I proudly present to you, the absolute oldest project on this site. It dates from 2008 to be exact, but it keeps surviving every single clean up I do because I simply like the story too much.

In the middle of my Graphic Design studies at the HKU this cover design contest came along for the VPRO, the most famous leftwing media magazine our country has got. After having thought of the asked concept, Vrolijke Wetenschap (Happy Science) for about five seconds, I cleaned a corner of my desk and photographed this serpentine on a piece of paper. I then opened the picture in Photoshop on my heavy Dell laptop, and put the title on it in Arial, because I had no idea which font was save to use without licenses. I erased the pieces that covered the serpentine to make it look like the words were behind it, and I uploaded the result.

Fifteen minutes after learning that the contest existed in the first place I was back in the shared kitchen baking cheesy toast again. Still my favorite lunch by the way.
