GRAPHIC DESIGN
In this field, emphasis is on the kind of work that is mostly meant for print: pure lettering or calligraphy in the strict sense of the word.
A graphic designer uses different means to bring across a message: photos, colour, layout... and of course letterforms. When it comes to letters, the calligrapher may have an advantage. Not only does he have the same digital fonts at his disposal as any other designer, but he can also create a suitable script himself.
In my calligraphic work I aim to design letters and letter combinations that, because of their unique character, are impossible to make by a computer. That authentic, handwritten touch characterizes all my designs, whether it is a logo or an epitaph, an envelope or a design for a wedding announcement.
There are endless possibilities to which calligraphy can be applied. Shop signs, letterheads, posters, packaging, business cards, book covers, menu's, envelopes, announcements, bookmarks, wine labels, greeting cards, printwork for table linens, boxes, folders, clothing en glass work... too many to mention.
Have a look in my portfolio under Applied Calligraphy to see a few examples and do not hesitate to contact me if you think I can be of any help.
