"Re/Search-Engine / Adventure City Cards Game" Visualisation/infographic for a cardsgame devel- loped by 'DRFTWD Office', an architecture / urban development studio in Amsterdam. The structure of the game is essential in the game-play. One part of the design shows the full set of cards, placed so to reveal this stucture. The design for the backsides of the cards is derived from the decorative tradition of playing card design. The typically meaningless patterns here serve as a quartet-identifyer and again reflect the games' total structure.

Online archive for the work of a dutch jewelry designer. Her work go's back to 1974 and the number of images is way over 200. The design deals with this amount by initiating with all visual content, which can than be dissected into multiple levels of subgroups. It provides the possibility of analysis but at the same time functions as a random image highlighter.

Experiment trying to cloak the effects of light. A 3-dimensional setting is photographed under strict lightning conditions (2). The initial graytones this results in, are compensated by the use of oil paint (1), resulting in the dis- appearance of all visual distinction. The fold out version of the setting (3) -after being treated- becomes an info- graphic of the setting and it's relation to the environment.

'Backstage' was a live publication for casco's 'publish or be damned' exhibition, on Saturday, Nov.5 2005, in Utrecht. The documentation of our research into this project was used as content. The designing of this content was broadcasted -in real-time- to the screens/headset/printer of an abandoned workstation inside casco.

Book, 2005
A cookbook about a single recipe. Every section is about one ingredient and is designed by a different designer. My section is about ginger, as well as it is about hyperlinked information. With the web as a source, any search for information is surrounded by endless sub-information. The section contains a documentation of my search for information about ginger within Wikipedia.
The first part is working its way up through the complete scientific classification of ginger, therefore I developed a layout system based on the zeitgeist of this classification, with the use of the golden ratio. The middle contains the article about ginger itself. Finally, all articles from the links within the ginger article are summed up within one of the previously defined layouts, suiting my personal interest in the particular article.

'A temporary work in public space documented in a book.' A typical car commercial billboard photographed with a typical rush hour traffic- jam in front. Next it was pasted back onto that same billboard. A typical method of postering this size billboard is by pasting 'plano' (±A0) sized posters side by side. This same 'plano' sized paper is also used for making the signatures of the book (aka sections).

poster, 2004Analphabet Project by Electrosmog Cyan Magenta and Yellow should theoretically be able to produce the 'full' color spectrum. This additive color mixing system I used to create a color-coded alphabet. Each color is used in 3 value's: 0%, 50%, 100%. Excluding the C0% M0% Y0% this results in a total of 26 possible shades which equals the amount of characters from the latin alphabet. The color of a word is defined by the average of all containing letter-value's.

Capturing the Amsterdam-Rotterdam part of the future HSL (High Speed Train) track with a technique called slit-photography.
With it's potential of becoming a superior connection to the south of europe, this new connection is kind of compressing the space in between, abstracting it.

Signing system for the open day of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Based on the undefined space as a portal to the defined space, while from another viewpoint it is the undefined space being the only space defined. Particularly in the rietveld.
