Business card, Red Cloud

In my third year at Graphic Design College we were commissioned to design our own business cards. In this card I wanted to express my identity. Being red haired and very much a daydreamer as a little girl, this was the result!

MSN reizen/MSN travel

My first internship at College was at a company in Arnhem, called ZaaZoo, basically a search engine for travels. I worked at the Design Department which was affiliated with other travel companies like MSN Reizen, Cadeaubox, Weekend Company and others. My main task was to re-design the MSN-reizen homepages.

Design Homepage Stage in Arnhem

Another job I was commissioned was to design a new website for students who are looking for an internship in Arnhem. It was my responsibility to design the Homepage, Internship Definition (Stage omschrijving) and Contact. Here, I also went for a fresh and playful look of the website.

Logo, Hotel Deal

Subsequently I had to design a logo for a newly affiliated company which caters for cheap hotel deals, called Hotel Deal. While sketching I noticed that I could form a key out of the letters O and E. However, ZaaZoo selected my second logo because it had a more ‘budget’ look.

Dead Pigeon

During Photography class we had to take ‘sad pictures’. Walking outside looking for a sad picture, I saw this dead pigeon lying on the sidewalk and I felt sorry for the poor bird but at the same time I was struck by its beauty, just lying there.

Prunus avium, flower seed bags

In my second year at College we were commissioned to design a seed bag. We were free to pick any style we liked. I chose Art Nouveau because of it's curly form of vegetation.

Cecilia NY

Leafing through a National Geographic magazine my eye was caught by edited images of the landscape as it could have looked before New York existed. I made a collage of these two elements of nature and the architecture of New York.

De Wel, Water in a carton

A museum about the culture history of Twente, called De Twentse Welle, asked our College to design a new carton which contains water. This being one of the items they sell in their shop. In our design we were supposed to mix our own style with the existing style of the museum. I sought to loosen up the fairly sober style of the museum by designing a display of splashing water within a limited palette.

OTM(A), The daughters of the last tsar

Being fascinated by the history of Russia, especially by the family of the last tsar, I wanted to make a drawing of this family. Here I left Anastasia out, her death being a mystery. This drawing of mine is based on a photograph which I found on the internet.

Project Typez

This board was part of a group project at College. Among several items we had to design for an imaginary modelling agency called Typez, we made this graphic chandelier as an eyecatcher. Little christmas lights attached at the back shine through tiny holes drilled in the board.

Businesscard Project Typez

For the same project as mentioned above, this was my individual design for a business card.
