Short Korte Film




-----------------------------------------------
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)







------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 creƫren. 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







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


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



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



-----------------------------
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...
