In the first Agendapunten post I mention that I would like to create a series of queer activism posters that I can clatter around the internet and city of Rotterdam. I wanted to break away from the ‘CAN’T WAIT TO BE MYSELF’ design, because I want to play and not limit myself in such an early stage of the process.

Kevin Versteeg, a friend of Niels, writes witty poetry and makes bizarre drawings. His work is perfect to practise my book-binding skills, so we decided to design a bundle of his gathered pieces.

We visited Saber, a friend of Niels, who is a multidisciplinary artist. He mainly focuses on letters, and creates stunning, colourful works. Saber has a studio in Den Haag, where he wanted to display and sell a few additional artworks of other designers, so we dropped of some of Niels his works.
It was inspiring and fun to see Saber himself, the space and his works. Materials like paint, cutting tools and rulers were arranged neatly all around the studio. Together with pieces of wood Saber found whilst strolling through the city – he likes to collect and cut wood. Making it into furniture. He is very dedicated towards his creations, working on them for 12 to 19 hours a day. His process has many layers, steps and is preformed by hand, so human error occurs. But he keeps going and going, until the work is perfect.

DJ Mauro Rakinho wanted mini-branding for his playful house music mixtapes. Niels already designed a logo, and Rakinho would like to add a mascotte, – in the form of a chemical test tube character, because he ‘brews’ his music – artwork for his monthly digital releases, a wallpaper for his screensaver for his phone, and we personally would like to add an element of animation because I want to introduce it into my skillset ~fancyshmancy~.

For the upcoming three weeks I will design a vinyl album cover, whilst doing (visual) research into the references of the lyrics. I plan to gather words and visuals that relate towards the project and to experiment with a few different techniques to distort the images and see what happens.
These are most of the books that I looked into during this project. Some where about design, others about Arthur Rimbaud – the poet who the lyrics of this album are inspired by. He is a rather dramatic figure with a rebellious, flamboyant, and provoking voice. It was refreshing to look into his life, works and legacy through an actual book. Normally I browse on the internet for information, but when you read a book on the history of a person or of a specific type of design there is a different kind of focus.
