Avdibeg.dk - more than two decades ago

I am having this website for about twenty-one years. A few days ago I used Wayback Machine to check out previous versions of avdibeg.dk, and, boy, did it change. The earliest version they keep of my website is the one from November 22, 2002, and it looked something like this.

Avdibeg.dk - version 2.0

It shows several articles about some bands, family photos, and film reviews. It was truly a personal website seasoned with stuff I cared much about: music, films, literature, and books.

Around that time I worked as a graphic designer, and I was very much into design, and aesthetics. One of the website versions looked like this:

Focus on design

I complete forgot, but back then I actually created two fonts, and thanks to Wayback Machine I managed to recover them, so I will post them here for free download. Use them as you wish. Here's the website how it looked back then when I offered these fonts (also for free).

Later, we now jump forward to May 2010, and the website looked like this, much more minimalistic.

More minimalistic approach.

In October 2017 the design is still minimalistic, but now much darker.

A dark approach.

These were only some of the designs that I had on this website. I can't believe it has been so many years, but time truly flies. It's been a fascinating journey so far, and I am proud the website survived all these years. Let's see how far can we go...
