Golden Treasure

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Searching through my works to post up on this website I stumbled upon the cover I designed a few years ago for the first EP by the Golden Receivers! I am still really proud of my very first, mass produced album cover. The band are friends of mine and I am glad they came to me for the design. They are now working on a third EP which should be released very soon. I already listened to the songs and they are completely different, but in a very good way (for the connoiseurs; more in the direction of ‘Explosions in the Sky‘). Longer songs with more dynamics and less vocals. Click below to go directly to the page or navigate your way through the menu above.

PS: I also added some package shots to the Travelogue “Ich Hab’s”. You can now check out the complete movie and view the box it comes in.

Working class hero

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Jeez, building this portfolio takes a lot more time then I thought. Currently I am bussy exporting and uploading various movies onto my YouTube account. If there is one thing I learned during my study, it is that exporting or rendering movies always takes you thrice the time you thought it would. Something goes wrong, codec isn’t right, sound is screwed up, images is distorted… I should just stick to photography and graphic work I guess, hehe. Despite all those trouble I hereby declare the Video & Animation section opened! You can now see my first flipbook, the big ass Travelogue I did together with a fellow student and a preview of the pMp Lab #0708 rehearsels:

If you take a good look you can even spot Miss Montreal in the dressing room! Ow, hell, she is already in the preview picture I see now.

And in the category manual labor: I am so glad I found back this tutorial on book making: The Basic Binding of Books by Jamier Butler. Go read it and go do it!

Design Proces – Rooswinkel financiële diensten

Building proces

My latest assignment for a corporate identity was for Marloes Rooswinkel. She was going to start her own business with financial services. She will be providing people with insurance, loans and pensions.  This post will explain the design proces I followed with her and ending the whole story with some conclusions. This really worked well!

Marloes Rooswinkel and I had a first meeting in which we discussed the following 5 keywords:

  • Brand – User experience
  • Customer – Transmitter
  • User – Receiver
  • Information – Content
  • Design

Customer and User communicate with each other and the Information and Design are your restrictions or boundaries.

First, I had no knowledge of the types of services she offers. This will often occur and as a designer you have to dive in to it to some extent. To get  more feeling with the design, but also to understand the customer or the user of the product (in this case the website). (more…)

Update in Photography

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

11Took some time, but the first three galleries are online in my Photography section. Skipping through all those pictures makes me want to get bussy with it again.

Especially the pinhole photo’s. I might have an exposition coming up that might require some pinhole photo’s. I’ll see to that anyway, because man do I love the images that roll out of there. I think it really fit’s the expo’s theme… I can’t say too much about it because not everything is sure, yet.

It will be an expo with my girlfriend, that’s for sure. And it’ll probably be in Enschede too…maybe in the Dynamo?

Graphic section updated

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Well, the title says it all. The Graphic section of my portfolio has had it’s first update. Projects that were added are all some older school related projects, but nonetheless worth checking out.

At the moment I am also bussy getting the Photography section up, but that takes a bit more time, because I have a lot of photo’s I have to sort through and there also a lot of new pictures that never went online anywhere. Bare with me, please.

The picture on the right was made for an exhibition in my former art school we called 99,8% Art. More pictures will be posted in the graphic section later on too. Together with three fellow students Matthias Grottendieck, Philipp Giesseler and Thijs Steggink we made a series of super large pictures build up like a normal raster image.

Instead of printing it with a printer, or any other conventionel method we used spraycans in the colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Using a beamer, a laptop and some Photoshop we reproduced (famous) images. If you cannot recocknize the picture that is reproduced here, then take a look at it’s original version. Apart from these rasterized images we made some really psychedelic ones with text, mor about that later on!
