two new posters for the ‘sugar factory’ just completed this week: a fluffy line-up poster made with bits of old felt

and one for the upcoming ‘ADE’ dance event in amsterdam, restrictions were using their black / yellow identity colours plus a series bright primary rainbow colours for the type, a tough brief…

i chose to make the type mostly black and use the colours as part of the backdrop instead; to ‘calm the chaos down’ a bit, i think it helped… it’s nice to be making the ‘sugar’ poster series grow, diversify and the idea behind the new identity starting to work as i intended

the first two posters for the new season of the dutch national ballet a regular one and a large format billboard version:
celebrated choreographer ‘hans van manen’ 80 this year

the portrait was shot by mister ‘ruud baan’ and we created a collage of hans’ long career, using old archive images from their enormous photo collection… the theme we chose for this years poster series is ‘jump’ and all of the posters will feature a jump in some form or other, in this particular case the ‘jump’ is hidden in amongst the small images
