photo typo

it’s early days yet… but here’s a sneak preview of the new identity i am making for the ‘fotofestival naarden 2011’, this large open-air photo festival takes place in the small town of ‘naarden’ every two years and it’s nice to be making their identity this time… the typo treatment is based on the idea of the initial letters being photographed too, the font was made using a set of old plastic stencils i’ve had hanging on the studio wall for a few years now… (waiting for the right client… finally)

the theme this year is ‘dutch portrait photography’, with several really interesting names already booked… more news before christmas hopefully

a radish & some korean fella…

it was all over the net this week: hilarious blog with the ‘poison dwarf’ just… looking at things

the web works best, at times when it goes ‘wide’ and covers everything in a broad sense, then again it sometimes works even better when its goes narrow & deep, take a small subject and go right the way into it down on a narrow path… love it!
