HF 15

hf_thonik_15

the new identity for the holland festival is currently all over town, made by thonik

hf_thonik_15_2

a big departure from the former identity by maureen mooren (enter holland festival in me search to see some of the former years) and a nod to HF in earlier decades; with a retro feel to the stencil font and colour schemes used

i feel that this work wouldn’t have looked out-of-place in the 1960’s or 1970’s on the streets of amsterdam, this is necessarily meant as criticism as i’m still undecided whether this is a good or bad thing…

no pain, no gain

volkskrant_cover_me_lukas

my first gig ever as cover model for a magazine and it has been rejected… the image was shot by talented man ‘lukas göbel’ for a volkskrant magazine article on domestic abuse (but then by wives who beat their husbands, yes… it happens) but was deemed ‘too heavy’ by the editorial team, so sadly i’ll have to go back to being a designer i guess…
