Supernatural 
Supernatural Agency
Branding


Supernatural is a New York based advertising agency assisted by a machine:

We built a machine-learning algorithm to supercharge our creativity. The machine lets us get to strategy faster, make more relevant creative, and ensures that everything we do is informed by everything we (and our machine) know.”

I helped out realizing Supernaturals visual language. Worked on concept development, typography and layout together with Johan Leandersson, to make Paul Caiozzo’s vision come to life. It was a truly cooperative process together with everyone involved.

Wordmark and Icon are drawn by Martin Schmetzer.

Bauer Display
Oklart Type Foundry
Typeface

 
John Bauer’s illustrations had a very soft and naturally mystical quality to them, but at the same time there was often a darkness and a sense of danger present. I wanted to represent both these opposites in the Bauer font.

Taverny Identity
Taverny
Branding

Taverny is a TT(RP)G-matchmaking app, made for boardgamers. Game Masters and players are able to find each other through the app, create groups, communicate, pick a date and play.

We wanted the typography to have a sci-fi and fantasy blend and for it to live in the boardgame sphere. The wordmark is  ment to be the love child of ITC Gothic and Benguiat.

The icon uses the T as a table with heads above it. Depending on how close a game is to being realized (dm/people/table) the icon is filled differently, with full being ready.

The design approach follows the same lines of thought, straight forward, almost to the point of being simplistic. We wanted to create a feel of as little as design as possible.

Tove Lo Title Typography 
Universal Music
Typography 

Before singing her own songs Tove Lo was known as songwriter writing music for other artists. But some songs she felt were too personal to give to someone else, which resulted in the Truth Serum EP.

There’s a depth and rawness to it. A darkness which we wanted to be reflected in all of the graphic material, to give the feeling that you’re given access to a personal diary.

Eskatos
Oklart Type Foundry
Typeface

Eskatos is a experimental decaying typeface in six different weights/ shades of decay. I like the idea of things falling apart but wanted to explore the concept digitally rather than physically. It’s also interesting how little information you really need once the eye get’s used to it’s clues in the higher weights.

Branding

ASD is a Dutch organisation who keep in touch with different social disciplines surrounding vulnerable citizens. They give asked and unasked advice to local government.

Since ASD’s job is to point out potential societal problems we felt the exclamationmark works as an excellent replacement for the three i’s in their name.
