− Beeldend Woord vs. Woordend beeld

Cover image selected for Next generation, please!
Bozar, Brussels.

As a believer in 2017, I have a strong affinity with the Bible but I am also a contemporary graphic designer. We live in a world with an abundance of images in the greatest possible sense of the word. But how is the relationship between Word and image in a biblical context? I investigated this relationship and developed a contemporary image language in which the Word of God took a central place. On the one hand typographic, on the other hand, visual.

− Reader design

Olympian - Helvetica
Schleiper Croquis, 95g Paper
Canson, 160g
Cahier-stitch

Reader design of the first episode of Downton Abbey. The strong division between upstairs (The Family) and downstairs (the servants) is strongly present in the series. I chose to set all the conversations which were held upstairs at the top of the page and al the conversations downstairs at the bottom of the page. The next difference between upstairs and downstairs is shown in the choice of type. All the people from upstairs got the very chic serif Olympian, the people from downstairs were set in the neutral, inconspicuous Helvetica. The binding is divided by four parts, two are sewn with a copper thread (chic-Upstairs), the two others are sewn with a black thread (neutral-downstairs).

− Catalog design

Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk
Canson Marker Paper, 70g
Singer stitch

About fashion. Do we pay for the label? Do we pay for the material? What do we pay for the fabrication? What are the differences between brands in pricing and quality? At first sight it looks like a normal catalog from a fashion label. Later it starts to ask questions, are there differences in the appearance of the same looking clothes from different brands? Or not? The catalog doesn't provide a clear answer, but wants to encourage the viewer to think about this subject.

2016
− Typo/image system for biblical text

Typographic Image-system for Biblical text. Research of ways to interpretate Biblical text visually. The written Word had to be really important because this is the base of my personal faith and christianity in general. The text determines the image trough a typographic image-system. This system contents little symbols which each stand for a letter. It flows together and creates an overal image. Different posters where glued to the wall to create a bible verse wall.
