the ‘melkweg’ club in amsterdam has just launched a new identity created by bas koopmans and agency grrr, not seen much of it yet except their website and this mysterious poster hanging around town
several weeks back (20th sept.) i was invited to do a short presentation as a guest of bno utrecht, a fun gathering which was held at the wonderful (but soon to be defunct) gallery and creative workspace of kapitaal in utrecht
i shared the evening together with my friends from studio mals and passionate type designer peter bilak, we each had 30 minutes to do our ‘thing’ and there were inspiring words to be heard from both parties
i was allowed to finish up with a (ridiculous) presentation; attempting (against the organisers’ advice) to present 300 slides in max. 30 minutes, eventually coming in under the allocated time by at least 10 minutes! but judging by the reactions, i managed at the very least… to entertain the crowd
once again, thanks for the (i was honoured) invitation, delicious meal and fun evening! see you all again soon i hope…
