Visual identity

Bamboe Balie is all about bamboo. As the base of their visual identity, at our studio, we've developed a font that actually acts as bamboo. Namely, it takes up all available space, both horizontal and vertical.

Zijn er ook Nederlanders bij betrokken? 1

1) About news. For the past years news and therefore journalism has been under considerable pressure. Both within our society and the field of journalism itself. While the circulation of paid newspapers continues to decline, interest for news in the form of free newspapers and online media increases year after year. So we do feel the need of consuming news, but why? Every day? Do we watch CNN because we are actually involved, affected or interested? Or are we doing this purely to put our own lives in a larger perspective?

News, as a concept, is very interesting. It is information that loses its value at the very moment it is published. Yesterday's news is today's fish and chips. This makes it to some extent interchangeable or even worthless. After all news derives its value from the fact that a subject or development is new or unknown. A fully market-oriented concept where it dissociates itself from the larger whole, namely journalism. "News is the unsual", writes the dutch former Middle-East correspondant Joris Luyendijk in his bestseller book Het zijn net mensen. As news is about the short term, sensation and sentiment. "The news media may not be successful in telling people what to think, but they are stunningly successful in telling them what to think about."

Zijn er ook Nederlanders bij betrokken? is an essay (dutch) about why we are interested in news.

TEDx Amsterdam (more info)
Livestream in Groningen

TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So they're continually building a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. TED started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer.

The TEDx program gives communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently.

As is the TEDx Amsterdam event, hosted annually in Amsterdam, but broadcasted throughout multiple cities in the Netherlands. We, as We love it when a plan comes together, also strongly believe in the power of sharing ideas. For the last two years we have organized the TEDx Amsterdam Livestream from Groningen.

Hoofdstuk 1

A poster series that promotes a radio transmitted performance, consecutive representing inner experience, pirate radio, systematic and objective approach and the art of performance and theatre.

Using a multitude of only pre-set or cliche graphic styles, eventually devalues style as a whole, leaving information as the common denominator.
