Das Bayerische Staatsballett / Company Book #1

2008-02-26T13:40:00.000-08:00

Das Bayerische Staatsballett / Company Book #2

2008-02-26T13:16:00.001-08:00

At the moment I am doing an internship for a half year at Fons Hickmann m23 in Berlin. I am working with 2 other persons on a company book for Das Bayerische Staatsballett in München/Germany. The book will have 7 chapters - and because it's about ballet - every chapter has it's own movement. The page numbers are moving, the grid is different, the color of the paper, the identity of the images and the typography. For the headlines we made ligatures by connecting the words and sentences. The book gives you a feeling of dancing. We will finish the book in a few weeks and it will be in the bookstores in Germany in May 2008. Liebe Grüße Cindy

This is what I do!

2008-01-16T08:17:00.000-08:00

I am an intern. And I have to manage the 'info' mail of the designstudio. This is (part of) the junk I got from the last week. 5292 emails, and my job is to get the important emails out of it, which is awesome. I am so lucky to have this internship :D

NIKE NIGHT: PARTY ON AIR

2008-01-09T16:35:00.000-08:00

---------------------------
Party invitation for NIKE Europe in Amsterdam. My now good friend, Yew Kee Chung, and I worked on some great top secret projects together for NIKE Europe, this being one of the less confidential projects. Yew Kee is the genius behind Matte, a great design boutique in Amsterdam where I worked on some projects this past year. It was great to be in Amsterdam again, and I hope to be back there again soon.

Scriptie Ontwerp

2007-05-03T06:35:00.000-07:00

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dit zijn een paar spreads van mijn scriptie-ontwerp. De
eerste spraed is de omslag. Die bestaat uit dunne lijnen.
Als je die kopiëert valt de tekst weg omdat het allemaal
even grijs wordt. Zo zijn ook de andere grijze pagina's,
steeds aan het begin van een hoofdstuk. De roze typografie
wordt gezeefdrukt in fluor roze wat ook weg valt als je
het kopiëert. De laatste afbeelding was een test. Ik heb
die gezeefdrukt in drie kleuren, de beelden in mijn ont-
werp zullen er zo uit gaan zien.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are a few spreads from my thesis about appropriation and copying in the art and design world. The first spread above is the cover, designed with very thin lines which when copied just turn the page completely grey. Each chapter begins with a page of anti-copy design. The pink typography will be silkscreened in flourescent pink which is a color photocopy machines can not read, and will disappear when copied. The image is just a test, made by silkscreening three colors.

Final stages of production.

Short Korte Film

2007-05-02T06:35:00.000-07:00

-----------------------------------------------
For the Dutch series of art in the Berkshires, MASS MoCA will be hosting a short film "festival." Because the length of the films is such a factor, I show an image from each film at its corresponding length, creating the abstract image above. The Dutch translation of the word Short is Korte, and because of the similar meaning and spelling a developed letters which would splice together and retain their original forms.

Not final yet.

Schetsen onderzoeksopdracht (1)

Schetsen onderzoeksopdracht (2)

2007-05-02T05:19:00.000-07:00

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ik denk dat grafisch ontwerpen in de toekomst
zich verder gaat ontwikkelen dan zoals het
vakgebied nu is. Grafisch ontwerpen zal zich
samen met de samenleving en de technologie
moeten ontwikkelen. Grafisch ontwerpen zal
niet meer alleen een affiche of boek maken
zijn, maar meer zal inspelen op de ervaring
van de toeschouwer. Daarom ben ik op zoek naar
andere vormen voor grafisch ontwerpen zonder
dat het digitaal wordt.

In de schetsen hierboven heb ik citaten gebruikt van
ontwerpers die een uitspraak doen over de toekomst

van grafisch ontwerpen. Ik probeer met deze citaten
in combinatie met de vorm in de ruimte een spanning
te creëren. De eerste schetsen dus...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that graphic design will further develop
its relationship with technology in the future.
Design will no longer be just a poster, or book,
etc., but will pertain more to the experience of
the viewer. Therefore, I am investigating new
forms of design, other than in the digital world.

In the sketches above, I have used quotations
from designers who have something to say about
the future of design. In the combination of form
and space, I attempt to create a visual energy.

Just the first sketches...

ArtEZ Study Guides

2007-04-26T07:14:00.000-07:00

These are some various layout sketches for school study guides. Drop shadow A4's may have to be changed due to similarities to another design. We'll see. The whole design is inspired by default forms and office style design. All pages are loose A4's bound with a metal clip in an empty folder.

Peter Garfield Final

2007-04-25T07:01:00.000-07:00

My Final Poster, which marketing found not legible enough.

Final Poster, The Compromise

----------------------------------
Peter seemed to really like the final poster which was really nice. When I saw the film for the first time at the presentation I couldn't believe how well the poster fit as far as metaphor and meaning. Never having seen the film, Deep Space One, before I was quite interested in the comparison.
----------------------------------

NL Opening Party

2007-04-24T15:16:00.000-07:00

--------------------
There is an Opening Party for the Dutch artists coming to MASS MoCA this summer. I had an idea for a poster for it. Just goofing off a little.
--------------------

Ulrike Quade

2007-04-24T15:08:00.000-07:00

-----------------------------
The dancer and choreographer Ulrike Quade is giving a new performance at MASS MoCA. The theme is quite complicated—a group of individuals are trapped in a basement, but they are not trapped and are actually the notes being played by a live musician. This is a first trial of a first idea. A somewhat cliche metaphor for the situation.

Still working on it...

New dummy > Moulageboek (book about draping)

2007-03-22T09:34:00.000-07:00

---------------------------------------------------------------------
These are new sketches for the 'draping book'. We don't know
yet what the title will be. We defined our design for our first
presentation for the client this week. Fortunately they really
liked it. We also heard this week that the book will be published
in Dutch and English and will not only be selled in the Netherlands.

Hipmotism Final

2007-03-16T16:04:00.000-07:00

Final Poster

I just slipped these slashes in as a place holder for the saxophones, but I liked it.
------------------------------------
Marketing decided to change the emphasis of the poster to the fact that it was a Dance Party. I decided to stay with the letters which I had photographed while they were spinning though the text changed from Hipmotism to Dance Party.
------------------------------------

Boxed Sets

2007-03-03T15:18:00.000-08:00

------------------------------
Kidspace in MASS MoCA is having a show called Boxed Sets where 3 different artists all show work having to do with boxes. I decided to try and select an image which acted as a metaphor for all of the artists incorporating qualities which their pieces had. The blue bowl I selected has glass qualities like highlights found in one artist's stained glass work, and the other artists collects items such as sand dollars and balloon 'belly button' ends, which are echo in the round center shape of the bowl.

The black and white images are sketches, experimenting with different forms and what happens to those forms when you take a 2d foto and make it into a 3d box.

The poster/pamphlet shows the whole bowl with the box pattern layed over it and a pixel-like font I came up with for the show. The pamphlet information will be printed on the back of the poster. The postcard for the show, shows the boxes I made from the pattern on the poster.

Still working on it...

Peter Garfield: Diorama 3d Poster Sketch

2007-02-28T16:48:00.000-08:00

---------------------------------------
I started doing a poster today for an artist named Peter Garfield. He has made a film, which I haven't seen yet, where it is said that the camera moves through walls and has a different sense of space. The images above are just sketches I have done of his name cut from 3 different patterned pieces of paper which have been lined up in a diorama sort of 3d effect. Just some first sketches...
---------------------------------------

Hipmotism

2007-02-27T10:20:00.000-08:00

----------------------------------
Hipmotism is a jazz band from NYC, who will be playing at MASS MoCA. This is a first draft of the poster. Because of their name's likeness to hypnotism, I took each letter and saxophone, printed them out on a circle, and photographed them while I spun them.

Just a first draft, still working on it.
----------------------------------

Slavic Soul Party!

2007-02-27T10:13:00.000-08:00

--------------------------------------
The beginning ideas I had for this poster were Rem Koolhaas' EU barcode flag and then that op-art image within lines which I thought would fit in with the flag well. I picked colors from the Slavic flags and then made an op-art tuba for the stripes, but I was having a little trouble with type.

Well for whatever reason on the second and third posters I just dropped the slavic colors and then for some reason the type seemed to begin to work a little better. Still working on it...
--------------------------------------

Double Poster

2007-02-25T16:43:00.000-08:00

------------------------------------
Just a test for a "double poster." I wanted to see if by folding I could combine two images into one poster, as if it were a two frame animation of sorts. When you walk by this poster, the elephant is always walking in the same direction as you are. I have know idea if this has already been done a thousand times before or not, but I just thought I would give it a go.

Ska Valentine's Day Posters

2007-02-23T17:52:00.000-08:00

------------------------
Skank your heart out! Some Valentine's Day Teen Ska Dance Party posters were needed last minute. Tried to combine a V and a heart to make a pattern for the background, just b&w printed on colored paper. The plan was to hang them up together in a triptych.

AHISTORIC SYMPOSIUM

2007-02-20T15:19:00.000-08:00

AHISTORIC SYMPOSIUM is for the exhibition Ahistoric Occasion at MASS MoCA. The show is about different objects and ideas taken from the past, which is then reworked into something new. For example there is a series of portraits of people who dress as Abraham Lincoln in Civil War reenactments.

For the poster, which was just going to be photo–copied onto preprinted posters (that green stuff top and bottom), I decided first of all that history is determined mainly by documents and evidence that we have collected over time. I found a nice graphic which is used by forensic photographers to show scale in the evidence they record. At first I tried to create a piece of documented evidence about the symposium. I decided that it was maybe not eye-catching enough for a poster, and took the graphic elements I had used to create a new false history of images of an astronaut in the show by artist Yinka Shonibare.

moulageboek

2007-02-20T01:52:00.000-08:00

-------------------------------------------------------------------
hey corndogbrothers,
dit zijn nieuwe schetsen voor het moulageboek. we
proberen nu een 'totaalbeeld' te maken voor het
boek zodat we een idee hebben hoe het eruit komt
te zien. het bestaat eigenlijk uit twee delen. de
eerste gaat over de geschiedenis van mouleren en
over verschillende ontwerpers. het tweede deel zijn
instructies over hoe je moet mouleren. in het ont-
werp proberen we ook dit verschil te laten zien.
de laatste spreads zijn sfeerpagina's met grote
beelden die door het boek verspreid worden.
c'est tout. x cin
-------------------------------------------------------------------
these are new sketches for the 'moulageboek'. we
are trying to create a total image of how the book
will look like. there are two different parts in
the book. one part is about the history of draping
and about different designers. the second part is
instructions for how to learn the technique of
draping. we are trying to show the differences in
the design of the book too. the last spreads are
pages to show the atmosphere with large images.
these pages will be random through the book.

Cultural Agenda

2007-02-19T09:01:00.000-08:00

Most cultural agendas are organized chronologically and by categories like movies, music, etc.. I tried to organize this agenda by price, as my friends and I didn't have much money at the time. The cheaper items' type is much larger and crass, and as the items become more expensive the type thins and becomes more refined. On each page, in a different color, I also decided to give people another cheaper option than what is available. As you go through the agenda, you see that the cheaper option I propose becomes increasingly dominant as the price of the page's activities rise.
