Psyke.org

History

Main Site

Take a trip in the time machine to see how Psyke looked in some of its previous incarnations (or use the WayBackMachine):

1998, June

The first version of Psyke. This was back when popups and black backgrounds where all the rage. At this point, Psyke was still part of my personal homepage and only consisted of a few links.

Take Me Back – complete site.

2000, March

This is the first proper version of Psyke. It was made to be usable on small monitors, but it still looks, I think. This version of Psyke was the first to include forums. I used the classic WebBBS script, which turned out to behave spectacularly bad under pressure – it crashed the server on numerous occasions.

Take Me Back – complete site.

2000, September

What could have been the Jakob Nielsen edition of Psyke.org.

2000, November

A variation on the March 2000 version.

2001, October

I revamped Psyke to conform to current web standards. Obviously, I didn’t spend too much time on the graphical side of the update.

Take Me Back – complete site.

2002, April

Trying out a three-column layout and a new logotype.

2002, July

New logotype, new layout. For some reason I chose not to publish this version. Probably because it didn’t look just right.

Take Me Back – complete site.

2002, October

Same logotype, new cleaner layout. Still didn’t feel it looked good enough to be published.

Take Me Back – complete site.

2004, April

Minor changes to the current layout. Never used on the public site.

Other Projects

Human Jewelry Zine

I toyed with the idea of publishing some of the content from Psyke.org as a zine. The first pages from the first issue are available in PDF (179 kB).

Psyke Book

This was my first try at making a printed version of the site. It doesn’t look as stylish as the current version. The first pages are available in PDF (26 kB).
