Tech Noir

Tech Noir is an eighties-inspired restaurant and club in the city centre of Rotterdam. I was asked to do the design for their events, socials and menus. The designs are highly inspired by the typical design style that characterized the eighties. And with the grid in the design, I made a recognizable element that gave room to experiment with the style for each different event.

Alternative elections posters

A series of alternative posters for the dutch elections of ’21. Based on my personal opinion combined with forms of the (red) pencil that is used to vote during the elections. The left poster says ‘choose your own way’ and reflects on the amount of parties (36) to vote for.  The right poster ‘vote green’ calls to vote for a party that has a green future in mind.

This project is part of Algemene Beschouwingen

Liqueur Buddies

In a year where hugging and having a drink together with your buddies wasn’t possible, I came up with Liqueur Buddies. A moment to celebrate the new year. I developed these friendly bottles as a new year gift, so that people could have a drink together with their buddy during the lockdown and curfew.

 

Just cut the label, share one of the bottles (keep 1,5 meter distance) with your buddies and you’re set up for an evening of joy. The Liqueur Buddies were available in 3 flavors: speculaas (ginger bread), amaretto and limoncello. You can recognize the different flavors in the patterns that are worn by the Liqueur Buddies.

Mudshirt

Dutch summers are unpredictable and quite rainy from time to time. The Dutch love to complain about that fact. That’s why MUDSHIRT started silk- screen printing a T-shirt collection with local mud (which will survive the washing machine).

A T-SHIRT SILKSCREEN PRINTED WITH LOCAL MUD

The designs on the shirts are in collaboration with talented Dutch illustrators. That’s why MUDSHIRT is your typical Dutch souvenir. The shirts are silkscreen printed on demand and at the location with a mobile silkscreen shop inside of a cargo bike.

Reclame Ridders

ReclameRidders gives creative masterminds the possibility to share their vision on the advertising branch with the new generation. The goal is to challange young creatives to form their own vision.

What started as an alternative of a thesis grew to become an organisation which is organising events a couple times a year and writing opinion articles. I started ReclameRidders together with Martijn Lankveld and passed it over to a couple of young and eager students. Last year I did the design of the identity as well as the images which were used for the events.

Since the events are targeted on young talent, we used playmobil figures to illustrate our topics in a clean and graphical way.

A gay goodbye

Together with Cinerama and Martijn Lankveld, I organized another movie night. This time in honor of actor and professional joker Robin Williams. Not a mourning ceremony, but a celebration of his life. For this occasion we screened The Birdcage and a special guest, the founder of the official Robin Williams fanclub, reflected on Robin’s life and the story behind that characteristic smile of his. I was also responsible for the visual identy that was developed for the event. The portrait of Robin Williams is based on the two sides of the character he plays in the movie The Birdcage and resembles the two-sided life of the actor.
