theater poster awards 2011- 2013

hnb_corps_straat_sept13

the dutch theater poster awards disappeared last year due to cuts, but luckily they have been revived this year with the support of local printers mart spruijt, which is great news

even better news is that we have been nominated for the 2012-2013 edition with the ‘corps’ poster for the dutch national ballet (one of the very last ones) made with ‘erwin olaf’ earlier this year (shown above)

they have in fact decided to award two prizes together: one for this season 2012-2013 but also for the missing 2011-2012 season…

the bad news is that the competition is pretty stiff this year… with some very strong work around me competing for the prize

in fact if i were in the jury the ‘oedipus’ series (from 75B) would definitely be the winners, we shall see… a list of all nominees can be seen here

eindhoven

eindoven_identity

the city of eindhoven is keen on being seen as the epicentre of ‘design’ in the netherlands and has recently launched an open source identity created by a conglomerate of designers and specialists, i must admit i actually quite like it so far… (even though i did make references to charlie browns sweater when i first saw it on a blog)

see also the recent article in creative review about the project

vintage movement

my mate mister ‘calango’ took the 40-year-old nederland 1 broadcasting logo and animated it, instantly bringing it right up-to-date… nice…
