  • If You Have Nothing To Say, Sing It
    [EN] Poster design.
    Many years ago, long before Twitter and internet, the father of advertising David Ogilvy, said: “If You Have Nothing To Say, Sing It.” By changing the context (Twitter), this quote gets a new meaning.

    [NL] Poster ontwerp
    De vader van de reclame, David Ogilvy zei ooit “If You Have Nothing To Say, Sing It” waarmee hij bedoelde: wanneer je inhoudelijk niets hebt te vertellen, laat het dan op z'n minst er goed uitzien of klinken. Door deze uitspraak (waarmee hij reclamemakers en zichzelf op de hak nam) te voorzien van een andere context (Twitter), krijgt deze een dubbele betekenis.

  • Jasser
    [EN] Logo and poster design for Jasser.
    The logo consists of two scripts: Arabic and Hebrew and can also be read upside down. (ambigram)

    Jasser Mansoer, a Palestinian actor living in the Netherlands, is in his dressing room, preparing to go on stage to play Shylock, the Jew in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.
    He is frustrated with always being cast to play Jewish characters. Even more frustrating is the fact that he never got the chance to play his namesake Yasser Arafat. He did play Arafat once, but that was a long time ago, when he was a little boy playing on the street with his friends. In those days he would also play Rabin.


    [NL] Affiche ontwerp voor Jasser.
    Het woordbeeld bestaat voor de helft uit een Arabische letterstijl en voor de andere helft uit een Hebreeuwse letterstijl. Ook ondersteboven blijft het leesbaar als 'Jasser'.

    In zijn kleedkamer bereidt de Palestijns-Nederlandse acteur Jasser Mansoer zich voor op Shakespeares 'De koopman van Venetië' waarin hij de Jood Shylock speelt. Frustrerend vindt hij het dat hij telkens voor Joodse rollen wordt gecast. Nog teleurstellender is het dat hij nooit écht zijn naamgenoot Yasser Arafat heeft kunnen spelen, alleen vroeger op straat met zijn vriendjes. Maar toen speelde hij ook Rabin.
