50 years opened

here is a brief impression of the opening last sunday of the exhibition ’50 years of posters’ for the dutch national ballet at the dutch poster museum in hoorn

my friends from ‘fontanel’ also posted a short article on the expo yesterday (dutch only) and sorry for the crappy images, due to the spots hanging everywhere it was almost impossible to make a decent image in the building…

12 weeks

my intern ‘joris’ has decided to impose a brief for himself during his internship: ‘create a poster for each week that reflects that week’

as we tend to spend a lot of time listening to electronic music during the daytime, this obviously seems to be playing a large role in his subject matter so far…

i’m looking forward to seeing the complete set progress, have a peak yourself at the latest batch right here, we will be printing the whole series out (large scale) before he leaves ‘me’ at the end of march…

creative swan

the phrase ‘imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery’ seems highly appropriate for this image:
the dutch national ballet recently received the above poster made for a school arts project: seventeen-year-old ‘roos oerlemans’ made an homage to our recent ‘swan lake’ poster, she recreated the ‘swan’ costume at home, did her own make up, shot the image and put the poster together all by herself, nice work roos! looks like i am out of a job soon then… (many thanks to ‘sandra eikelenboom’ for the tip)
