Chocolate wrapper | Coffee etc.

This chocolate bar is closely linked to the city of Dordrecht. It is made with sheeps milk relating to an old story that people from Dordrecht are also called 'schapenkoppen' (sheep heads). The wrapper is decorated with typical elements from the city of Dordrecht. Its' colour red is combined with the colours of Coffee etc. and a rich chocolaty brown to form a tasty packaging.

Identity | Ontrack

Ontrack is about combining two different components: music and video productions as well as cultural and corporate clients. The logo plays with this fact. Two sections form a stylized 'O'. The yellow pattern based on the logo visualizes the recording process and analogue sound tracks. Together with the powerful colour yellow and the UV varnish finish the identity visually supports Ontrack's aim of providing high (analogue) quality with modern means.

Campaign | Tong Tong Fair

This year special attention is paid to the fair's recent new name 'Tong Tong' which used to be 'Pasar Malam Besar'. The playful typography is built from elements as used in the entire identity. A combination with warm and welcoming portraits of indo's at the fair reflects the mix of eastern and western culture and the three elements of the Tong Tong Fair: food, fair and festival.

Worringer Platz | Documentary about public space

‘Am Worringer’ is an honest en inspiring documentary about one of Düsseldorf’s most troublesome public spaces. The ‘Worringer Platz’ is portrayed by various different opinions coming from architects, transport experts, city planners and artists as well as local residents and passers-by. Like the opinions the typography is sometimes rough and monumental and sometimes quiet. As the Worringer Platz is continiously changing this is illustrated by the pictures in the book being used as fragments to give you a feeling of place and time. Overview is created by a historical chronology and a walking route as a red line.

Corporate Identity | Breda’s Museum

The Breda’s Museum hosts a great variety of art pieces on the history of Breda. The museum itself can only put some of these items on public display. Their new identity was developed with the idea of presenting a platform for all the (forgotten) pieces from the archive.
A visual style is created with the white stencil logo as a framework for the diverse and colourful pieces of art.
