I dreamt of a scorching summer day, with strawberry-lime ice cream the other day

I accidentally put expired eyedrops in my eyes, so I was terrified, that my breakfast banana would turn psychedelic. Then I remembered, it would look cool, so everything is fine now. My eyes too!

It’s that fresh, crisp feeling you get, when your toe barely touches the damp grass on a sunny hillside morning

For the Holland Festival 2019 edition, the fifth in the series, the existing typeface was expanded with four weights. In the campaign an overlay of all type weights was used to maximize the mesmerizing effect of bright and contrasting colors that express the multitude of voices and cultures that make up today’s society. Circles turned the logomark into masks to communicate the general theme of identities and identity politics. The design explores the translation of bright colors across different media. Online in RGB, in print in pantone and CMYK. As a result of these experiments one poster used 6 fluo colors and one facade combined full colour prints and solid fluorescent sticker material.

M+ visual identity uses a range of mid-tone colours. These colours are selected to be tonally equal to 50% black. When they are used as backgrounds for text, black or white lettering will always be legible. The M+ colour wheel demonstrates the changes made to the primary colours to make a series of mid-tones to form the M+ colour set. By using this selection criteria, Thonik developed a huge range of colours, equivalent to about 1000 Pantone colours.

Vila Real is one of the oldest cities in Portugal. The old part of the city is being updated in order to become more friendly for pedestrians, children and old people. It was necessary to communicate this to the population, transmitting the new feeling of the renewed and updated city – specially to younger generations. The idea was to create a communication system that could adapt to all kinds of supports in a young and attractive way. Communicate the city renewal in a way that made the population proud of the reconstruction projects. Simple and bright composition modules with strong colours and simple shapes. The endless graphic possibilities were quickly adopted by the city.

Built between 1936 and 1946, Matosinhos Market was projected by ARS. A Portuguese modernist architecture icon, characterized by its white strong light and the seaside lifestyle. Matosinhos Market maintains its original function, and has been open since the first half of the 20th century. Famous for the fresh fish, it succeeds in allying the tradition of ancient markets – where visitors are confronted with a cornucopia of different delicacies and multicoloured stalls – with the architectural beauty of the surrounding space. Vestígio designed the graphic identity system of the market.

“After all, the best way to travel is to feel.” wrote Álvaro de Campos, one of the identities of Fernando Pessoa, Portugal’s most famous poet. We want the LGBTQ tourist to feel proud to be unique, as we feel about our country’s colourful landscape, a leading LGBTQ destination. Among the 20 most visited countries in the world and considered one of the safest, in Portugal you will feel the warmth of the sun and of our people, discovering tastes and textures of a unique and rich culture. “Proudly Portugal” is the first initiative to promote Portugal as a leading LGBTQ friendly travel destination.

I thought it would be fun to take a historical figure like Abraham Lincoln and portray him in rich, primary colours in oil pastel, as Lincoln is most frequently seen in muted tones on five dollar bills or as a statue.

Interchange is a course game that is played alone or with others. It is intuitive, which makes it accessible to everyone. The paths cross, drift apart, and get closer. Each route is different and creates a new experience. We can follow, be followed, become decision-makers, change our minds, or even turn back. The piece, like a musical score, is a metaphor for the richness of human interchanges.

Bangkok is animist. Supernatural beings dwell in trees, water and other natural features, but also vehicles, building and bridges. In Thailand, we strongly believe in the two type of land spirits, Deity of the Land and Lord of the Place. These spirits love to snack, and they’re believed to eat for the duration that the incense burns. From common rice and water, offering cuisine rises through money, taxes and rental fee. Ordinary Thais who live in the kingdom of Thailand, especially in Bangkok, we are working for paying the rental fee for our whole life to the Lord of the Place and Deity of the Land.

„Of Mood“ is part of my semester project “Soft Hair and Rough Cars”, created at the class of guest professor Stefan Marx in summer 2020 at HfG Offenbach. It´s a poster series with merging photos of the city and experimental, illustrative typography inspired by the cities mood.

These four images form part of a larger body of work titled: ‘ISOMETRIC SYSTEM’. By combining flat colour planes with planes of gradient colour, an illusion of a three-dimensional form is created on a two-dimensional plane. Colour choices have been selected with a light and dark sensibility that highlights the relationships and contrasts between abutting colours and planes. Isometric projection isn’t the way we usually view objects, and the shading and colourisation of the planes don’t conform to any logical light source, rendering the work somewhere between the pictorial and the abstract.

‘SEAN HOGAN: 30 WORKS: 2014 – 2020’.
This book spans my interest in coded visual languages, grids, pattern, music, and systems. In these conceptual works, I explored methods of ocular colour mixing, investigated the subversion of colour and words by the manipulation of the International Code of Signals, and developed sets of rules to inform and guide the work’s formal aesthetics (geometry, colour, proportion, line). In reciprocating a form of algorithmic thinking, these works embody and embrace the evolution of humans’ increasingly symbiotic relationship with digital technology.
