podium

here is the first part of one of my most recent projects: ‘podium’ which is a gift card system for the performing arts: theater, concerts and festivals… pretty much all endangered arts species in the the netherlands right now

the logo is a restyle of an exsisting one and the typographical illustrations were my solution to the clients request to make a style that didn’t focus specifically on a young or an old target audience… more work to follow in the coming months, we will be making a website and various other material during the summer

the launch poster (shown above in the middle with a ?) should be appearing around the country in the coming weeks

musical chairs

it’s been quite hectic in the past few weeks, lots of projects, jury duty and trips out of town, plus moving to a new studio last week and finally saying goodbye to pollie who finished her internship, it certainly won’t be the last we see of her, thanks for the laughs we had pollie it was fun, see you soon…

the new address is well… exactly the same as the old one except on the other side of the same corridor… and for those who find it confusing the address shown in the left hand column here above that is the other studio (and my home) but for visitors this is the info you need:

me studio
vijzelstraat 72
4th floor room 4.13
1017 HL amsterdam

pottermore

…prior to the announcement, our youtube announcement page is the most subscribed channel of all time in the UK and 4th largest in the world of all time… the YouTube channel had 3.4million views across the tease phase in a week and over 2 million views in the first 5 days since launch together with global news coverage, featuring on stations such as ITV, ABC, CNN and leading European news channels…

my friends from london-based studio andersen m got in touch to share their beautiful new stop-motion work for the recently launched harry potter online portal ‘pottermore’, as usual immaculately executed and a fitting style for the subject matter

see an online launch film with their handcrafted paper animation here complete with a rather grumpy looking ‘jk rowling’…
