A calendar designed with a pixel-based typeface, which is used for both the dates and as the foundation for the month names. Typographical experiments are incorporated to give each month its own unique character and visual identity. These adjustments ensure that every month stands out with a distinct appearance.
2According to the mathematical Graph Theory, an object is made up of a set of connection points and lines which can be used to make multiple interpretations of itself. A Network of Dots and Lines uses this theory to reconstruct letters from their original shape into an alternative form. By identifying their common traits they can be traced back to their original letterform. This work shows five possible typefaces generated from this system.
3Identity for the Graphic Design Graduation show 2022. The identity is resembling the proces of moving from point A to B, just like in a learning proces, where point A & B can be variables. This project contained a graduation catalogue showing the process of the student projects, exhibition design, website and merchandise. In collaboration with Joanne van der Wal, Xiaoyuan Gao, Britt Schmitz, Tofe Al-Obaidi.
4These animated typographical experiments that are built from small, interconnected systems. By moving certain shapes and elements within these systems, new and unique letterforms are generated. The impact of repetition and variation leads to the transformation of familiar characters into dynamic, evolving structures.
5This publication shows the projects of several artists working in ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo in the summer of 2022 within an artistic field programme, Machine Wilderness, initiated by Theun Karelse. The book is divided into two types of content. The first part are essays, which are kept simple in their layout. The second part exists out of text and imagery about the residents and their work. This is visualised in a more playful/experimental and colourful manner to show their projects in process.
6Developing an image plan and photographing material scenery of the PET Felt panels sold by ReFelt, focusing on accurately capturing their colour range and texture. Created various concepts to make the panels appear more spacious, even at a small scale, while presenting the product in a visually engaging and playful way.
7A bilingual book about Generic Cities. Its design is based on the annoyance of footnotes and the change and speed of cities. The footnotes move through the book and crossover languages. Therefore the footnotes and images both make both languages still interact with each other. The book has two front covers, on one side you find the Dutch version and when you flip the book you find the English version.
8A research project into some neighbourhoods in the Netherlands. A white chair is an object that reoccurs in these places. I composed these sculptures with the chairs by stacking them in several ways. The sculptures became postcards to represent the neighbourhoods.
9The text I redesigned was about a math formula which the writer explained in 99 ways. Every variation has its own composition, matching its theme. The text overall I approached as a formula and its letters as numbers which I could subtract. The letters that were removed add up on the last page. This section of 16 pages is part of a collaborative book with all the second-year students of 2020 Graphic Design ArtEZ.
10Animation of 5 Fluxus event scores. The beginning stage of the scores is the same as the ending stage, so nothing actually happens. By moving all these loose characters in this ASCII typeface, an animation originates. The end and beginning frame of the animation are very similar or even completely the same. It is about what happens in the time in between.
