When I finished university, I had an idea to create a blog about design. In May 2006, I registered the domain, created a logo, and launched the website.
In the first version, I created every preview picture by hand. I opened Photoshop and made a collage of a few works from selected sites, then placed it in a black 3px frame.
From 2007 to 2008, Peopleofdesign had 3,500-5,000 viewers every day. The project was very popular, and I made 4-5 posts every day.
In 2009, Peopleofdesign moved to WordPress because it's a simple CMS. Since then, Peopleofdesign has been redesigned four times. The last redesign was in 2020.
In 2019, we partnered with SMEG, who wanted to place their ad on the background of Peopleofdesign for one year. After that, in 2020, we partnered with StadlerForm and placed an ad as well.
