time soon?

By: Johan

Johan — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:30:05 +0000

Hehe heey Mr Cass. Nice to know you ;)

I know you have been in Sweden (which where I come from, Stockholm). I wondering what did you do in Sweden. Something to do with your studying or just an vacation, visit friends?

And what did you think of Sweden :)?

Thanks Jeremy.

Vivien
Acting, hahaa no wayyy. Drama and acting and anything to do with music or that field were my most hated subjects at school. I can remember being given the first choice of any part I would like and I chose to be a non speaking extra. But thanks :P

Yeah, I have been saving over the past year to go on this trip… I am going camping the whole way so that’ll save a bit of dough. I will be doing it with a bunch of 30 other people via a program called Contiki. Each country will probably be 2 days and it will be by bus and backpack. I will be stopping in Hong Kong for 3 days on the way back too, so pretty excited.

Made me become a designer? It started when I started putting up photos on the web from my 1 mega pixel camera back when there was no facebook or myspace. Then it turned into doing invites for parties and then websites. When I was about 15 I knew I was going to become a designer. :) What made you get into design?

kristarella — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:00:35 +0000

I was wondering why you said you were from Sydney and went to Newcastle uni… either you were catching the train up there for classes (I live in Hornsby and go to UNSW, I wouldn’t mind cutting down travel time), or were at the Ourimbah campus or driving, which would be a lot of petrol… or splitting your living places (makes more sense).

Ha, and I think I recognise where that photo of you and your friends was taken. It’s so weird that you’re so near by.

Eh hem, anyways…
Enjoy planning and going on that trip!

I always enjoy learning more about the people that I find interesting, so thanks for another round of introduction to who-is-jacob-cass. Have you ever tried acting? You definitely have looks for that ;-)
Nice to see that you’re keeping up with your social life outside the Web.
Traveling to 14 countries in WE – wow, I’m a bit envy you for that – traveling is my all time passion. I just wish I had enough money for that. Would you be traveling there alone, with friends? How long would you spend in Europe visiting those countries? I guess you’d be traveling by train in Europe?

I’m not sure if you wrote about how did you get to be interested in design, what made you to decide to become a designer?

Well it is me, just a bit posed :P That shot was for our studio photography class – lighting does wonders :) I don’t know what I would classify as a good pic? Last time I checked I had about 20,000 pictures from the past 5 years – no joke! I always have my cam with me, but it is just a happy snaps one not a SLR.

Yeah that post did wonders for the blog. Every day I am getting about 300 page views from Google searches just to that one page and I received a lot of link backs to that page so Digg helped quite a bit :)

Design style? I don’t have a favourite, I try not to follow trends but I did go through the grunge stage myself but that is while I was learning (well I still am). What about you?

LaurenMarie - Creative Curio — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:47:24 +0000

This was fun! It’s always great to learn a little more about my favorite bloggers :) For some reason the picture at the top of this article looks very different to me than others I’ve seen of you. Would you say that’s a good pic? The first time I saw your photo, it reminded me of Heath Ledger.

Made the front page of Digg finally, eh? Congrats!

I’m sure there’s tons more to learn about you. Let’s see… what is your favorite design style? (minimal, grunge, trendy, etc)
