Ace Martial Arts
Created in 2018

ACE Martial Arts is a Martial Arts studio based in Rotterdam. For their new name, a visual identity was developed ranging from logos to signage. The logos were inspired by old traditional stamps and spirit animals. For the posters a more expressionist visual language was created to drag the attention of the public. The illustrative layers on top of the images suggest the impact of martial arts.

Best Dutch Book Designs 2016
Created in 2018
—
The design of the catalogue is a reflection on the selection made by the student jury. Looking at the selected books, a certain pattern appears: a book is not just a source of information, but a an object. With it’s image-based editorial approach, tactility, choice of paper, typography and final presentation, the selection of 2016 is telling a lot about how our perception of printed matter is being influenced by the electronic media. The catalogue was displayed at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam amongst other books as part of the Best Dutch Book Designs 2016.

Police. Support. Control.
Created in 2017
—
This typographic reader combines three texts from open-source pages and shuffles the order of the pages. By doing so the reader has three different approaches to read the publication. The first text is about the border police, the second about support from the government and the third text is about control within a government. The publication is made to shine light upon police officers who see themselves as governing power instead of being equal to others as this is more and more happening in Western countries.

Une Saison Graphique
Created in 2017

Special flags were made with a neutral background consisting of shapes on national flags from all over the world. During the workshop the flags would be personalised by the visitors of the workshop/installation by spray painting their initials on the flags. A special 3-layered stencil typeface was created to express the diversity of every individual. The end result was a parliament of colourful flags created by us and the visitors.
Exhibited at Une Saison Graphique, Le Havre.

Taliyoon
Created in 2016
—
A geographic landscape called Taliyoon (meaning Trade Route Gone) which visualises Senegal as it is connected to contemporary trade dependencies in Europe and the United States. Its shape and topology equals frighteningly similar locations of historical trade routes of the 18th century. Taliyoon shows that since then not much progress has been achieved, and the only logical next step is for the group develop a cynical manual that reveals the seemingly impossible task of gaining autonomy from imperialism.
Exhibited at Waag Society, Amsterdam.
In collaboration with Amélie Vancoppenolle & Niels van der Donk
What's In It For Me?
Created in 2016
—
What's In It For Me? is a critical reflection on the inequality between first and third world countries. With a series of social experiments resulting in multimedia works accompanied by intriguing imagery Daan explores the social environment we live in as well as questioning his own behaviour and thoughts within an interdisciplinary working and researching process. With putting his personal observations into relation with the reactions of his environment on the questions he initially raised, Daan’s final work is reflecting critically on the issues of effort and affect.

Tegula
Created in 2016
—
Tegula is a monospaced typeface that consists of two fonts, text and display. The display font consists only of capitals with high contrast characters. The text font is made for smaller set type. Inspired by squared tiles used in architecture, mostly at facades a system of square boxes had been developed. The white space is in ratio the same as the letterforms by using optical tricks such as flat terminals and pointy endings of the letter shapes. Tegula can be categorised as an industrial or architectural type.

Temporary Assembly of Borderless States
Created in 2016
—
For the identity, the aesthetics were inspired by pressure maps and line height maps since the main subject was rethinking the concept of borders. The coats of arms are based on a system that work for all the 24 projects. They are black and white, they all show their GPS coordinate and they have one of the three background patterns that were based on the surroundings of the given location: on water, on land or in the air (such as satellites).

Held at Waag Society, Amsterdam.

Pencillo
Created in 2016
—
Pencillo is a font that is based on the writing with a brush pen. The higher the pressure on the pen, the thicker the line. All the beaks, on the glyphs that contain them, are different to keep the hand painted brush-stroke alive. Based on those principles I created Pencillo.

Mean Free City
Created in 2016
—
The inhabitants of a modern city provide more freedom of movement in an environment they can shape themselves. A modern city where the buildings can move freely to create space for new settings. By that, the city is constantly moving and its form will be dynamic. The buildings move around like molecules, each surrounding is looking for its own free path in order to not collide with other buildings, environments or places.
Exhibited at Fokker Terminal, The Hague.

Money, a thing we nowadays all desire and helps us to open certain doors. Nevertheless it can also be destructive. For example: Greece in 2015.

Among a few other posters, this poster won and was displayed at the 3sec. Gallery in Breda and at De Affiche Galerij in The Hague.
