the premsela design institute has just announced a new director to replace the man with a rather extravagant taste in knitted sweaters: ‘dingeman kuilman’, he will be followed up in january 2011 by ‘els van der plas’ currently director of the ‘prins claus fund’ and a client of mine… i wish them both good luck, now and then
it seems that twitter is due for a major overhaul in the coming weeks, now if they would only team up together with FB, linked-in etc… that would be really interesting
my personal track record for winning pitches is pretty terrible, so it’s with some surprise that i have just won my first one ever: the recently revamped amsterdam music theater (HMA) have commissioned me to make a new outdoor campaign (posters) and various collateral for the coming season, the first work should be ready later this autumn… congrats to me :)
the new logo and identity was made by ‘koeweiden postma’ last year and the new website early this year by ‘fabrique’
armand mevis in discussion with design.nl about their temporary stedelijk museum identity and posters (which i posted last week)
…mevis is adamant, however, that being asked to work on this project has absolutely nothing to do with the controversy surrounding the Stedelijk’s graphic identity “This is simply a project,” he says. “We were never approached to create the identity of the whole museum. People seem to think that, but it is not true. We were told from the start that this was just for the temporary opening and was not a commission to do anything for the future.”…
it seems to have become a highly controversial subject the new ‘stedelijk’ identity, although there are worse choices for the job than ‘mevis & van deursen’ or even ‘experimental jetset’ who made their previous temporary identity in the old ‘Post CS’ building, we shall see who finally gets the commission
the details for cut and paste 2010 tournament have just been announced, no amsterdam this year but plenty of other nice places are on offer…
