So what did I do, what did I make? What did I design and am I legally allowed to show you? You'll find some of it on this page, which will be supplemented by the time.

Below are some of the projects I worked on using Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

Spierings cityboy manual

For the company WSI Models multiple instruction manuals are made for their new scale model cranes. The last one of three manuals is this one for the Spierings Cityboy. As I coordinated the complete development of the scale model, I wrote the roadmap to build this crane, supervised the shooting and improving of the photos, designed the layout and eventually build this manual using Adobe InDesign.

liebherr mk140 manual

The first of the three manuals that are made for WSI Models was this one for the Liebherr MK140 tower crane. Equal to the Spierings Cityboy I coordinated the complete development of this scale model. In cooperation with a technical colleague and Liebherr engineers I eventually designed and wrote the complete manual.

Nature wall report - Minor Healthcare and Architecture

 

During my minor Healthcare Architecture I worked together with students from different educations such as Architecture, Healthcare and Interior Design in a multidisciplinary team. The assignment we worked on for six months was contributing to the mental and physical well-being of people in their home and office, by developing a product with the application of plants.

 

The main requirement for this was the implementation of the solution into both new and current buildings. In this it was the intention to give these plants multiple functions rather then only for decoration.

 

After doing multiple healthcare- and plant studies, in which the effect of greenery and the ones with the best effects were examined, solutions were devised based on the outcomes. Thereafter three main concepts were formed based on a list of requirements. Based on the degree of effectiveness and simplicity of application, the panel wall was chosen.

Written portfolio - Mature #1

For my education Industrial Product Design in Arnhem I made two portfolios which I named "Mature", after the English word maturity and growth.

 

I wrote the first part in the third year of my education, to give companies insight into my skills for possible internships. Some of the projects of the first 2,5 years of my education and my first internship are laid out in this first part.

 

Because his search field for internships was extended for abroad possibilities, I wrote my portfolio in two languages. This came in handy when applying for an internship in Shanghai, China.

birth card bram

After satisfied responses on the first baby card I was asked to make another design, this time for my niece's newborn son. In cooperation with my niece some design examples were used to create a "boy look".

liebherr LTM1750 manual

The second of the three manuals that are made for WSI Models was this one for the Liebherr LTM1750. Equal to the Spierings Cityboy I coordinated the development of this scale model and so wrote and designed the complete manual, in cooperation with the involved Liebherr engineers.

bachelor thesis - industrial and product design

 

For my graduation project of Industrial and Product Design education I wrote my bachelor thesis at WSI Models. During this project of six months I worked on a toy truck line for WSI, in cooperation with toy company Polesie. As these two companies have a different level of detailing solutions had to be found to serve both WSI as Polesie clients.

 

This was done by doing a wide spectrum of analysis, including but not limited to user-, usage-, product- and legislation analysis. These were done to find out what both client groups were looking for, how they use these products and to which laws this product group is subjected to.

 

In cooperation with both companies and by use of a list of requirements three main concept proposals were worked out and prototyped. These were presented to the clients and based on multiple analysis, such as production costs, the final concept has been chosen which has been handed over to the production engineers of Polesie.

Written portfolio - Mature #2

After finishing my second internship in Shanghai, I wrote a second part of Mature. Next to an extensive report this portfolio was used for the assessment of the internship.

 

This edition of Mature consists of this internship portfolio, which tells about the internship company, the course of the internship, the assignments that have been worked on and the various company visits.

 

In addition to the internship itself, I also dived into my learning goals and to what extent this internship has helped achieve these learning goals. Eventually a reflection is given on how I experienced this internship period.

restaurant pesca amsterdam

For a newly opened fish restaurant in Amsterdam I commissioned the logo, corporate identity and website. The mood board included theater lamps, cinema signs and spotlights. The intention was to design a style and logo that gave a theater feeling ("Theater of Fish"), but at the same time did not seem too kitschy.

birth card marli

For the birth of my niece's daughter I designed a baby card on request. The design of the front uses a photo, made up of only two colors. This was chosen on request because in the past I used to make the same type of paintings, using only two colors.

business card

For my education assesment I made a simplistic business card. I opted for such a minimalist design, in which I made use of only text and outlines in the same thickness and color, on a white background.
