Hello, my name is Jan
...and this is my personal website, visual playground and testing ground.
This website showcases some of the work that I have created in digital media...
In 2005, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering and have since then worked as a professional Web Designer...
Ain't this familiar? Tsk, tsk, tsk

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, I was flattered at some point but not anymore. The photo above is a link to a website that is a blatant rip of Dawghouse Design Studio. This person loved my design so much and was so "insipired" that he copied EVERYTHING- from my images down to my Google Analytics code! He even tried to lamely imitate the my navigation style! I found it out because visits to this site showed up on my logs!
Here are some of the sites which have featured Dawghouse Design Studio. A BIG thanks to all of you! If you think I missed out on one, do let me know :)
