The Great Plastic Tide
This graphic was published in Volume Magazine #31 Guilty Landscapes. In three sections: revelations, confessions, and atonement, the issue presents a global scan of large-scale guilty landscapes and our design relation to them.
The Great Plastic Tide is a true representative of a tragedy of the commons, giant swirling gyres of plastic debris are amassing in our oceans, mostly the product of beach pollution from around the world. As the graphic shows, there is no single culprit, rather it is the product of a worldwide phenomenon of mass plastic consumption and improper disposal.

Szymanski, it refers to the practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period—usually more than two, in contrast to biphasic sleep (twice per day) or monophasic sleep (once per day).

Oproep
This publication presents a collection of texts written and performed by Ernest van der Kwast during the State of the Art debates in 2011.
With each chapter we introduced a second layer of imagery with a central theme revolving around the hand.Within each image there's a double meaning besides the obvious numerical indicator.
This is also the premier of VB Pallograph a typeface we designed inspired by a collection of house numberings located in Rotterdam.
