Heineken at the Champions League Finals in London

During a 3-day-build-up to the UEFA Champions League finals 2011 in London, sponsor Heineken dominated the city’s advertising space.
I was asked by Heineken to translate the global ‘open your world’ print campaign into dynamic animations that would enrich and maximize the campaigns impact .
These short videoclips where shown on single- and multiple screens in underground- and train stations all over London. With that taking the full advantage of the digital outdoor media possibilities in the city.

New typography for Inspirationspam

New on my blog is the typography I’m using. It’s generated by a new plug-in: Typekit, witch can be used either on a Worpress blog or on any other type of website.
Typekit is an easie way to use real fonts on the web. It’s a subscription-based service for linking to Open Type fonts from some of the major type foundries. The fonts are served from a global network on redundant servers.


Every major browser now supports the ability to link to a font. That means you can write a bit of CSS, include a URL to a font file, and have your page display with the typography you expect. For designers and developers, this is a significant step forward. No longer will you need to trap your content in images or Flash. But Fonts have copyrights.
And that’s where Typekit comes in. They’ve developed a web-only font linking license with the major type foundry’s. And they’ve build the technology platform to host free and commercial fonts.

Inspirationspam is now using the VERA SANS by Bitstream as bodytype…

… and LFT ETICA DISPLAY WEB by TypeTogether for the headings.

Teach your kids to become font-designers

This toy prototype helps your kids not only their ABCs but also the basics of font design. Instead of 26 distinct letters, the oversize, 4-inch recycled-cardboard cubes (known as “Letterboxes”) divvy up the alphabet into combining geometric parts. The cubes can be stacked in all sorts of combinations to produce a variety of shapes and letterforms. The typeface is available as a free download.

Wallpaper* kwam afgelopen maand uit met the ‘sex-issue’. Als onderdeel daarvan is een groot aantal grafische ontwerpers gevraagd een typografische tart card te ontwerpen. Tart cards zijn een langzaam uitstervend ‘form of advertising’ in Londense telefooncellen, waarop prostituees hun diensten aanbieden.

Hier alvast een kleine selectie.Bekijk hier de hele collectie.

Whatever you think…

… think the opposit. Je kunt de werled verbeteren als je je denken omdraait. Deze clip is gemaakt voor  AARP U@50 video competitie. De winnaar is een oersaaie clip, maar deze is schitterend in z’n eenvoud.

Ik helemaal enthousiast over deze film, blijkt het gebaseerd te zijn op een politiek statement uit 2006 over Argentinië! (wat overigens een zilveren  Cannes Lion award gewonnen heeft in 2006) Maar goed, het maakt het principe van de opbouw van het verhaal er niet minder mooi op.
