Here is a basic annual report we did last year as part of a new corporate identity.

This is a little overview of the rusting poster project. These posters are printed with metal powders like iron and brass. They are overprinted with acid and salt solutions resulting in slowly and progressively transforming rusting graphics.

This is a series of magazines we are working on. Every issue revolves around one person that shows different aspects of the neighbourhood he or she is living in, the people they work with or look up to and the activities they initiate. This way people get a vibrant insight in what goes on in the region. Its like a printed personal documentary.

This is the fully redesigned stationary for a Dutch housing corporation for which we redeveloped the corporate identity. Their new identity is strongly based on a modest graphic design on one side and colourful personal portraits of the proud people that actually live in the neighbourhoods on the other. This is part of a large scale strategy and repositioning phase that is under construction for a while and is reaching it’s completion in the near future. Stay tuned for more to come.

During Dutch Design Week Edhv presented the “Oxidations” project at the Dutch Invertuals. Oxidations is a follow up to a project by ‘Grafisch Atelier Daglicht’ for which we experimented with printing metals, salt solutions and acids on paper. This resulted in a extensive research in the process and effects of oxidation. We decided to figure out how we could apply this to wood in order to change its appearance and actually make wood rust. For this purpose we designed a simple stool that we silkscreen printed with iron and brass, and over printed it with acid. Then the stool starts rusting… We have operators standing by to take your order.

- What does the project consist of?

This is a series of visual poetry on the theme fragility. The posters consisted of blotter paper that were silkscreen printed with a specially designed typeface.

- What is the project concept?

We wanted to create the most fragile image we could think of. One can light the poster with a glowing fuse and it starts burning and glowing really slow. In the end all that is left is an image in ashes. This way the poster becomes a kind of micro event in itself.

- What was the production of this project like?

It was really hard to get the blotter paper in this size because mostly the paper is pre-cut on thin roles. We had to fly it in from the factory. Luckily kind people from the manufacturer helped us; otherwise we could not have done this. The hardest part was the screen-printing. Because the material is really thin once you print it, it tears really fast and sticks to the screen.

- How was your experience with this project?

You really have to see a poster burn live. It’s like magic. It’s a pity that it is not possible to preserve the ash image but hey, that makes it even more special.

Can we make image serve as source material for visual identity? this was the starting point for the tool we created to generate the visual identity for ‘Huis voor Beeldcultuur’ or House of Visual Culture. This tool mixes images from the events and exhibitions they organize into ‘data minerals’ as we call them. these minerals can ‘listen’ to the data flow on the internet connected to the event and translate into these shapes. This way we get a generated dynamic visual identity that still reflects the work or atmosphere of the work that is on display. By the end of the year you’ll get this mineral collection that represents the overall character of the event that took place.

The Data Minerals that you see here are based on works by a range of artists. These are test versions to see how their work reflect in the shapes.

For this years edition of Dutch Invertuals with the theme of fragility, Edhv created a poster that becomes an event by it’s self. The poster consists of text or image printed on blotter paper. When lit the poster starts glowing and burning until there is almost nothing left. What remains is an ash image so fragile that one breath can destroy it. short movies of this process will follow soon.
